Structural classification and performance characteristics of fixed cranes

Feb 18,2025

Fixed cranes are heavy-duty lifting equipment widely used in factories, warehouses, ports, construction sites, and other locations.

Fixed cranes are heavy-duty lifting equipment widely used in factories, warehouses, ports, construction sites, and other locations. Their structural classifications and performance characteristics are as follows:

Fixed cranes can be primarily classified into the following categories based on their structure:

1. Fixed tower cranes, which feature a boom mounted at the top of a vertical tower and a rotating boom design. This type of crane utilizes a spiral structure machined by a lathe, allowing the inner mast sections to extend and retract within the outer mast sections. This enables the crane to raise its height by two floors in a single operation, making it highly suitable for the requirements of construction and civil engineering projects.

2. Deck cranes, typically mounted on ship decks, are rotating boom cranes used for loading and unloading cargo. These cranes are designed and manufactured to reduce ship turnaround times and minimize cargo handling time.

3. Cantilever cranes, where the lifting device is suspended at the end of the boom or mounted on a crane trolley that can move along the cantilever, with the cantilever unable to tilt. Cantilever cranes can be further classified into column-mounted cantilever cranes and wall-mounted cranes.

The performance characteristics of fixed cranes are primarily reflected in: high stability and load-bearing capacity, capable of withstanding heavy loads, suitable for heavy-duty cargo lifting operations; a wide operational range, with boom length and height designed according to actual needs to meet requirements of different operational environments; simple operation and high accuracy. Modern fixed cranes often utilize computer control technology to achieve precise positioning and stable lifting operations; design considerations prioritize durability for long-term use, with key components made from wear-resistant materials to reduce maintenance costs.

In summary, fixed cranes are an indispensable piece of equipment in modern industrial production.
