Choosing the bridge crane that suits your own needs requires considering multiple factors. The following is a detailed explanation for you:
Lifting capacity: Firstly, it is necessary to clarify the maximum weight of the goods that need to be lifted. This depends on the weight of the goods usually handled in your production process. For example, if you mainly lift lighter components, the lifting capacity requirement may be smaller; but if it involves the lifting of large mechanical components, a larger lifting capacity is required.
Span: Determine it based on the width of your workshop or working site. Ensure that the span of the crane can cover the required lifting area without any dead corners. For instance, a narrow and long workshop may require a smaller span, while a spacious large factory building may require a larger span.
Lifting height: Consider the maximum height to which the goods need to be lifted. If it is a multi-story warehouse, a higher lifting height may be needed; while for a single-story workshop, a lower lifting height may be sufficient.
Working level: This is related to the frequency of use of the crane and the severity of the working environment. Cranes with a high working level are suitable for scenarios with frequent and high-intensity use; cranes with a low working level are suitable for situations with less frequent use.
Running speed: Select based on the requirements of production efficiency. If it is necessary to lift goods quickly to improve production efficiency, a crane with a faster running speed should be selected. Control method: There are manual control and remote control, etc. For complex operating environments or situations that require long-distance operation, remote control may be more appropriate. Brand and quality: Choose well-known brands and manufacturers with a good reputation. Their products usually have more reliable quality and better after-sales service.
Budget: On the premise of meeting the needs, the selection should be combined with the budget. But you cannot sacrifice key performance and quality just because of the low price.
For example, a large steel plant, due to the heavy steel being lifted, needs to choose a bridge crane with a large lifting capacity, a high working level, and a wide span; while a small machinery factory, because the parts lifted are small and the use is not frequent, it may be possible to choose a bridge crane with a moderate lifting capacity, a low working level, and a relatively affordable price to meet the needs.
