The gantry crane is widely used in port cargo yards due to its high site utilization rate, large operating range, wide adaptability, and strong versatility. So what operating procedures should be noted when using it. Today, Shandong Qilide Heavy Industry will give you a detailed introduction.

1. The gantry crane track should be regularly inspected, maintained, and equipped with grounding wires. The gantry crane must be installed according to the design requirements, and vehicles and pedestrians are prohibited from passing through the suspension area.

2. When resting or correcting homework, cut off the power and lock the distribution box. During the operation of the gantry crane, the tracks and cables should be monitored by dedicated personnel. Before hoisting, it is necessary to check whether the key parts such as the winches and balance beams on the crossbeam are normal and firm.

Equipment and components weighing over 3.480 tons should be stopped from lifting when the wind reaches level five.

4. Overloading is prohibited. The excessive gravity generated by overloading operations of gantry cranes can cause wire ropes to break, transmission components to be damaged, and electric motors to burn out. Due to insufficient braking force, the brake cannot hold the brake, resulting in major accidents. Overloading operations pose a significant threat to the structure of gantry cranes, with typical examples being the deflection of the main beam, cracking and detachment of the upper cover plate and web plate, which pose serious safety hazards to gantry crane operations.

The above are the precautions for operating a gantry crane. We hope you can strictly follow the crane operation specifications to avoid accidents.
