Regular Maintenance of Overhead Canes

Regular Maintenance of Overhead Cranes

Like all large appliances, they still require regular maintenance after a period of use, even if there are no obvious failures. Overhead cranes also need periodic maintenance to ensure the safe use of the crane. The maintenance of overhead cranes mainly includes daily inspection, monthly inspection and annual inspection.

The Main Content of Overhead Crane Maintenance

According to the actual use, most users will overhaul and maintain it every 3 to 4 months. Generally, the daily inspection is completed by professional operators, mainly to check whether the control system of the overhead crane is faulty, whether there are safety hazards in the metal structural parts, safety protection devices, whether the working mechanisms and operating mechanisms are normal, etc. The monthly inspection is relatively comprehensive, such as whether the electrical control system has loose electrical components, whether the lubrication points of the bridge crane need to be lubricated, whether the safety protection devices are sensitive and effective, etc. Potential hidden dangers are found and dealt with in a timely manner. Inspection and maintenance records. On the basis of daily inspection and monthly inspection, the annual inspection pays attention to the performance of the whole crane, checks whether the electrical components and cables of the crane are aging, and replaces wearing parts, such as wire ropes and brake pads. Whether the metal structure has permanent plastic deformation and whether the track is worn or not needs to be carefully checked.

The Role of Maintenance Bridge Cranes

The maintenance of the bridge crane plays a very important role in the safe use of the crane, and it is necessary to send a special person to check and maintain it frequently. However, the utilization rate of some cranes is very low, and it may be used once a year or once every two years. For example: some municipal engineering waterlogging pump station maintenance cranes, when there is no major waterlogging, the crane is not used at all, so the pump station is not used or maintained. But once the crane is needed, the time is very urgent, and the machine is required to have high reliability. If the bridge crane is not maintained in place, it is prone to failures of one kind or another. For this type of bridge crane that is used infrequently, you can make a maintenance plan according to the actual use law. It does not necessarily need to be carried out according to the rules of daily inspection, monthly inspection and annual inspection, as long as the crane is guaranteed to be used before it needs to be used. A full overhaul can be done.

Why Custom a Crane Solution?

At Yuantai, we know that there is no "one size fits all" in the lifting field. Universal cranes are suitable for general factories, warehouses, etc. Besides, different applications have different needs for cranes. For example, steel industries often lift steel plates, so need electromagnetic cranes. Ports and docks often need to load ore, gravel, and other bulk goods, so need to grab bucket cranes. Chemical dangerous places often need to carry flammable and explosive materials, so need explosion proof cranes.

So, we provide customized cranes according to the special needs of our customers. Custom crane solutions offer many benefits in a variety of applications：
