The span of the crane is the horizontal interval of the centerline of the crane carriage track, that is, the crane gauge. Sometimes, due to the needs of production activities, it is necessary to chang[...]
During the operation of bridge cranes, mechanical parts, electrical parts and hydraulic system parts will inevitably undergo physical wear and tear and lead to failure. The main girder of the bridge c[...]
Crane is a very useful lifting equipment, has a wide range of use, can lift and load heavy objects. But the problem is that during use, the two steel wire ropes of the crane are easy to "kink" and aff[...]
The components of the crane control electrical appliances, motors, reducers, etc., and abnormal noise may occur during operation. The location, volume, and tone of these noises vary depending on the c[...]
Pendant Control Stations hang from the hoist or separate festoon system/track of cranes and it limits the overall mobility for the crane operator when hoisting a load. This limited mobility can introd[...]
Designing and handling powered lifting equipment has changed radically in the past 10 years, as they have now evolved into intrinsically designed equipment, complete with on board computers, to ensure[...]
By stopping a breakdown in its tracks with a preventative maintenance program, you’re keeping wear on major components to a minimum, and overall damage to the crane is averted. Cranes are some of th[...]
The addition of an overhead crane has paid dividends for a Dartmouth, N.S. machine shop. When Ace Machining outgrew its previous home base, the owners had a new 14,500-sq.-ft. facility built to their [...]
The Canadian Standards Association’s B167 standard — for overhead cranes, gantry cranes, monorails, hoists, and jib cranes — has come a long way since its inception in 1964. As a participating m[...]
The working duty of the crane is divided according to the crane utilization level and load status, or the crane working level is a parameter indicating the heavy workload of the crane, that is, indica[...]
