How to Save Fuel with Automotive Cranes

Howo 30Ton Knuckle Boom Crane

Fuel efficiency is a crucial consideration for operating automotive cranes. By optimizing engine performance and adopting best practices, fuel consumption can be significantly reduced. One effective strategy involves increasing the engine’s compression ratio to its standard value. For diesel engines, the typical compression ratio ranges between 16:1 and 22:1. Raising the compression ratio enhances the […]

Seven Key Elements for the Use and Maintenance of Tires on Lifting Machinery

Shacman 25 Ton Knuckle Boom Garabia

I. Reasonable Matching The tires at the front and rear, left and right of the machinery must be reasonably matched. The tires assembled on the same machinery should ensure the same brand, specification, structure, tread pattern, and load. Radial tires and bias-ply tires cannot be mixed; tires with different rim diameters, widths, or different cross-sectional […]

Specifications for the Lifting Capacity of Tower Cranes

Dongfeng Liuqi 12 Ton Knuckle Boom Garabia

The lifting capacity of a tower crane refers to the weight that its hook can safely lift. This capacity includes the weight of the slings, lifting devices, and containers. The lifting capacity varies with the crane’s working radius. Therefore, each crane is equipped with a unique lifting capacity chart corresponding to its operating radius, commonly […]

I. Importance of Moment Limiters in Crane Safety Lifting equipment is a type of machinery with relatively high risks at construction sites. Once an accident occurs, it often leads to severe consequences with multiple casualties. Therefore, the safety issues of lifting equipment have always been emphasized by relevant departments. The moment limiter is one of […]

Several Common Methods for Electrical Fault Maintenance of Bridge Cranes

Howo 30Ton Knuckle Boom Crane

I. Introduction to Bridge Crane Electrical Control and Maintenance Importance In the current field of lifting and hoisting, the bridge cranes used mostly adopt contact-controlled AC contactors for electrical control. Although this control method appears relatively old-fashioned in the current industrial electrical automation control field, due to its strong adaptability to harsh environments, the excellent […]

Torque Calculation and Precautions for Servo Reducers

Shacman 20Ton Knuckle Boom Crane

I. Importance of Torque Calculation Significance for Reducer LifeTorque calculation is of utmost importance when it comes to the lifespan of a reducer. The maximum torque value during acceleration (TP) needs to be carefully considered to ensure that it does not exceed the maximum load torque of the reducer. If the torque exceeds the rated […]

Working Principle and Classification Applications of Articulated Boom Lifts

Shacman 35 Ton Knuckle Boom Garabia

I. Working Principle The hydraulic oil is pressurized by a vane pump and then passes through a filter, a flameproof electromagnetic reversing valve, a throttle valve, a pilot-operated check valve, and a balance valve to enter the lower end of the hydraulic cylinder. This causes the piston of the hydraulic cylinder to move upward, thereby […]

Ten Commonly Used Lifting Methods
