Discussion on influencing factors of gantry crane’s stability

The structure, performance, shape, and application fields of gantry cranes are all common types and are widely used in freight yards, factories, ports and other occasions. Regardless of the single-beam gantry crane or the double-beam gantry crane , there are some potential safety hazards in the application process of enterprises. Most of the causes are due to the influence of the stability of the gantry crane. Our editor discusses several factors affecting the stability of gantry cranes.

1. The center of gravity of the gantry crane has shifted

Due to the irregular structure of the gantry crane, you must be especially careful when calculating its center of gravity. If there is an error in the calculation that causes the center of gravity of the gantry crane to rise or other deviations, it is likely to cause the gantry crane due to the unstable center of gravity. Loss of balance will eventually lead to equipment dumping accidents. Generally, regular manufacturers have production qualifications and professional technical personnel, so you can buy our products with peace of mind.

2. There is a problem with the quality of the components of the gantry crane

For example, the components of the supporting leg part of the gantry crane may be broken, deformed, or bent due to quality problems, which will affect the overall stability of the equipment and incline.

3. The gantry crane is subjected to a large external force

Gantry cranes generally work in outdoor situations. If they encounter strong winds or collisions with other objects, the stability of the gantry cranes may be affected and accidents such as tilting or overturning may occur. During use, pay attention to the cleaning of the work area and take measures to prevent wind.

4. The gantry crane suddenly brakes during operation

Sudden braking will cause the inertia of the gantry crane to bring a huge torque, which will not only cause damage to the parts of the equipment, but also affect the stability of the gantry crane. In order to prevent such accidents, the brakes of the gantry crane are generally It must be adjusted appropriately to avoid sudden braking.

5. The lifting operation of the gantry crane is not standardized

When the enterprise uses the gantry crane, if the operation regulations are violated and the operator performs illegal operations, such as overloading, slanting and inclined crane , unbalanced double hook lifting, etc., the stability of the gantry crane will be affected.

6. There are problems with the installation of gantry cranes

For example, the inclined surface of the installation site or the foundation is not compacted, and the components are not firmly fixed during installation, etc., will affect the stability of the gantry crane. The foundation of the gantry crane is a very important factor. If the user does not know how to build the foundation, you can contact us.
