Steel Frame Overhead Traveling Crane--Cranes Works with Steel Frame

2023-09-14 17:30:21

Overhead traveling cranes play a crucial role in various industries, including construction and manufacturing. These cranes are indispensable for lifting and moving heavy loads, making them essential for businesses that require efficient heavy lifting solutions. In some factories and warehouses, steel frames serve as a critical component of overhead cranes, providing the necessary strength, stability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness for safe and efficient operation. When selecting an overhead crane, it is vital to evaluate the quality of the steel structure supporting it, as this greatly affects its performance and longevity.

Important components if crane steel structures

Primary components: steel columns, steel beams, wind-resistant columns, runway beams.
  1. Steel columns: H-shaped steel column of equal section can be applied when the horizontal span of the facility does not exceed 15m and the column height does not exceed 6m. Otherwise, the variable section should be used.
  2. Steel beams: generally C-shaped or H-shaped steel is used. We can ensure the main materials have top quality
  3. Wind-resistant column: it is a structural component at the gable, mainly used to transmit the wind load.
  4. Runway beams: this component is used to support the rail track onto which the crane runs. It is designed according to your lifting requirements.

Why need a steel frame for crane daily work

Overhead cranes are commonly used in industrial and manufacturing settings to lift and move heavy equipment and materials. These cranes are designed to be efficient and reliable, but their performance is heavily dependent on the quality of the steel structure that supports them.
Steel structures provide a stable and durable foundation for overhead cranes to operate on. They ensure that the crane can move smoothly and safely, without any risk of tipping or collapsing. The steel frame also supports the weight of the crane itself, as well as the loads that it lifts and moves.

steel structure and overhead crane

If you require multiple overhead crane systems installing inside your facility, the crane supporting steel structures will be needed, such as runway beams and supporting columns. The frame structure can be designed to be single span, double span or multi span. The overall dimension depends on your requirements.

When installing a bridge crane inside the building, you should specify the desired crane specifications first, such as the rated load capacity, lifting height, span, work duty etc. We supply a variety of overhead bridge cranes to suit lifting requirements, ranging from small capacity light duty overhead cranes to large capacity heavy duty cranes .

Advantages of using a crane with steel structures

  1. Strength and Durability--Steel is one of the strongest and most durable materials available, making it ideal for supporting heavy loads. Steel frames can withstand the weight and stress of overhead cranes, ensuring that they operate safely and efficiently for many years.
  2. Stability--Overhead cranes require a stable foundation to operate on. Steel frames provide this stability, ensuring that the crane can move smoothly and without any risk of tipping over. This is especially important when lifting heavy loads, as any instability could result in serious accidents or injuries.
  3. Flexibility--Steel structures can be designed and fabricated to meet the specific needs of each overhead crane. This allows for greater flexibility in crane design, as well as more efficient use of space in the manufacturing or industrial facility.
  4. Cost-Effective--Steel structures are cost-effective, particularly when compared to other materials such as concrete or wood. They are also relatively easy to install and maintain, which further reduces costs over the life of the crane.

Main factors affect crane steel structure price

  1. Length and height of the steel structure: The crane steel structure with larger size will need more steel materials, and then you will cost more.
  2. The span: The span of the metal building is related to the span of your overhead crane. Larger span will consume more materials.
  3. Insulation: Whether the roofs and walls need insulation. Our company can provide the roofs with thermal insulation, and the clients should pay more.
  4. Transportation expenses: Recently, the transport cost is always changed, our crane steel structure cost will change with the delivery expenses

Steel structures for workplaces and overhead travelling cranes

If an overhead crane is required to be installed inside the building, there are a few things you need to consider in the design of a steel frame workshop.

In order to determine the dimension of your workshop, you should first specify your desired crane specifications, such as rated load capacity, lifting height, span, lifting speed and hook coverage. Our overhead cranes can lift up to 100tons, and different configurations are available to make sure you end up with the right crane, like single girder, double girder, top running and under-hung system.
