What is the span, gauge and base distance of a crane?

The span, gauge and base distance of the crane are more professional terms, and they are some commonly used terms in the crane industry. Many users don't understand these concepts and don't understand what they mean, so the editor of our factory will introduce the meaning of these words to you here.

The gauge of a crane refers to the horizontal distance between the centerline of the rail crane's trolley running track or the crane's walking track, that is, the distance between two parallel tracks, and the gauge is also called the wheelbase. Can be divided into trolley gauge and trolley gauge. The trolley gauge is the parameter of double-beam bridge cranes and double-beam gantry cranes. The single-beam cranes of our factory do not have the concept of trolley gauge. The distance should be determined according to the mechanism layout and the overall stability requirements of the crane.

The span of the crane is the horizontal distance of the centerline of the crane's trolley running track, that is, the trolley gauge.

The crane base distance refers to the horizontal distance between the center lines of the front and rear wheels along the track direction, which is also determined according to the mechanism layout and the overall stability requirements of the crane. If the walking part is eight wheels, it is the distance from the center on the same side.

Both the trolley and the trolley of the crane have a gauge and a base distance. For a single-beam crane that uses a wire rope electric hoist as a lifting mechanism, only the trolley has the concept of a gauge and a base distance.

When ordering a crane, the customer only needs to confirm the span.
