What Kind of Crane is Suitable for Plant Work

Generally speaking, the practical plant cranes are generally overhead cranes, gantry cranes and electric crane hoists. These lifting equipment is very suitable for plant lifting operation, because the space of the plant is narrow and the beam and other structures of the plant can be used as the foot frame of the crane.


1. Overhead crane


The overhead crane is a lifting machine that can be horizontally erected over the workshop, and can carry out load operation in transverse, longitudinal and horizontal directions to lift materials. It is also called crown block, because its two ends are placed on the cement column or the metal beam of the plant, and the whole machine is in midair.


Longitudinal rails are installed at both ends of the bridge of the overhead crane, so that the crane can move longitudinally, so as to make better use of the space under the bridge to lift heavy objects and avoid bumping obstacles on the ground. Overhead crane is the most widely used and the largest number of lifting equipment in the market.


2. Gantry cranes


The portal gantry crane is improved on the basis of overhead cranes. It can be used in the material yard outside the plant to load and unload goods. The metal structure of the crane is similar to the door frame, and there is a leg at both ends of the main beam, which can load materials on the track put on the ground. Both ends of the main beam also have the function of extending the cantilever beam. Because of the advantages of site utilization, large operation radius and sound universality, gantry cranes have been widely used in some ports and plants.


This is the simplest lifting equipment, which can be used alone or in combination with gantry cranes or overhead cranes. It has the advantages of small volume, light weight and convenience. It is common in industrial and mining enterprises, material yards of plants and other places.
