Port Crane Operation and Selection Precautions

Ports are very important places that are designed for the transportation and circulation of goods, therefore, there are many cargoes in ports. However, when it comes to the transportation of goods, it is necessary to pay attention to more factors in order to make the port operate better. Therefore, the use of port gantry cranes is also very important, and more factors should be taken into consideration when using this type of crane.

1. The body of the port gantry crane develops cracks

Firstly, it is necessary to look at the factors that affect it. The most common one is the wind. Gantry cranes operate outdoors, fully exposed to sunlight and rain. In addition, wind can also impede the operation of the crane to a certain extent.

When the port gantry crane is in operation, if the wind force is relatively large, the crane will need to resist the wind force during the operation. In this regard, we should pay attention that the load we bear will inevitably increase, exceeding the mechanical bearing capacity. No matter how sturdy the machine is, once the body is overloaded, cracks may appear. If the shape of the gantry crane is reinforced, it can reduce the damage to the main beam of the crane equipment.

2. Precautions before operating the port gantry crane

Pay attention to the function of the power system, which is to export the car engine to the gasoline pump, and the pump exports high-pressure oil, which is distributed to the lifting equipment for lifting and hoisting operations according to the pressure regulating valve. At this time, attention should also be paid to the power device before assembly, and the control handle in the control room should be in the middle position.

Then, for the extractor operation in the port gantry crane, the leg control handle should be in the middle position; then operate the extractor in the lifting equipment. At this time, attention should be paid to the gearbox control handle being in neutral position; then, for the extractor in the lifting equipment, attention should also be paid to the chassis being in the parking and braking state.

3. Things to consider when choosing a port gantry crane.

There are many aspects to consider when using a port gantry crane. Firstly, the load-bearing capacity should be taken into consideration. Due to the various types of gantry cranes available now, especially for different weights of goods, different loading capacity gantry cranes will be planned for better use. Therefore, when choosing a gantry crane, attention should be paid to the load-bearing capacity. Only the appropriate load-bearing capacity can bring better results and show better trends in practical use.

Of course, when selecting a gantry crane, attention should also be paid to the relevant quality. Nowadays, there are many manufacturers producing gantry cranes, but not every manufacturer can guarantee quality, so it is necessary to pay more attention to the quality of such large equipment.

At the same time, the price should also be taken into consideration when choosing a port gantry crane. The price is also very important for this type of equipment. If the price is set too high, it will naturally have a great impact on the actual purchase. If the price is set too low, it indicates that the quality of the gantry crane will be greatly affected. Therefore, in this case, a type with a reasonable price should be chosen, which can ensure the actual use effect.

Moreover, when choosing this type of gantry crane, attention should also be paid to the relevant manufacturers, especially those with strength, as they can provide more guaranteed gantry cranes.
