How To Operate A Crane in Rainy Days?

How to operate a crane in rainy days?

In today's modern industrial construction process, mechanization has been popularized.

Cranes are one of the important mechanical equipment for modern construction. Various types of cranes are often seen in industrial processing, engineering construction, port transportation, etc. aspect designed.

For mobile cranes, wheel slip is a common phenomenon, which makes the reducer unable to operate, especially in rainy days, which is prone to occur.

In particular, the things that cranes generally lift are tens of tons, and some are as high as hundreds of tons. During the lifting process, the crane has a high potential energy because of its large load and high position. Once an accident occurs, the high potential energy will quickly Converted into high kinetic energy, resulting in irreparable damage.

Although each crane is put into use after careful design, in the process of use, unexpected situations such as sun and rain are inevitable. For example, in rainy days, the wheels are more likely to slip, which will affect the work.

In view of this situation, you may not know how to prevent it. Next, the gantry crane manufacturer will share with you the prevention methods for slipping in rainy days.

Tip:

And take defensive measures, such as driving and gantry crane equipment, pay attention to maintenance, when resuming operation, clear the rainwater on the running track, so that the crane can work in a better state and ensure that the lifting task can be completed stably.

In rainy days, the bridge gantry cranes used outdoors often slip due to the track, road surface, wheels, tires, etc. being covered with rainwater, which affects the operation of the equipment and even causes accidents.

If there is no time to take action, it may be necessary to stop the equipment as soon as possible to effectively remove the rain from the runway.

If you want to take relevant measures to solve the problem, the emergency solution is to use anti-skid chains to fix the tires that are prone to skidding, which can increase the friction between the tires and the ground and reduce the occurrence of skidding.

In order to avoid such a situation, which may lead to difficulty in equipment operation or cause safety accidents, we do a good job of anti-skid fixing of the crane to reduce the chance of slipping.

The reason why the bridge gantry crane will slip:

1. The wheel pressure is too small

Correctly calculate the load capacity and wheel pressure bearing capacity of the gantry crane, and fix the tires with skid chains on the tires that are easy to slip. This is to increase the friction between the tires and the ground, thereby reducing the chance of slippage.

2. The power of the selected motor is too large, and the driving force is greater than the friction force between the wheel and the track.

A matching motor must be selected, no matter the power of the motor is too large or too small.

3. The braking torque of the brake is too large and the braking time is too short

The braking time should be appropriate.

For the sake of safety, gantry cranes operating in the open air should be stopped in rainy days, and rain-proof measures should be taken.

When the weather is good, the rainwater should be removed during operation to keep the gantry crane in working condition to ensure that the lifting task can be completed safely and stably.

In addition to the above points to be noted, the driver must strictly abide by the following commands when operating the overhead crane or gantry crane:

1. The operation is prohibited when the light is dim, the weight is unknown, and the slings and accessories are not fastened;

2. The lifted object must be firmly fixed so as not to fall in the middle;

3. If the items to be lifted are not neatly arranged, the driver is prohibited from operating the crane;

4. When there is no hanging object on the workpiece or there is a workpiece on the workpiece, the operation is prohibited;

5. When there are moving objects on the workpiece, there is a great safety hazard, and the machine is prohibited from operating at this time;

6. Do not lift oxygen cylinders, acetylene generators and other unsuspended explosives, which have potential safety hazards;

7. Objects with angular edges and block mouths are not hung (to prevent the wire rope from being worn or cut);

8. The command signal is unknown, and the operation cannot be performed when the command is illegal;
