In the construction of modern ports and logistics centers, 40.5t container gantry cranes play a vital role. Their efficient and stable operating capabilities are directly related to logistics efficiency and safety. This construction plan focuses on the core points of the 40.5t container gantry crane, aiming to ensure a foolproof installation process through careful planning and rigorous execution. From the project overview to the careful preparation before equipment installation, to the assembly of structural parts, installation process, safety measures and quality inspection, every step embodies professional wisdom and rigorous attitude. Through the implementation of this plan, not only can the installation efficiency of the crane be improved, but also its reliability and safety in subsequent use can be guaranteed, laying a solid foundation for the efficient operation of logistics and transportation.
The core task of this project is to implement the installation and commissioning of the 40.5-ton container gantry crane. The crane is specially designed for container yards, has strong loading and unloading capabilities and efficient working performance, and is an indispensable heavy equipment in modern logistics hubs. Its remarkable features are reflected in the following aspects:
First, the crane has a large span, which can cover a wider operating area and adapt to the operation needs of container yards of various sizes and types; second, its high lifting height can easily cope with container stacking of different heights, ensuring the safe and smooth progress of loading and unloading operations; third, with advanced hydraulic systems and intelligent control systems, the crane has extremely high operating efficiency, greatly shortening the container loading and unloading time and improving the overall operating efficiency.
In terms of equipment structure, the 40.5-ton container gantry crane is mainly composed of the following parts: The main beam, as the core load-bearing component of the crane, is welded with high-strength steel and has sufficient strength and rigidity to withstand huge lifting loads. The main beam is connected to the gantry legs on both sides to form a stable frame structure, ensuring the stability and safety of the whole machine during operation. The running trolley is an important component that travels on the pre-buried or erected track. It is driven by a motor to ensure that the crane can move smoothly on the track. The trolley is installed on the running trolley and is equipped with professional slings and rigging to perform specific container lifting operations. The design of the trolley is light and flexible, and can quickly and accurately locate and grab containers. The driver's cab is located at the driving end of the crane and is equipped with complete operating and control equipment, allowing the operator to clearly observe and control the entire loading and unloading process. The electrical and control system is the "brain" of the entire crane and is responsible for controlling the various functions of the crane. The system adopts an advanced PLC program control system, integrating multiple functional modules such as power supply, protection, speed regulation, and limit.
Before the official installation begins, the installation site needs to be fully and carefully prepared and arranged. First, ensure that the ground in the installation area is flat, solid, and free of debris and obstacles, so that large equipment can enter the site smoothly and start operations. For small or complex sites, detailed on-site surveys and layout designs should be carried out in advance, and reasonable construction plans should be formulated to avoid inoperability or delays in the installation process.
Road planning is a crucial link. The transportation routes of various parts of the crane need to be evaluated to ensure that the entire journey from the access road to the installation location is unobstructed. Especially for large parts, factors such as turning radius, channel width and carrying capacity need to be considered to avoid the inability to install smoothly due to limited road conditions. In addition, the range of activities of the crane during operation should also be considered to ensure that there are no other buildings, pipelines or other obstacles in the surrounding area that affect its normal operation.
Set up eye-catching warning signs and isolation facilities around the installation area to prevent unrelated personnel from approaching and ensure construction safety. At the same time, temporary lighting facilities and night construction warning lights should be set up as needed to ensure the safety and visibility of operations under low light conditions.
Before installation, a detailed list of tools and materials required should be compiled based on the design plan and equipment information. This includes but is not limited to various types of crane equipment, special slings, high-strength bolts, nuts, gaskets and other auxiliary materials. For each tool and material, strict quality inspection and testing should be carried out in advance to ensure that it meets the installation requirements and is in good working condition. For example, the crane should have sufficient lifting capacity and stability; the sling should have sufficient strength and wear resistance; bolts, nuts and other connectors should meet the design specifications and have sufficient anti-loosening performance.
It is also necessary to equip the construction workers with complete safety protection supplies, such as safety helmets, safety belts, protective glasses, earplugs, etc. that meet national standards, to ensure that each operator can get adequate safety protection during the construction process. At the same time, it is also necessary to prepare corresponding technical manuals, drawings and materials for on-site managers so that they can consult and guide at any time during the installation process.
