How A 20 Ton Overhead Crane Saves Money

 

When a 20 ton bridge crane leaves the factory, the general rule of wear cycle is about 60 hours (some are called break-in period), which is confirmed by the manufacturer according to the technical characteristics of the crane.

 

first use. The running-in period is an important link to ensure the normal operation of the crane, reduce the failure rate and prolong its service life. However, there are also users who ignore the special skill requirements of the new crane during the running-in period, because they lack the knowledge of crane operation, or because of the tight construction schedule, or expect to make profits as soon as possible.

 

Some users even think that the manufacturer has a warranty period, and the machine is repaired by the manufacturer. Therefore, the machine in the running-in period is overloaded for a long time, resulting in frequent failures in the early stage of the machine, which not only affects the normal use of the machine and shortens the service life of the machine, but also affects the progress of the project due to machine damage. Therefore, during the trial run, attention should be paid to the use and maintenance of the crane.

15 ton bridge crane maintenance precautions:

 

Before leaving the factory, the 15 ton bridge crane equipment must be marked and recorded.

 

Safety inspection and protection of equipment before installation: check the integrity of the main mechanical functions of the equipment, check the visible defects of the main steel structure and connectors, bolts and bolts, check the anti-corrosion condition of the equipment surface, record the form, and put forward installation suggestions.

 

After the equipment is delivered for use, the equipment operators or full-time personnel of the operating unit will carry out daily maintenance, and the installation maintenance unit is obliged to supervise and inspect the daily maintenance.

 

The main content of daily maintenance is summarized as "cross-operation method": cleaning, fastening, smoothing, adjustment, anti-corrosion.

 

Every day, 10-30 minutes before class and after class, check the lubricating oil and lubricating oil of each component and equipment according to the rules, pay attention to whether the sound of the mechanical operation is normal, and do a good job of cleaning and shift work to achieve a clean appearance and normal operation Intention equipment, recorded once a day.

 

The record of shift handover is implemented in a fixed manner. Check lifting equipment regularly. Carry out crane inspection and maintenance process guidelines, and regularly inspect and maintain equipment during use: focus on cleaning, smoothing, adjustment, disassembly, and maintenance, and perform multiple maintenance and repairs on mechanical equipment within the specified time. Repairers and operators generally work together.

 

The 15 ton bridge crane is a special kind of mechanical equipment. In order to ensure that its function reaches a normal level, the daily maintenance of the crane is very important. But the maintenance cost of the crane is a huge cost for users and individuals.

Considering the cost saved, if you complete these three details, you can save a lot of unnecessary maintenance costs. We will first introduce relevant content in this regard.

 

Confirm the protection period of the crane. The equipment repair period can be long or short, but some units or individuals do not fully trust the data description of the crane factory, and the new equipment will be repaired soon, ignoring the specific use of the equipment.

 

In detail, the different working conditions and stroke lengths of the various components of the lifting mechanism can be used as the basis for judging the maintenance period.

Oil application. Most cranes use hydraulic oil, lubricating oil, fuel oil and other oils. When working with cranes, it is inevitable to spend a lot of money on oil. However, if the fuel consumption of the crane is considered and the factors that increase the fuel consumption of the crane are minimized, we believe that the use of oil can achieve the purpose of saving maintenance costs.

 

Maintain. In the process of using the crane, many people have to wait for some equipment to collapse before repairing the crane.

 

Therefore, folding devices can easily be repaired once in a while, which undoubtedly increases the cost of device maintenance.

 

Therefore, crane operators must pay attention to improving, adjusting and repairing every small problem of the equipment, so as to prolong the "collapse" and "repair" cycle of the equipment.
