Why is the Ambient Temperature important for overhead crane?

As you can see on our website, every overhead crane introduction includes Ambient Temperature, usually is -20℃－40℃. Actually, ambient temperature affects your crane safety a lot. People are supposed to pay more attention on it. Following content will introduce ambient to you in detail.

What is the Crane Ambient Temperature?

It means the average temperature where your overhead crane works. For most bridge crane, acceptable ambient temperature is between -20℃ and 40℃. As for some specially-purpose overhead crane, like ladle overhead crane, the maximize ambient temperature is -10℃, and the minimize ambient temperature is 50℃. Nowadays, overhead crane has been a kind of indispensable lifting equipement for material handling. You can see bridge crane in various factories, warehouses, workshops and so on. The operation of overhead crane matters to a lot of people's safety. Therefore, we must figure out a question: what factors affect the ambient temperature of the crane?

Nowadays, overhead crane has been a kind of indispensable lifting equipement for material handling. You can see bridge crane in various factories, warehouses, workshops and so on. The operation of overhead crane matters to a lot of people's safety. Therefore, we must figure out a question: what factors affect the ambient temperature of the crane?

1. When the crane is installed, the radian should be controlled according to the planning requirements. The height of the top of the rail on both sides of the longitudinal running rail of the bridge erecting equipment shall be horizontally balanced.
2. The horizontal movement trajectory of the front and rear outriggers should be kept level and the distance should be strictly controlled. The four tracks are parallel.
3. The inappropriate operation of the overload lifting method has a greater impact on the deformation of the main beam.
4. Improper repair of bridge gas cutting and improper welding will cause serious deflection of the main girder. Be careful when changing rails.
5. The box girder is a welded structure. Due to the influence of internal stress, the metal is locally heated during the welding process to form expansion and contraction of the metal, resulting in residual force.
6. Improper manufacturing process will also produce greater internal stress. For example, some main beam webs are not cut accor. During the overhead crane operation, the internal stress can raise the ambient temperature.
