New Overhead cranes , European advance crane design concepts , lightweight and modular design

European style advance cranes are just like the Demag overhead crane , with the features of light in weight, small in structure and low in energy consumption. The  European type new overhead cranes can realize the material handling operation in the direction of  forward and backward,  left and right, up and down  to realize the transportation of objects in three-dimensional space. It has a integrated planning concept and has the characteristics of small size, light weight and small wheel pressure. Compared with traditional overhead cranes, the limit interval from the hook to the wall is small, and the clearance height is small. The advanced cranes operate closer to the front and have a higher advance height, which actually increases the effective working space of the existing factory.

Because of the light weight and less wheel load pressure, the new factory or facility  can be planned with smaller and lower, dimensions or sizes which will lower the initial construction investment, as well as long-term heating, air conditioning and other maintenance costs. It may save considerable money. In recent years, the concept of European-style low headroom overhead cranes has been formulated in the profession field with the intention of distinguishing them from so-called domestic, Soviet (Soviet) and traditional style overhead cranes. Based on crane structures, the new overhead canes can be grouped into  bridge cranes, gantry cranes, jib cranes, flexible beam cranes, explosion-proof cranes and other industrial cranes, etc.

The new overhead crane is developed based on the European lightweight and modular design concept and manufacturing process, which makes the whole crane compact, stable, self-weight, low in height, energy-saving, and greatly reduces the user's crane construction cost. Reduce operating costs, improve the overall quality and working performance of the electric overhead  crane. The newly designed advanced cranes will become the mainstream of overhead travelling crane development and market demand. When the material is in the process of operation, due to the operation error of the movement direction, the rapid change of the movement direction, the sudden start or interruption of the European smart crane, and the acceleration or deceleration during the working process, the forward lifting spreader will be greatly increased.

To a large extent, the operating efficiency of the advance overhead crane is reduced. For European-style overhad travelling cranes, there is an urgent need to reduce the swinging time of the spreader and improve the operating efficiency for frequent loading and unloading of lifting equipment and transfers. The advance overhead cranes  is designed with anti-sway to effectively control the swinging.  In addition, the European-style cranes can be equipped with  frequency conversion technology to realize the micro-speed operation, and the micro-speed function can more accurately complete the load control, and convert the large movement of the joystick into slow and accurate load movement. This smart feature helps operators more precisely control loads and increases the safety of operations.

Advantages of European style newly designed overhead advanced c rane

The advance overhead crane has the following advantages:

  • Optimized European style advance crane design, light dead weight,
  • Small wheel load pressure, and compacted size, small volume 
  • Good lifting capacity, double lifting speed,
  • Frequency control of trolley and crane are provided.
  • Reliable, smooth and stable crane travelling and hoist travelling.

Features of  Yuantai European style overhead crane

The advantages of the new overhead crane design include light weight, compact structure, low noise, low energy consumption, smooth operation, and so on. The distance between the hook and the wall is less than that of the traditional Chinese eot crane, and the height of the gap is also less. Because of its light load and low wheel pressure characteristics, the European advance crane expands the effective workspace of existing equipment; the new workshop space can be designed to be smaller and more complete. In smaller factories, the need for initial construction investment  is lowered and it saves for long-term heating, air conditioning, and other maintenance costs. It will help you save a substantial amount of money. ,

Differences of European type new overhead crane design and traditional crane design

What are the difference between European style advance cranes and traditional designed overhead cranes?  In the following, the two types of overhead crane will be compared to show you the difference and advantages of European style ISO crane.  Let’s go through it in details.

So, what is the difference between European style advance cranes and general use bridge cranes in China ?

On  appearance:

  • European advance crane: Lightweight and beautiful in appearance, in line with modern industrial aesthetics, effective use of plant space, small limit distance from the hook to the walls on both sides, low clearance height, more flexible layout planning of the existing plant, and new plant can be designed smaller and more functional;
  • Traditional overhead crane in China: Rough, bulky, large vertical and horizontal limit dimensions, and small effective working area. Under the same plant structure, the space utilization rate is low.

Structural differences

The structural difference between the two types of overhead crane designs are also very obvious.

  • For example, the  end beam and the main beam of traditional bridge crane in China are integrated, so the beam structure is very heavy, and the structure is also relatively complicated, which is generally inconvenient for transportation.
  •  As for the European style ISO crane structure is much simpler. The main girder and the end girder are separated, and the transportation is also much more convenient,  and especially the on-site installation is much more convenient.

