1. What is a truck crane?
A truck crane is a mobile crane consisting of a truck chassis and a crane superstructure. It combines the mobility of a truck chassis with the heavy-load capacity of a crane and is widely used in industries such as construction, transportation, and ports for lifting and moving heavy objects.
2. What is the difference between a truck crane and other cranes?
Compared with traditional crawler cranes or tower cranes, the biggest feature of a truck crane is that it has good mobility and can be quickly transferred between cities and construction sites. It does not require additional transportation tools because the chassis and crane structure are integrated together, which is suitable for short-distance movement and a variety of working environments.
3. How does a truck crane work?
A truck crane works through a hydraulic system and wire ropes. The boom (or jib) can adjust the angle and height through a hydraulic device to lift or lower heavy objects. The wire rope on the boom is connected to the heavy object through a pulley system, so that the heavy object can be lifted and lowered accurately.
4. What is the maximum load of a truck crane?
The maximum load of a truck crane depends on its model and specifications. Common truck cranes have lifting capacities ranging from a few tons to hundreds of tons. For example, the load capacity of a small truck crane is between 5-30 tons, while a large truck crane can reach 500 tons or even higher.
5. What are the use scenarios of truck cranes?
Construction sites: Used to lift heavy objects such as building materials, steel bars, concrete, etc.
Road maintenance: Can provide heavy object handling and lifting during road construction and maintenance.
Port terminals: Transport ship cargo and load and unload containers.
Large equipment handling: Used for the handling and installation of industrial equipment and mechanical equipment.
Power facility construction: Lifting transformers, power towers and other facilities.
6. How to perform regular maintenance on truck cranes?
Regular maintenance is the key to ensuring the normal operation of truck cranes. The main maintenance items include:
Hydraulic system inspection: Replacement of hydraulic oil, inspection of hydraulic pumps and valves.
Electrical system inspection: Battery, cable, lighting system, etc.
Boom and wire rope inspection: Make sure there are no cracks in the boom and no wear or damage to the wire rope.
Tire and chassis inspection: Make sure the tires are worn properly and the chassis system is not loose.
Brake system inspection: Check the condition of the brakes and brake fluid.
7. How to choose a suitable truck crane?
When choosing a truck crane, the following factors need to be considered:
Load capacity: Choose according to the maximum weight that needs to be hoisted at the construction site.
Operating radius: Choose a suitable truck crane according to the extension length and height requirements of the crane arm.
Working environment: Consider whether it is necessary to work in a small space, on rough ground or in a high temperature environment.
Driver operation: Make sure that the operator is qualified to drive and operate the truck crane professionally.
8. What are the precautions for safe operation of the truck crane?
Ensure that the load is not overloaded: Strictly abide by the rated load limit when using it.
Check the hoisting equipment: The slings, wire ropes, etc. must be intact.
Check the equipment before operation: The hydraulic system, brake system, electrical system, boom, etc. of the crane should be checked.
Correct operation of the boom: The boom should be raised and lowered smoothly and should not be operated sharply.
Set up a safety zone: Set up a cordon in the working area to prevent unauthorized personnel from entering.
9. What is the transportation method of the truck crane?
The truck crane itself is already a mobile equipment, so it can usually be transported directly to the construction site by road. For truck cranes with super-large tonnage, special transportation tools or disassembly of some components may be required for transportation.
10. What is the price of the truck crane?
The price of the truck crane varies according to factors such as brand, model, tonnage, and function. The price of a small truck crane is roughly between hundreds of thousands and one million RMB, while the price of a large and high-tonnage truck crane can reach several million or even more. The specific price needs to be determined based on the supplier's quotation.
11. What is the market prospect of the truck crane?
With the continuous development of urban construction and infrastructure construction, the market demand for truck cranes continues to grow. Especially in the fields of large-scale construction projects, equipment handling, port loading and unloading, etc., the application space of truck cranes is very broad. With the advancement of science and technology, truck cranes will develop in the direction of intelligence and automation in the future.
