Gantry Cranes
Gantry Cranes suitable for open field use can be produced with single or double platform. There are also examples without platform. Areas where this type of construction machinery is used; It is suitable for industrial facilities as well as the iron and steel sector. In addition to mines, work machines are required for the transport of materials extracted in mines. Gantry cranes also offer solutions in these areas.
Gantry cranes are used in many working areas from manufacturing to storage and shipment during the transfer of heavy loads. The working principles of these work machines are sufficient to meet the required workforce.
Working Principles of Gantry Cranes
Gantry cranes are among the construction machines that can be used in open areas as well as in closed areas. This type of heavy construction machinery has gantry legs on the bridge girders. The feature of the gantry legs is that they are located on the bridge executive group and have mobility here.
The gantry legs on the walkway fixed to the ground by means of the bridge executive group are mobile systems. Double girder gantry cranes or single girder travelling bridge cranes are preferred according to the required working area.
Cranes are work machines that are used when it is necessary to move heavy loads and have this capacity. The mobility of cranes is due to the fact that they consist of a whole of materials integrated with each other.
The mobility of gantry cranes is on rails. These machines, which produce solutions for transporting high tonnage loads, move on rails fixed to the ground. Another feature of gantry cranes is that they move on 4 legs. Gantry cranes have beam systems, travelling heads and articulated fixed legs. Along with the electrical systems of these work machines, brake systems are among the working principles. Gantry cranes that can transfer loads with the lifting mechanism move on rails or bridge walkways during this process.
In addition to these systems, wind warning sensors are also included in gantry cranes. In addition, its operation is supported by light system, siren system and monitoring system. Gantry cranes, which can operate with remote control, also have protection so that their exterior areas are not affected by rain. When gantry cranes are manufactured, they are designed in accordance with corrosion resistance. Depending on the type of crane to be preferred, these features may vary.
Gantry cranes may vary in lifting distance as well as speed capability. These work machines, which can be preferred according to the sector needed, have the ability to work in many areas. Gantry cranes, which can be designed to be unaffected by environmental conditions, attract attention with their durability in extreme hot or cold weather.
