Monorail cranes, single beam suspension cranes and electric hoists are all lifting equipment used to lift heavy objects. Some users do not understand the difference between these three types of equipment. Our editor will introduce the differences and connections between the three. .
In this article, everyone should understand the concepts of track, beam, hoisting mechanism, and walking mechanism.
The electric hoist is just the lifting mechanism in the crane, which is only responsible for carrying heavy objects for simple lifting movements. If you want it to be responsible for the lifting of objects in an area, you need to equip it with a walking beam and provide a convenient track for the movement of the beam.
A monorail crane is a crane equipment whose hoisting mechanism can only move in the direction of the track, that is, the electric hoist is suspended on the track, and the hoist can make simple linear movements along the direction of the track. This kind of equipment is generally used in applications where the transport of heavy objects is linear. For example, to transport heavy objects from one fixed location to another, an I-beam track is erected between the two points, and the electric hoist is suspended under the I-beam to transport the heavy objects.
The structure of a single-beam suspension crane is much more complicated than that of a monorail crane. The electric hoist is suspended from the main girder body, and the main girder is suspended under the I-beam track and runs back and forth. The working range of a single beam suspension crane is a rectangular area. Compared with a monorail crane, the working area is larger and more flexible.
