With the progress of society and the development of heavy industry, lifting machinery has a place in industrial development. Therefore, it is one of the commonly used material transportation tools in ports, docks, factories, warehouses, cargo yards, etc. Then the editor will introduce several common Cranes to you.

The following are several common types of cranes and their detailed introduction:

1. Light and small crane equipment

Features: light weight, compact structure, small size, easy to install, disassemble, maintain and maintain, suitable for operation in a small space. The lifting capacity is not weak and can undertake certain lifting tasks.

Application scenarios: widely used in construction sites, workshops, warehouses, docks, docks and other occasions. In industrial production, it can complete the lifting, transportation and loading and unloading of materials, products, equipment and other items; in construction, it is used for lifting and transporting lightweight building materials; in logistics warehousing, it is used for loading and unloading, handling and stacking of goods.

2. Bridge lifting equipment

Main types: beam crane, Bridge Crane, Gantry Crane, Semi-gantry Crane, etc.

Features: The bridge crane is supported on the track or legs by the bridge beam to realize the movement of materials in the horizontal and vertical directions.

Application scenarios: Widely used in workshops, warehouses, open-air and other places. For example, bridge cranes are often used to lift and transport materials in workshops; gantry cranes are often used in open-air places such as ports and docks for loading and unloading of goods due to their large span and high lifting height.

3. Jib Crane equipment

Main types: portal cranes, tower cranes, mobile cranes (including truck cranes, tire cranes, crawler cranes), railway cranes, mast cranes, cantilever cranes, etc.

Features: The jib crane has a telescopic or pitching jib, which can realize the movement of materials in three-dimensional space. Different types of jib cranes have different characteristics and applicable scenarios.

Gantry crane: It is installed on the portal seat and can pass through railway or road vehicles below. It is a mobile slewing crane.

Tower crane: A slewing jib crane with a jib installed on the top of a vertical tower body, with a high lifting height and a wide operating range.

Mobile crane: It is mobile and can be moved to different work locations for operation as needed. Among them, the lifting operation part of the truck crane is installed on a general or special truck chassis; the lifting operation part of the tire crane is installed on a special tire chassis. The driving speed is generally lower than that of the truck crane, and the lifting operation can be performed without legs; the crawler crane is based on crawler tracks and is mainly used for lifting, handling and transportation of heavy objects.

Railway crane: A crane specially designed for fixed and mobile operations along the railway.

Mast crane: A slewing crane whose boom is hinged at the lower part of a vertical mast supported at both ends.

Application scenario: Boom cranes are widely used in various occasions such as construction, ports, mines, factories, etc. For example, tower cranes are often used in the construction of high-rise buildings and large projects; mobile cranes are often used in occasions where the work location needs to be changed frequently due to their strong mobility.

4. Cable crane

Features: The load-bearing rope fixed on the top of the bracket is used as the load-bearing part to realize the lifting and transportation of materials.

Application scenarios: Commonly used for material transportation and hoisting operations in complex terrain conditions such as mountainous areas and canyons.

In summary, different types of cranes have different characteristics and applicable scenarios. Users should choose the appropriate type of crane according to actual needs and work sites. At the same time, when using a crane, operating procedures and safety regulations should be strictly followed to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment.
