Key Considerations When Purchasing an Industrial Overhead Crane
Purchasing the right industrial overhead crane can be a daunting task, given the wide range of options available and the many factors to consider. To help you make an informed decision, we’ll go over the key considerations you should keep in mind when purchasing an industrial crane for your business.
Load Capacity Requirements
The first and most crucial factor to consider when purchasing an industrial overhead crane is the load capacity. Determining the maximum weight your crane will need to lift is essential for selecting the correct crane size and type.
- Identify the heaviest load your operation will handle and add a safety margin to ensure the crane can handle unforeseen circumstances.
- Examine the types of loads you will be lifting. Are they uniform in shape, or are they irregular and heavy on one side? Some cranes are better suited for lifting specific types of loads.
Span and Lifting Height
The span and lifting height are other crucial aspects that can determine the functionality of your crane.
- Span refers to the distance between the crane’s supporting beams. It should match the width of the area you’re working in, allowing the crane to cover the full operational space.
- Lifting height is the maximum vertical distance the crane can lift a load. Consider the height of your building or workspace, as well as the clearance needed for the crane hook and load.
Choosing a crane with an adequate span and lifting height ensures that your crane can reach all parts of your facility and safely handle high loads.
Work Duty Classification
The work duty classification of a crane indicates how frequently the crane will be used, and for how long it will be under load. This classification can be critical when determining the durability and longevity of the crane.
Work duties are usually classified into categories ranging from light duty (A1-A3) to heavy duty overhead crane (A7-A8). Here’s a breakdown:
- Light Duty (A1-A3): Suitable for occasional lifting tasks in less demanding environments.
- Medium Duty (A4-A5): Appropriate for operations that involve moderate lifting frequency and load sizes.
- Heavy Duty (A6-A8): Designed for continuous or high-demand operations, such as those in steel mills, heavy manufacturing plants, or ports.
It’s essential to match the crane’s duty classification with the intensity of your operations to avoid premature wear and ensure the crane’s performance and safety.
Safety Features
Safety is always a top priority when selecting an industrial overhead crane. Several safety features should be considered to minimize risks and ensure smooth operations:
- Anti-collision system: To avoid accidents when two cranes are operating in the same space.
- Overload protection: Prevents the crane from lifting loads beyond its maximum capacity, protecting both the crane and the operator.
- Limit switches: Ensures the crane doesn’t go beyond its operating range, preventing damage to the crane and surrounding infrastructure.
- Emergency stop button: Allows operators to quickly shut down the crane in case of an emergency.
Customization Options
Your business might have specific operational needs that require a tailored crane solution. We offer custom overhead cranes that can be adjusted for factors like:
- Load handling capabilities: Modifying hook types or the addition of special lifting attachments for unique loads.
- Environment-specific modifications: For example, cranes designed to operate in extreme temperatures, hazardous locations, or corrosive environments.
- Control and Automation Options: Custom controls, such as cabin operation, wireless remote operation, pendant controls, or even semi-automated and fully automated systems, can be integrated based on operational complexity.
Cost Considerations
Price is always a significant factor, but it should not be the only determining factor when purchasing an industrial overhead crane. While an affordable option might seem appealing, it’s essential to consider the long-term value. Opting for a crane based solely on price could lead to increased maintenance costs, reduced operational efficiency, and a shorter lifespan.
Consider the total cost of ownership, including:
- Initial purchase cost of overhead crane
- Installation costs
- Maintenance and repair costs
- Energy consumption
Investing in a high-quality, durable crane with advanced features will often be more cost-effective in the long run.