Main girder comparison

  • European-style advance crane: The main girder adopts a box-shaped girder structure, which has a reasonable structure and higher strength. The electric hoist is firmly combined with the lower flange of the main girder without hidden dangers, and the effective lifting height is increased, thereby improving the effective working space and having the largest headroom difference , up to 1.5 meters, the wheel pressure is reduced, and the rail bearing beam is reduced;
  • Traditional China overhead cranes: limited by the design of the electric  hoist, only the traditional lower I-beam structure can be used.-Traditional Chinese bridge cranes are generally composed of a variety of middle gauges and small partitions. The European-style new overhead crane designs have a lot of partial rails, and there are no small partitions or rail pressure plates, and they are welded with local rails. In terms of the difference between the two types of bridge crane designs , the structure of the Chinese style overhead crane is quite complicated, and at the same time, it uses a lot of materials, and the overall weight is very large.

Comparison on walking  platform design

  • The structure of the Chinese style overhead crane is very complicated, and at the same time, it uses a lot of materials and supports.
  • European-style cranes, the one like Demag crane do not need to be driven by carts, and there are not many overall support points. The walking platform is much narrower and lighter at the same time.

On the comparison of crane connection or assembly

  • European style advance cranes use good bolts to connect the end beams, which is a rigid connection. The new type overhead crane require higher precision control during production, otherwise it will easily appear that the four fulcrums cannot bear force at the same time
  • while the traditional Chinese overhead crane is a flexible connection with a pin shaft. The traditional general use overhead crane will not appear in the "three-legged" form.

Security level comparison:

  • The European-style crane has high protection level, fast heat dissipation and long service life. Fully enclosed design, no dust accumulation, frequency conversion speed regulation, safer to use.
  • The traditional single-speed crane has a large impact and shakes violently when lifting heavy objects. The deceleration structure is open and exposed to the air.

Contrast in terms of crane installation

  •  European-style advance crane: fully enclosed design, no dust, frequency conversion speed regulation, safer to use;
  • Traditional Chinese overhead cranes: The gear box has an open structure, exposed to the air, and easily attached to dust.

Comparison of operation and maintenance costs:

  • European-style advance crane: The whole electric crane system has low power, low power consumption, reliable quality, and low failure rate during correct use, which can minimize the loss caused by equipment failure and production, and also save equipment maintenance costs;
  • Traditional China bridge cranes: The overall power is high, the operating cost is high, and the power consumption is high. During the operation of the electric overhead crane, due to cost constraints, the life of the electric crane components is short, the failure rate is high, and it is easy to cause production shutdown losses and maintenance and replacement costs.

Wrap it up,

Differences of European type new overhead crane design and traditional crane design

Compared with traditional Chinese type of overhead cranes  in the above perspectives , European advance bridge cranes can bring you the following benefits:

1. Low headroom design, increased hook height in limited workshop space, and lower new facility construction investment

The dead zone of the hook (hook limit switch) is small, which increases plant efficiency and allows the limited space to be used as efficiently as possible. When compared to traditional Chinese overhead cranes, the lifting height of the new overhead crane design is higher due to the low headroom design and compact dimensions. If it is  selected to use prior to the design of the plant, the height of the plant can be appropriately reduced, which greatly reduces the initial investment in the plant's construction.

2. Smooth travelling, low noise, manufacturing environment friendly

Compared with the Chinese overhead crane, the energy consumption of advance overhead crane with the same lifting capacity, span, and working level can be reduced by more than 30% during operation, saving customers money and aligning with the national energy-saving and emission-reduction industrial policy.

3.Reliable performance, low failure rate, lower use and maintenance costs

Because European style iso cranes have light weight, high quality, high performance, and other characteristics, they will also provide customers with good solutions based on their actual needs. In comparison to Chinese cranes  with the same lifting weight, span, and working level Lifting equipment's energy consumption can be reduced by more than 30% while in operation, saving customers money and aligning with the national industrial policy of energy conservation and emission reduction.

4. Smart crane, intelligent features, multifunctional material handling solution

Intelligent monitors, electronic anti-sway, remote monitoring, and other options can be integrated into the new type of advance overhead  cranes to ensure equipment performance, monitoring, and maintenance. Simultaneously, the electric hoisting equipment provides reservations for a variety of functional interfaces, and customers can add various functions through the reserved interfaces based on their needs, so that working conditions can be met conveniently and quickly.

5.Widely applicable, suitable for a variety of industries

The European overhead crane is commonly used for material handling for various industrial sectors ,including but not limited to machinery, metallurgy, petroleum, petrochemical, ports, railways, civil aviation, electricity, food, paper, building materials, electronics, and other industries. The advance overhead cranes are also widely used in situations requiring precise material handling and precise assembly of large scale parts,etc.
