The installation of an overhead bridge crane is a complex and highly specialized process. From site survey to assembly and then to installation, it cannot be completed all at once. A detailed plan needs to be formulated. Now let's take a look at "How to Build an Overhead Bridge Crane".
Phase 1: Design Phase
1.Confirm the basic parameters
This is a crucial stage. First, you need to make a clear plan by yourself, clearly defining your requirements, so that you can quickly finalize the overhead bridge crane you want to choose.
①Determine how many tons of overhead crane you need, that is, the maximum weight of the goods to be lifted.
②How wide is your factory or how wide is your working area.
③How high is your factory and how high is the area that the hook can reach.
④How often do you use the overhead crane on average and is the frequency frequent.
⑤Does your factory environment have special materials and what is the temperature of the area where you live.
2. Conceptual and Detailed Design
① Determine what type of overhead bridge cranes you want. Bridge cranes are classified as single-girder or double-girder. Lighter ones use single-girder, while heavier ones use double-girder.
② Based on the parameters you provide, the engineers will conduct a detailed analysis and design to determine the main components such as the main beam, end beam, and electric hoist that are required.
③ Select internal components, such as the brand of the engine and the reducer, etc. We accept the customized requirements of our clients.
Phase 2: Production and Manufacturing Process
After the design is completed, the production process begins. During this stage, the overhead crane needs to be manufactured strictly according to the drawings.
Firstly, the steel required for the main beam and end beam needs to be cut, welded and painted. Secondly, after the manufacturing is completed, the assembly process begins. The manufactured components need to be assembled and subjected to load-bearing operation tests. Finally, the product needs to be certified. In each crane of Kinocranes, all the certifications of international standards are met.
Phase 3: Installation and Commissioning
This phase brings the crane to life at your facility.
1. Clean the site: Clean or renovate the workshop where the overhead crane is to be installed. Ensure that the workshop has load-bearing beams or walls and a runway for the crane to be installed.
2. Installation phase: After all the components of the crane are delivered to your factory area, the disassembly and installation process begins. We can provide remote guidance or send engineers to the site to assist with the installation of the Bridge Crane.
3. Power connection and testing: After connecting the power supply for the crane, conduct power-on testing. The lifting test items include three:
① No-load test: The machine operates without lifting any load.
② Full-load test: Conduct the lifting startup test within the specified tonnage range of the crane.
③ Overload test: It is recommended to conduct a 125% load test to ensure the performance of the crane.
④ Employee training: We will leave the user manual and demonstrate how to use the crane. And if any problems arise during subsequent operations, please feel free to contact us at any time.
Why Partner with a Professional Overhead Crane Manufacturer?
If you want to build and install the crane by yourself, it is extremely difficult and risky to do so on your own. Therefore, you need to find a manufacturer like Kinocranes that has rich experience. Kinocranes can offer:
1. One-stop solution. We can provide a complete set of procedures. Even if you don't need us to install it in the past, we can also provide guidance services. As long as it is related to the crane, there is nothing we don't know.
2. High safety and low cost. The crane designed by professional engineers has higher safety. Because we have considered all aspects, and the high-quality design and manufacturing will increase the lifespan of the crane and reduce cost investment.
3. Support personalized customization services. We can provide all customization services. From small details like color to large ones like shape, tonnage and other non-standard products customization, to meet all your needs.
Conclusion
The construction of an overhead bridge crane cannot afford any negligence. Every step must strictly follow the standard procedures. Any cutting corners in any part of the process would be an extreme disregard for the safety of the operators' lives. Therefore, choosing a manufacturer with excellent technology and strong sense of responsibility is the primary prerequisite for ensuring the safety and reliability of the overhead bridge crane.I believe that Kinocranes is an ideal partner. The overhead bridge cranes produced by Kinocranes are safe and durable.With our extensive experience and one-stop service, we turn your project requirements into a reliable reality.
