Monorail crane, also known as KBK monorail crane or monorail suspension crane, is a light and small material handling equipment that is widely used in various indoor and outdoor places, such as workshops, warehouses, logistics centers, etc. It plays an important role in modern industry with its simple structure, convenient installation, stable operation, safety and reliability, and high cost performance.
Monorail crane is mainly composed of three parts: track, lifting trolley and electrical system. Tracks are divided into straight tracks and curved tracks, which can be installed on the top of a building or on the ground. The lifting trolley runs along the track and has two modes: autonomous operation and remote control operation. It can lift and transport materials according to the preset path or remote control instructions. The electrical system includes power equipment, controllers, cables, etc., which provide power and control signals for the crane.
The hoisting mechanism of a monorail crane is its core component. It is usually composed of an electric hoist, a wire rope, a pulley block, etc., and is driven by electricity to lift goods. In addition, monorail cranes are also equipped with a variety of protection devices, such as limit switches, overload protection, leakage protection, etc., to ensure the safety of equipment and personnel.
When selecting a monorail crane for hoisting, the following factors need to be considered:
Lifting capacity:
● Lifting weight is one of the most important parameters for monorail crane selection. The rated lifting weight and maximum load capacity of the required equipment should be determined based on the actual working site and load conditions.
● The rated lifting weight refers to the maximum lifting capacity of the equipment during long-term normal operation, while the maximum load refers to the maximum load that the equipment can bear within a certain period of time, while ensuring its safe operation.
Lifting height and span:
● Lifting height refers to the distance from the natural height of the hook to the maximum ceiling, which directly affects the use range and work efficiency of the equipment.
● The span refers to the distance spanned by the monorail crane, which needs to be determined according to the specific workplace and operation needs. For longer monorail cranes, the span and cost are usually directly proportional.
Working environment:
● The working environment includes the effects of temperature, humidity, corrosive gases and other factors on materials and equipment, as well as electromagnetic interference and other factors that may affect the safety of electrical equipment.
● When selecting a monorail crane, you need to consider whether it is suitable for the specific working environment and take appropriate protective measures.
Equipment type and specifications:
● Select the appropriate monorail crane type (such as self-standing, suspended, etc.) and specifications according to actual needs.
● Check the equipment specification parameter table to ensure that each parameter meets the actual conditions of the workplace and lifting requirements.
Manufacturer and brand:
● Choose manufacturers and brands with good reputation and experience to ensure the quality of the equipment and after-sales service.
● Contact the equipment manufacturer to verify that the parameters are consistent with the actual conditions of the workplace and seek advice on selection and design.
Safety performance and operational convenience:
● Evaluate the safety performance of the monorail crane, including the integrity and reliability of its protective devices.
● Consider operational convenience, such as the convenience and intelligence level of remote control operation functions.
