Main Features
Structure : It consists of two parallel main beams, legs, end beams, lifting mechanism, walking mechanism, and electrical control system. The double beam design provides enhanced stability and load – carrying capacity compared to single beam cranes.
Lifting Capacity : The lifting capacity of this type of crane can range from 5 tons to 500 tons or even higher, depending on the specific model and configuration. This makes it suitable for handling extremely heavy loads such as large machinery, steel coils, concrete beams, and containers.
Span and Lifting Height : The span is typically between 5 meters and 30 meters, and the lifting height can be from 6 meters to 30 meters or more, providing ample working space for different operations.
Mobility and Flexibility : Equipped with rubber tyres, the crane can move freely around the workspace without being restricted to fixed tracks. This allows it to adapt to different working sites and layouts, improving work efficiency and utilization of space.
Control System : It can be operated through pendant control, remote control, or cabin control, offering multiple control options for different working conditions and operator preferences.
Advantages
High Lifting Capacity : The double beam structure enables it to lift much heavier loads than single beam cranes, making it ideal for heavy – duty lifting tasks in industries such as steel, construction, and shipping.
Stability : The two beams provide better stability during lifting and moving operations, reducing the risk of load sway and ensuring safer and more precise handling of heavy loads.
Versatility : It can be used in a wide range of applications, both indoors and outdoors, such as in container terminals, construction sites, steel plants, manufacturing facilities, and storage yards.
Efficient Use of Space : Rubber tyred gantry cranes can operate in relatively narrow spaces compared to rail – mounted cranes, making them suitable for sites with limited space.
Applications
Container Handling : In container terminals and intermodal yards, it is used to stack and transport shipping containers, providing flexibility and efficiency in container management.
Steel Industry : It is used for lifting and handling steel products such as steel pipes, coils, and plates in steel plants.
Construction Sites : On construction sites, it can lift and move heavy construction materials like steel beams, concrete panels, and prefabricated components, enhancing construction efficiency.
Manufacturing and Automotive Production : In manufacturing facilities, it plays a vital role in handling heavy machinery, molds, and components during production processes.
