Overhead travelling crane operating instructions

Introduction to bridge crane:

A bridge crane is a type of lifting equipment commonly used in industry and construction. It adopts a bridge structure that spans the work area, and drives the lifting machinery through an electric motor to realize the lifting, transportation and placement of objects. A bridge crane usually consists of two main parts: the bridge frame and the lifting mechanism. The bridge spans the work area and supports the movement and operation of the lifting machinery. Lifting machinery includes the crane body, crane beam, crane hook and other ancillary equipment.

First, the design and manufacture of overhead cranes need to take into account the characteristics and needs of the work site. Bridge cranes can be customized according to the width and height of the work area to suit different working environments. Secondly, bridge cranes have high load-bearing capacity and stability. The bridge structure provides strong support and stability, allowing the crane to carry heavy objects while maintaining balance and precise operation.

Operation of overhead crane:

The operation of overhead cranes requires specialized training and qualifications. The operator must master the crane’s control system and understand the functions of various operating buttons and control levers. During operation, operators need to ensure the smooth movement and precise positioning of the lifting machinery to ensure safe and efficient lifting operations. In addition, operators should be familiar with safe operating procedures for cranes, including using safety ropes, limiting loading capacity, and following work instructions.

Then, special attention needs to be paid to the stability of the load when operating the crane. During lifting and transportation, operators should avoid rapid changes in movement to avoid swinging and instability of the load. In addition, operators should also pay attention to the safety factors of the surrounding environment, such as avoiding collisions with other equipment, personnel or obstacles, and ensuring smooth flow and safety of the working area.

Things to note when using bridge cranes:

There are some important considerations to keep in mind when using an overhead crane. First of all, crane maintenance and upkeep is crucial. Regularly inspect and repair critical crane components and systems to ensure proper operation and safety. Secondly, the use of cranes must comply with relevant safety regulations and standards. Operators should understand and follow local safety regulations, use personal protective equipment, and participate in necessary training and safety awareness activities.

In addition, the weight and size of the load need to be considered when using a crane. Before carrying out lifting operations, the weight and size of the load should be carefully evaluated to ensure that the crane has sufficient carrying capacity and space. In addition, the operating sequence and path of the crane should be reasonably arranged to improve operating efficiency and safety.

Finally, regular inspection and maintenance of the crane’s electrical system and mechanical components is necessary. Ensure the proper operation of the electrical system, such as checking that cables, power supplies and control system connections are secure. At the same time, keep mechanical parts lubricated and clean, and replace worn parts in a timely manner to extend the service life of the crane and ensure its safety.
