Overhead cane girder division and overhead crane girder connection

Overhead crane girder division and overhead crane girder connection. Due to the length of overhead crane girder and eot crane girder is too long to be transported, the crane girder is designed into 2 or 3 sections, which is called crane girder division and the crane girder has to be connected when installation. How to connect the overhead crane girder or eot crane? Check now.

Why has to the overhead crane girder be divided?

Crane girder transportation

Due to the crane girder is long and heavy, the transportation plan will be decided beforehand. As for the crane girder transportation, Dongqi Crane has the following solutions which will selected by the clients before crane manufacturing:

• Fabricate the crane girder at whole when the length of the crane is not so long.
• Fabricate the crane girders into two or three parts, when necessary, which can be assembled at the location.

Notice : Many clients will misunderstand the divided crane girders, actually crane girder division for transportation convenience is technically allowed and will not affect the performance of cranes. We have experience too many cases with divided crane girders, so please do not let this worry prevent you going forward.

Traffic rules of destination countries

As for overhead crane transport, the traffic rules of the destination countries should be considered. Since different countries have different traffic rules, therefore, it is better to confirm from the traffic department about the truck length limit before fabricating the crane girders;
In China, the longest truck is 17.5 m, which can transport more than 30 m length crane girders, several days ago, we just delivered a crane with 32 m length crane girder.

Cargo handling capacity of ports

Another notice is that, some ports also have limit of handling capacity of cargoes, maybe the port can’t handle more than 30 m length crane girders, so except to confirm the traffic limit, port information is also very important to get known.

How to connect the overhead crane girder?

How the overhead crane girder sections are divided and connected? The design of the crane girder sections is calculated by overhead crane engineers based on many theories and practices.
