Sinoko Cranes Tips: The Importance of the Running-in Period for Electric Hoist Gantry Cranes
Time:2017.12.26 Click:1192

All new products are not easy to operate at the initial stage of use, but operators can master proficient operation skills after a period of running-in, and electric hoist gantry cranes are no exception. Generally, according to the initial operating characteristics of cranes, they have a running-in period of about 60 hours. Correct operation and use during the running-in period is crucial for reducing the failure rate and extending the service life of cranes in normal operation.

All crane operators have received professional training and are proficient in crane operation. The running-in period is an essential stage for operators to get familiar with the equipment. Before operating the machine, operators must carefully read the operation and maintenance manual and conduct operation and maintenance work in strict accordance with the manual requirements.

Secondly, ensure that the working load of the crane does not exceed 80% of its rated load. Maintain moderate operation and avoid overheating caused by long-term continuous working of the equipment.

In addition, regularly check the level and quality of lubricating oil, hydraulic oil, coolant, brake fluid and fuel oil, and inspect the tightness of all sealing parts. Keep the equipment clean, and timely adjust and fasten loose components.

Tips from electric hoist gantry crane manufacturer: Attach great importance to the operation during the running-in period, reduce working load and strengthen lubrication, so as to reduce early equipment failures and extend the service life of the crane.

Operating Characteristics of General Overhead Cranes
Overhead cranes are widely used in terminals, open storage yards, indoor and outdoor warehouses and factory workshops. They are mainly divided into three types: general overhead cranes, metallurgical overhead cranes and simple beam overhead cranes.General overhead cranes can vertically lift and horizontally move heavy loads suspended on hooks or other lifting devices in three-dimensional space. The crane is mainly composed of a hoisting mechanism and trolley traveling mechanism. Through the coordinated operation of these mechanisms, the equipment can complete the lifting and handling of goods within a certain cubical space. Gantry cranes, bridge unloaders and metallurgical overhead cranes all belong to this category of lifting equipment.The bridge frame of the general overhead crane runs longitudinally along the tracks installed on elevated supports on both sides, while the lifting trolley travels transversely on the tracks laid on the bridge frame, forming a rectangular working area. This design makes full use of the space under the bridge for material hoisting and transportation without being restricted by ground equipment.The intelligence of lifting equipment can effectively extend human brain functions. It can automatically take countermeasures against problems arising during operation to optimize the working performance of the equipment and effectively guarantee its safety and reliability.For more information, welcome to visit our official website or contact us.
