Rail installation for rail crane: Overhead crane and gantry crane

 Rail cranes such as overhead crane and gantry crane are installed on crane rails. Crane rail installation can affect the travelling of your overhead and gantry cranes. Check rail installation tips for your rail crane manufacturers!

Rail installation for overhead crane

For overhead crane, the crane rail are paved on supporting beam, which include steel beam and concrete beam.

According to overhead crane drawing, settle down the position, altitude. Before install rail, firstly inspect groove, section, straight line, and warp of the crane rail, after qualified, pave the crane rail. And find out rail datum line.

If the crane rail is paved on supporting beam, the crane rail center distance and supporting beam center distance, their deviation should be within 10mm, and not bigger than beam half thickness.

Crane rail is fixed on supporting beam, rail bottom should be sole laying on beam top. If there is space and long is more than 200mm, there should be padded, pad length is more than 100mm, width is 10—20mm wider than rail bottom. Each set of pad must not more than 3 layers. Pads are welded to supporting beam.

The deviation between cane rail center distance and installing datum line, should be not more than 5mm for general gantry crane.

If the crane span length is not more than 10m, rail center distance allow a deviation of ±3.0 mm.

if crane span is more than 10m, rail center distance allow a deviation of ±15 mm. Following is formula:

△S=±[3+0.25(S-10)] : △S: crane span deviation(mm) S—rail center distance deviation(m)

The crane rail connecting joint should be stagger, the staggered distance is not same as wheel gauge. And on joint, the supporting point should be at span’s 1/3～1/4. Crane rail i-beam flange weld bevel butt weld, web has same strength through welding butt weld, after welding, the welding surface is leveling. Artifacts correction for the inclination of the I beam flange delta < / 80 b, b is I beam flange width. Torsion of Angle steel, i-beam vector △h≤L/1000 or less, but shall not be bigger than 5 mm. Local buckling of steel plate rise within a certain range f≤1.5mm.

Some steel plate is out of shape, you can correct it by hammer. For some structural steel, there is special Jack to do gagging. If it is difficult, heat straightening is possible, but the heat temperature should be not more than 900°C.

Then make holes for bolts on end of crane rail used to connecting by clamps. You should make holes by mechanical not instead of gas cutting. Bolts can’t have crack, rag or nick.

At last, pave the crane rail and fix it on supporting beam with welding or bolts platens. The welding is inspected by ultrasonic, require I grade.

Crane rail on concrete beam

If the crane rail is paved on concrete beam, firstly, there should be embedded steel plate on top of concrete beam. Crane rail is fixed on the embedded steel plate, which is similar as gantry crane rail foundation. Other work is same as above.

Overhead crane safety tips card Operating the Crane and Moving the Load

  Fatalities or serious injuries can occur if   overhead cranes   are not inspected and properly used. Fatalities may occur when workers are struck by a load, or pinched between the load and another object. The following are some safety tips for overhead crane operators to follow while operating the crane machine and moving the load. •Do not engage in any activity that will divert your attention. •Do not lift, lower, or transport a load with the crane or hoist until all personnel are clear of the load and the load’s path. • Verify that the load, crane and hoist will clear all obstacles before moving or rotating the load. •Do not move loads over personnel. •Do not lift, lower, or transport personnel by means of the crane, hoist, trolley, hoist hook, or load. • Slowly inch the hook into engagement with the load to eliminate wire rope slack and reduce impact loading of the crane and hoist. • Avoid unnecessary inching and quick reversals of direction. • Lift the load only a few inches to

Single Speed Electric Wire Rope Hoist

  Electric wire rope hoist is a type of electric hoists for material handling, installed on a   single beam crane,   linear curve strander beams or it can be used at the hoisting mechanism of   double beam crane , gantry crane, linear crane for material handling by industrial and mining enterprises, railways, and warehouses, etc. The lifting capacity of single speed electric wire rope hoist is 0,5 to 32 ton and the working class is M3 and M4. The main parameters of electric wire rope hoist is as follow: Product Type CD1 Lifting Capacity of High Speed Hoist 0.5~32t Lifting Height High Speed Hoist 6~50m Lifting Speed High Speed Hoist 8 m/ min Travelling speed 20,30m/min Working Class High Speed Hoist M3,M4 Ambient Temperature -25~40℃

Wire Rope Electric Hoists Inspections

  1.Wire rope electric hoist motor temperature rise is too high. First of all, check whether the  wire rope electric hoist  is overloaded. The overload causes the motor to heat up. Then check whether the motor bearing is damaged or not, and whether the motor works according to the regulations. When the motor is running, if the brake clearance is too small, will generate a large frictional force. The frictional heat also increases the additional load. 2.Wire rope electric hoist can not start after heavy objects rise to mid-air, or after parking can not re-start. First check if the system voltage is too low or the fluctuation is too large. If it is, restart it only after the voltage returns to normal. On the other hand, if it cannot be started after stopping, pay attention to whether there is a phase loss in the operation of the three-phase motor. 3.Can not stop working. The power should be cut off immediately, the wire rope electric hoist should be forcibly stopped, and the repair the c
