What are the advantages of a single beam crane? There are many types of cranes on the market now, and the selection of suitable cranes is mainly based on their working needs and environment. The quality of single beam cranes can be judged comprehensively based on their sound, smooth operation, and whether the reducer leaks oil. Below, the editor from Shandong single beam crane manufacturer will give you a detailed introduction to the relevant advantages and knowledge of single beam cranes!

1. What is a single beam crane:

Traditionally known as single beam electric hoist and LD type electric single beam crane, it has one main beam, two end beams, and one electric hoist, with six movements that can run up and down, left and right, and forward and backward. All six directions rely on their respective motor drive mechanisms, among which the electric hoist has a large motor and is a standalone wire rope electric hoist with a general voltage of 380V.

Single beam cranes are divided into two types: bridge type single beam cranes and gantry type single beam cranes. Bridge type single beam cranes are mostly used in factories and are generally installed on the upper end of cow leg steel structures, mainly weighing less than 20 tons. The general usage level does not exceed A5 level and belongs to the category of lifting machinery that cannot be used frequently and with high strength. They are generally used in grinding workshops, water plant pump heads, warehouses, loading and unloading of goods, and those that cannot be reached by manpower. They are relatively convenient to use and have a relatively favorable price. As long as the factory has installation conditions, they are almost available now and are a practical lifting equipment.

Most gantry single beam cranes are located outside the factory building, and can be used as long as the tracks are laid on both sides of the ground and powered on. The main users of large tonnage gantry cranes are steel mills, pole factories, shipyards, automobile factories, etc. Small tonnage single beam crane users are available in brick factories, scrap stations, floor factories, etc.

2. The advantages of a single beam crane include:

(1) Price discount: Due to its simple structure with only three operating mechanisms: large vehicle operating mechanism, small vehicle operating mechanism, and lifting operating mechanism. In addition, with the continuous upgrading of electrical component design, its stability performance has become stronger, so the price is also very favorable.

(2) Stable performance: Nowadays, high configuration variable frequency single beam cranes are the new favorite in the market. They have smooth operation, overall flexibility, low failure rate, easy maintenance, energy saving, and operation.

(3) Strong adaptability to the environment: As long as the factory can install cow legs, a single beam crane can be installed, and even drilling holes in the roof beams under the eaves can install a single beam crane. Some spaces are narrow and have very high dust, making installation difficult. Only by installing a single beam crane can it be used. A few centimeters of dust fell just after installation, but such an environment still did not affect our single beam crane.
