20 Ton European Double Girder Bridge Crane for Australian Storage

Australian company lifting requirements in storage

This cooperative company comes from Australia. The boss wanted to buy sets of bridge crane for his warehouse to move and store heavy loads. As we all know, injuries resulting from heavy, frequent, and awkward lifting is one of the most common types of warehouse injuries, even in young adults.

In addition to worker injuries, storing and moving heavy goods is a main concern for workflow and is often done very inefficiently. Heavy goods are often moved on pallets by forklifts to work areas for processing. These work areas usually lack the ability to store pallets, requiring workers to wait for a forklift operator to bring them materials. Automated storage lifts use a very small footprint by storing heavy parts vertically. Maximizing storage at the point of use enhances productivity and eliminates wait times for materials. Combining the vertical storage lift with an integrated  warehouse overhead crane makes moving, storing, and lifting heavy parts such as press tools, motors, and pumps fast, efficient, and safe.

How does a warehouse overhead crane work?

Working rules of 20 ton crane for storage: the crane consists of various components and accessories that make it possible to lift and move loads safely from one place in the facility to another. The lifting system is made up of a bridge-like overhead structure with a set of girders that provide integrity to the system. The main girder usually has rails on which the trolley moves the goods horizontally, while the side girders facilitate the transverse movement of the structure. There are different warehouse overhead crane configurations depending on the needs and load movements of each facility.

Working rules of moving loads: the heavy loads are lifted by a hoist, trolley, or winch, which raises the heavy goods and places them in the right location. The hoist is a machine consisting of a hook, two or more pulleys and a rope, cable or chain to minimise the effort in moving bulky goods from one area of the facility to another. The load is usually fitted with a hitch system so that the hoist can easily pick up the goods.

Safety features

Yuantai bridge crane structure also has its own safety features: these include limit stops for the trolley and overhead section as well as on the lifting mechanism and safety latches on the hooks, which secure the load during the movement of the goods.

Benefits of the 20 ton bridge crane in Australian storage

When it comes to running a warehouse or large industrial business, you not only require high-quality tools, but also the right tools to keep your processes running smoothly. With an 20 ton overhead crane, you will be able to maximize productivity, quickly transport goods and objects around your facility, and enjoy a range of other benefits, additional benefits of using automated vertical storage lifts with integrated overhead cranes including:

1. Since the lifts stores trays vertically in unused air space, it stores goods in drastically less space than conventional warehouse storage racks (up to 85% floor space savings)
2. Workers do not have to waste time waiting for separate overhead cranes and other heavy lifting equipment
3. Less travel time with goods-to-person delivery
4. Trays are fully extracted and delivered at an ergonomic height
5. Less picking errors with optional integrated batch picking and pick-to-light software
6. Reduced or eliminated wait time for order processing

Why choose Yuantai 20 ton warehouse crane?

1. Increased Safety--Forklifts carry the risk of imprecise stacking, dropping goods as well as accidents (due to crashing). Since an overhead crane moves objects through the overhead space of the facility, they don’t carry any of these risks and are capable of moving heavy and bulky loads more quickly than forklifts.
2. Easy Lifting of Loads--As mentioned earlier, overhead cranes come with high lifting capabilities. Once you have your crane, you can depend on it to lift and transport your goods to other parts of your facility. However, every cranes have a specified lift capacity, so make sure you don’t exceed it to avoid the risk of accidents or failure.
3. Customizable--Overhead cranes can be easily customized by adding one of many Below-The-Hook accessories including lifting beams, spreader beams, roll & coil lifters, tongs, sheet lifters and pallet lifters.
4. Improved Ergonomics--Because the overhead cranes do the heavy lifting for you, they remove strain on your operators, which reduces risk of injury, while reducing worker fatigue.
5. Three crane control ways for you to choose--Overhead cranes, more often than not, come with precision controls that will position objects precisely and without much trouble. This allows the operator to place the load exactly where they want it to be, while minimizing human error.