Before the official installation, it is very important to organize all personnel involved in the construction to conduct detailed safety technical disclosure. In this process, the specific task objectives, construction process and specific requirements of each link of the construction are elaborated in detail, especially for the part of safe operation, it is necessary to assign responsibilities to people and ensure that everyone is clear about their responsibilities and safety precautions. Through examples and analysis, all construction personnel are strengthened to understand the risks and sources of danger that may be encountered, and improve their safety awareness.
Professional training for construction personnel is also an indispensable step. This includes but is not limited to basic knowledge such as the structural characteristics, working principles, and operating procedures of the crane, as well as professional skills training required for specific installation tasks. Ensure that each construction worker has sufficient theoretical knowledge and practical operation ability to skillfully complete various installation tasks. In order to test the training effect, theoretical examinations and practical exercises can also be organized. Only construction personnel who pass the assessment can officially participate in the installation operation, thereby fundamentally reducing the possibility of safety accidents and providing strong guarantees for the smooth progress of the entire project.
In the assembly stage of the main beams and door legs, each component needs to be carefully pre-processed first, including but not limited to correction, drilling, and necessary welding. All these steps must strictly comply with the requirements of the design drawings to ensure that the relative position and angle accuracy of the main beam and the door leg meet the standards. When using high-strength bolts for connection, they must be pre-tightened according to the correct torque requirements to ensure the strength and stability of the connection, while avoiding structural damage caused by over-tightening. In addition, all connection parts are carefully non-destructively tested, such as ultrasonic testing or magnetic particle testing, to check for possible cracks, slag inclusions, unfused defects, etc., to ensure reliable connection quality. After the assembly is completed, the entire structure is pre-tightened to improve the rigidity and stability of the overall structure and further enhance its load-bearing capacity.
During the assembly process of the running trolley and the crossbeam, the first task is to ensure that the trolley can run smoothly and smoothly on the track. This involves precise testing and debugging of key components such as wheels and bearings, including checking the wheelbase, wheel diameter error, and the rotation flexibility of the bearings, to ensure that the trolley has no obvious shaking or abnormal sound during operation. At the same time, for the connection design between the crossbeam and the main beam, the installation position and angle of the crossbeam must be precisely controlled to ensure that it forms a correct relative geometric relationship with the main beam. High-strength bolts or other types of connectors are used during assembly to ensure that the connection between the two is firm and has sufficient rigidity.
The assembly of trolley and cab is one of the important links in the assembly process of the entire crane structure. For the trolley part, the main focus is on the performance of its traveling mechanism and lifting mechanism. The traveling mechanism should ensure smooth operation on the guide rail without shaking; the lifting mechanism needs to undergo strict inspection and debugging to ensure that it moves accurately and without jamming during the lifting process. At the same time, for the cab part, the comfort of the seat inside, the installation accuracy and sensitivity of the operating components such as the joystick and the instrument panel must be ensured. After the installation is completed, the enclosure and sound insulation performance of the cab must also be tested to provide operators with a safe and comfortable working environment.

Regular emergency drills and training activities are organized to improve the emergency handling capabilities and self-rescue and mutual rescue capabilities of construction personnel. At the same time, an emergency plan review and revision mechanism is established to ensure its adaptability and effectiveness.
After the crane installation work is completed, a comprehensive and rigorous structural component connection quality inspection must be carried out. This link involves a detailed check of the tightness of various connectors such as bolts, nuts, pins, washers, etc. to ensure that they meet the torque standards required by the design and avoid mechanical failures or safety accidents caused by looseness. At the same time, the welding process of key parts is strictly controlled to check whether the welding seam is smooth and uniform, and whether there are welding defects such as cracks, slag inclusions, and incomplete penetration, so as to ensure that the connection between the structural parts is both firm and reliable, thereby ensuring the safety and stability of the overall structure of the crane.
The electrical system of the crane is comprehensively and meticulously debugged and tested. During the debugging process, the control accuracy, response speed, stability, etc. of the control system are strictly tested to ensure that all parameters meet the design requirements. By testing the insulation resistance, withstand voltage strength, temperature rise and other performance indicators of electrical components, check whether the quality of electrical components meets the standards and whether there are safety hazards. The operating status of the entire electrical system should also be monitored and recorded to ensure that the electrical system can meet the operating requirements of the crane.
The lifting performance of the crane is comprehensively and rigorously tested and verified. Through no-load test, full-load test, overload test and other means, the crane's lifting capacity, operating speed, stability and other performance indicators are tested. These tests can not only verify whether the crane's carrying capacity meets the design requirements, but also check whether the crane's operating stability, safety and other performance indicators meet the specifications.
