Selection of Crane Type

Double Girder overhead crane

The type of crane should be selected in consideration of the following points:

• Structure span, height, component weight and hoisting engineering quantity;
• Construction site conditions;
• The current lifting equipment status of the enterprise and the region;
• Duration requirements;
• Construction cost requirements.

Selection of crane model

Gantry Crane 

The principle of selecting the crane is:

The three operating parameters of the selected crane, namely the lifting capacity, the lifting height and the span, must meet the structural lifting requirements. At present, the crane uses a horizontal arm trolley luffing device, so it is easy to determine the crane model according to the above three operating parameters and the lifting performance of various cranes.
