How Does the Outdoor Gantry Crane Resist the Bad Weather

When the outdoor gantry crane encounters strong wind or other bad weather, it will greatly affect the construction process of the equipment. Here are a few tricks to deal with.


 
Gantry crane braking device: When the gantry crane is not used, open the braking device, and when the strong wind blows, it can resist a certain wind force. The driver of the gantry crane should maintain its braking performance frequently and not let it fail. Equipped with anti-skid pads, when bad weather comes, put anti-skid pads next to the wheel to prevent it from rocking back and forth and off-track.
 
Windproof accessories: snap rings, short bars, wire ropes, etc. are all good methods. The snap ring is connected to the ground, and the lever acts as a support to prevent the gantry crane from falling down.
 
After the gantry crane is stopped, turn off the power of some important components, such as electric hoists, motors, etc., to prevent rainwater from entering, causing the equipment to be oxidized and corroded, and slowly affecting the performance of the gantry crane.
 
When the gantry crane encounters a typhoon, the shaking will be more severe. At this time, some other methods must be used to strengthen its stability. Fix it in four directions with ropes, after tension, open the rail clamp, cut off the power supply, and then place several heavy stone piers around the wheel. Through these operations, the gantry crane can avoid being blown down by strong winds.
