Important Notes:
1. Variability: Almost all parameters (Span, Height, Girder Type, Speed, Hoist Features, Control, Safety) are customizable based on specific application requirements and budget.
2. Wheel Load: This is the MOST CRITICAL parameter for ground/rail/foundation design. It depends heavily on the specific crane configuration and load position. Must be calculated by Weihua engineers.
3. Standards: Specify the required design standard (e.g., FEM, DIN, CMAA, GB) and market certification (e.g., CE) early in the inquiry.
4. Environment: Clearly state the operating environment (indoor/outdoor, temperature, humidity, chemicals, dust) for correct material, paint, and protection selection.
5. Hoist: The specific hoist model (e.g., Weihua LH5t-18m H9m) will have its own detailed parameter sheet.
6. Quotation: A formal quotation from Weihua or a distributor will provide exact specifications based on your detailed requirements.
1. Lifting Capacity: Primary capacity of 5 metric tons (5,000 kg), suitable for handling heavy machinery parts, steel beams, construction materials, containers (smaller sizes), and large equipment.
2. Span & Height: Highly customizable to fit your specific workspace. Typical spans range from 10 meters to 35+ meters, while lifting heights can be configured from 6 meters up to 18+ meters or more, ensuring clearance for your operations.
3. Structural Design:
Main Girders: Engineered using robust box-type or truss-type girders (depending on model/span) fabricated from high-strength steel (Q235B/Q345B), ensuring rigidity, stability, and resistance to deflection under load.
Legs: Sturdy, rigid legs provide excellent support. Options include fixed height or adjustable-height legs (manual pin adjustment or hydraulic) to accommodate uneven ground or varying lift height requirements. Self-traveling models feature integrated drive systems.
End Carriages: Equipped with double-girder or single-girder trolley systems running on high-quality rails mounted on the girders. Feature drive motors, brakes, and wheels.
4. Hoisting Mechanism:
Electric Hoist: Typically features a reliable and powerful 5-ton electric wire rope hoist (standard). Options include Weihua’s own hoists or compatible units from leading brands.
Control: Smooth and precise variable frequency control (VFD options available) for hoisting and trolley travel ensures gentle load handling and accurate positioning. Pendant control is standard, with radio remote control as a popular option.
Hook: Forged steel hook with safety latch, sized for the 5-ton capacity.
5. Travel Mechanism:
Crane Travel: The entire gantry structure moves along ground rails. Driven by electric motors (AC, 3-phase) mounted on the end carriages, equipped with brakes. Travel speeds are optimized for safety and efficiency.
Trolley Travel: The hoist trolley traverses the length of the main girders via its own drive system.
Drive Options: Standard 2-wheel drive (one side) or optional 4-wheel drive (both sides) for increased traction, especially important outdoors or on slopes.
6. Safety & Reliability (Standard & Optional):
Overload Limit Switch: Crucial safety device to prevent lifting beyond the 5-ton rated capacity.
Travel Limit Switches: Prevents the crane or trolley from over-traveling beyond the runway ends.
Emergency Stop Buttons: Located on the pendant and potentially the radio remote.
Anti-Collision Systems: Available for installations with multiple cranes.
Wind Anchors: Essential for outdoor installations to secure the crane against high winds.
Robust Braking Systems: On all motions (hoist, trolley, gantry travel).
High-Quality Components: Bearings, gears, motors, and electrical components selected for durability and long service life.
