✔️ How Crane Tower Functions
As mentioned before, there are different types of tower cranes, but in general, their operation is the same despite certain features.
These features include load capacity, forward and backward load maneuvering power (chariot), rotational maneuvering power, overall device movement power, and elevation power.
ما
The load capacity of tower cranes can be different according to their structure. Carrying out the loading operation in this device is done by an electric motor. What plays a role in directing the load using this device are the microswitches.
In addition to the driver who is in charge of the steering wheel, the load is controlled by a series of micro switches. The task of microswitches is to control in order to maintain the safety of the device by not moving devices beyond the limit defined for the device.
✔️ maneuvering power and moving forward and backward
In the previous part, we mentioned the explanation about the carrying capacity of the device. In addition to the loading power of the device, tower cranes also have the ability to move the load forward and backward, which is also known as a chariot.
✔️ Power of circular motion
✔️ Crane Tower Motor Power
Tower cranes have the ability to move on the ground and the ability to transfer the device from one point to another. Moving this device on the ground is done by placing them on rails or using special chains. What is used in both methods are electric snow motors and gearboxes.
✔️ Crane tower height power
The power of heightening in the tower Cranes are one of the features of this machine. At first, it is necessary to point out that the tower crane is installed by a mobile crane.
What contributes to the power of this device is the power of assembling the device and the use of additional parts or section. Maintaining safety points in increasing the height of this device is one of the important points that should be paid special attention to.
For example, in raising the height of tower cranes beyond the standard, the device must be supported by a special belt called anchorage frame. To be connected and harnessed to the points of the desired building or structure. Doing this requires special skill and the smallest mistake can be dangerous.
✔️ Tips on Crane Tower Installation
As mentioned before, the installation and measurement of tower cranes require great precision and many factors are involved in doing this work. Are. Among the factors that influence the installation of tower cranes include such things as the type of load, considering the desired space for beam and chamber operations, the size and shape of the load, the location of the load, considering the possibility of changing the location for the desired load. Pay attention to the height in order to raise the load and the weight of the load.
✔️ Safety Tips on Crane Tower
Concentration, mutual cooperation and special attention to instructions. Climbing operation should be done with professional instructions. The power supply and hydraulic system must be used by a certain person. The presence of workers in high places must comply with the process of safe operation in high places. Steel wire rope, retaining rings, connection bolts, pins and other components should be checked and cracked parts replaced in time. The lubrication condition of gears, rotating parts, etc. should be checked regularly. Make sure the cable is insulated, because the function of the power switch is sensitive. When several tower cranes are working at the site, the height difference of the tower cranes must be in accordance with the instructions and not less than the specified value. Check the positioning pin and do not turn the tower crane head when the mast level is rising. It is forbidden to raise the mast at night. After raising the mast, check that the power is off. The left and right rudders should be returned to the middle position. The screws must be tight in every part. There must be suitable facilities on the ground for the tower crane. Only relevant workers are allowed to stay at the installation site. Operation is not allowed when the wind is stronger than a certain limit. In order to prevent slipping, falling and possible accidents, the equipment of the anchor should be checked regularly. Tower crane cabin must be equipped with fire fighting equipment.
✔️ Crane Tower Maintenance
To ensure safe and economical operation for a long time, the tower crane must be properly maintained and lubricated.
Keep the crane clean regularly.
Check the amount of oil in the speed reducer. Fill the oil in time.
Check the wire ropes for looseness, breakage or fraying in different positions. Replace defective cords as directed.
Check the brakes for performance to ensure they are responsive to size.
Check safety equipment.
Check the screw connections. Re-tighten the screws when they have been used for a certain period of time.
Check the slack in the steel ropes. If it is loose, tighten them.
Check the metal ropes, pulleys and hooks of the elevator according to the instructions.
Check the broken bars, grid bars and welds of the metal structure. Pay special attention to the parts where the colors peel off. Quickly trace the cause and solve the problem in time.
Check the bolts and nuts of the tower fasteners. To install the tower parts, you need to tighten each screw with two nuts.
Removal of rust and painting of the entire tower crane and its metal mechanisms should be done after the completion of each project.
