Precautions for Operating European Type Gantry Crane

Dec 06, 2023

1. Before using SEVENCRANE European type gantry crane for work, operators must be familiar with the performance of the crane. For example, understanding its maximum load capacity, understanding how to use it, how to maintain it, etc. In addition, one should also have some knowledge of bundling and hanging.

2. Before operation, it is necessary to strictly check whether various equipment, tools, and locks are in good condition. If there are cracks or broken wires, they must be replaced in a timely manner. Cannot continue to use reluctantly to avoid safety hazards.

3. Before using industrial European type gantry crane, obstacles on the crane should be removed first. Operators should search for suitable work locations and ensure that no one stands below during the operation. At the same time, when lifting heavy objects, it is strictly prohibited for personnel to stand or walk below. And heavy objects cannot be hung in the air for a long time.

4. When selecting steel wire buckles, it is important to choose the appropriate length. When using multiple steel wire ropes for lifting, the included angle should not exceed 60 degrees. When the lifted object has oil stains, the oil stains at the bundling area should be cleaned thoroughly to prevent sliding. If the edges are sharp, a soft object should be used as a cushion to prevent cutting the steel wire rope or chain, which may ultimately lead to safety accidents.

5. When carrying out lifting operations, it is strictly prohibited to directly correct the steel wire buckle that has been tightened by the heavy object by hand. If any looseness is found in the bundling or abnormal noise is heard from the lifting machinery, the vehicle should be stopped immediately for inspection. Only after confirming safety of the heavy duty european type gantry crane supplier can the lifting continue. When flipping large objects, the sleepers should be placed in advance, and the operator should stand in the opposite direction of the weight tilting. It is strictly prohibited to stand in the direction facing the tilting surface.

6. When carrying out lifting operations, a suitable CE approved European type gantry crane factory should be selected based on the weight, shape, size, and structure of the lifted object. When lifting, the operator should closely cooperate and accurately issue various command signals.
