Crane transportation and precautions

The transportation of overhead cranes is a complex task that requires special attention to safety and stability. Here are some tips and considerations:

A detailed transportation plan needs to be made before transportation, including the size, weight, transportation route, transportation means, etc. of the crane. During transportation, pay close attention to weather conditions, especially rainy weather, to avoid moisture or damage to the crane.

Before shipping, the crane needs to be thoroughly inspected to ensure that all components are in good condition. Please handle with care during loading and unloading to prevent collision and damage.

Place sleepers or wooden boards on the contact surface between the truck and the crane to prevent slipping and leveling.

During transportation, the crane needs to be fixed to the transportation vehicle with steel wire ropes of sufficient specifications to ensure its stability. During transportation, an appropriate distance must be maintained between the crane and the transportation vehicle to avoid collision and damage. Try not to use slings. If possible, place a one-centimeter rubber sheet or semicircular steel plate as an edge between the contact surface of the wire rope and the crane to prevent the wire rope from being cut due to friction.

It is necessary to plan the driving route in advance to avoid road sections that the crane transport vehicle cannot pass. Things that need to be focused on include: vehicle height, width, length, longest wheelbase when empty, and turning radius after heavy load.

Eye-catching safety warning lights and signs should be hung on the rear of transport vehicles.

During the loading and unloading process, professional lifting equipment is required to ensure the safety and stability of the crane. During loading and unloading, correct operating procedures need to be followed to avoid accidents.

During transportation, pay close attention to the status of the crane, especially during long-distance transportation. If any problems are discovered, immediate action is required to repair or replace them.
