The Role of Maintenance Cranes

Feb 20, 2024

Cranes are indispensable tools in construction and industrial production, and we can see them everywhere on construction sites. Cranes have the characteristics of large structure, complex mechanism, diverse lifting of heavy objects, and complex environment. So operators should understand the characteristics of crane accidents and the role of safety devices to ensure safe use.
The main function of a crane is to complete the displacement of heavy objects. It can reduce labor intensity and improve labor productivity. Cranes are an indispensable component of modern production. Some cranes can also perform special process operations during the production process, making the production process mechanized and automated.

Proper maintenance and upkeep of cranes can play the following roles:

  1. Ensure that the crane has good technical performance, ensure the reliability of various mechanisms, and improve management indicators such as utilization.
  2. Ensure that the crane has good operational performance. Strengthen the protection of structural components, maintain reliable connections, and ensure the normal operation and function of electro-hydraulic components. To avoid abnormal vibrations caused by mechanical and electrical factors and meet the requirements for normal use of cranes.
  3. Ensure the safe use of the crane.
  4. Complies with relevant national and departmental environmental protection standards.
  5. Reasonably and effectively extend the service life of the crane: By maintaining the crane, the repair interval of the crane or mechanism can be effectively extended, thereby extending the service life of the crane.
