Those cranes that, in addition to having a movable arm for lifting, also have a platform at the back, are called platform cranes. Unlike arm cranes, in addition to carrying the object or things, they can move it to another place or unload it. In fact, they have a mast at the rear. The main advantage of these cranes is cost-effectiveness and time saving. Because there is no need to use two cranes together.
Various components of floor cranes
Boom
That part of the crane that shows its main ability and performance when lifting the load is called boom. Booms in different cranes, such as jib cranes and other cranes, are of different lengths, but in floor cranes, the booms are generally 7 meters, 10 meters, and 13 meters. Before the loading operation, it is better to be careful about the size of the canvas needed so that no problem occurs during the project.
Winch
Winches are devices which are installed in the structure of cranes to perform traction. Floor cranes themselves are divided into two groups with winch and without winch. Now you have to choose any of them depending on the type, quantity and weight. Jacks Generally, all floor cranes and overhead cranes have jacks. But the jack used in the floor crane is a hydraulic type. The role of jacks in cranes is actually to maintain the safety of cranes and the car itself during the transportation and handling of loads. Towing wire and hooks Hooks and towing wire They are the main parts of cranes and for this reason they should be given more importance. Because if these two parts have problems, the safety of the cranes will be jeopardized.
Various types of floor cranes
Three-ton floor crane
As its name suggests, this type of crane has the ability to carry and move about 3,000 kg of cargo, and if it carries cargo or If the load exceeds the specified capacity, there will definitely be a problem for the device during operation.
5 ton floor crane
Another type of floor crane This is a 5-ton crane. Basically, this type of crane is used for objects and objects weighing up to 5000 kg. They put the objects on their soles and carry them to the designated destination. Overhead cranes generally move horizontally and have a much higher capacity than floor cranes. But many of them have a vertical chassis, and through the same vertical chassis, they will allow users to move objects vertically.
7 ton floor crane br>This type of crane is one of the most standard and suitable types of floor cranes that can easily move up to 7,000 kg of load.
10 and 15 ton floor cranes
Other floor cranes include 10 and 15 ton cranes. Due to their proper capacity and principles, they move loads of 1,000 kg and 15,000 kg without disrupting the project. Basically, 15-ton overhead cranes because they have a high load tonnage and give a certain speed to your operations and projects.
Important points in the use and selection of floor cranes
Floor cranes have specific sizes and dimensions, so you must choose them according to the amount of load and proper performance. You should also choose the boom and crane arms according to your needs. Because floor cranes have a telescopic boom, basket or cabin, hook, etc.
