The most popular lifting equipment used in the hydroelectric power industry today is the goat foot gantry crane, also known as the goat foot crane. So what is this device built and what are the characteristics? Let's take a look at the article below.
1. Structure of the gantry crane
Goat foot gantry crane or goat foot gantry crane is a specialized lifting device for lifting and lowering valve gates, repairing spillways, assembling spillway equipment in hydroelectric projects.
Goat foot bridge crane is composed of:
- Combined welded structure, cross-section with box-shaped bearing beams.
- The car is mounted on the crane frame. Equipped with a cover system to protect mechanical parts.
- The lifting mechanism consists of two rollers with two spiral grooves, two suspension systems and a transmission mechanism.
- There are also safety devices such as: limiter for lifting stroke, travel travel, position restriction devices for up and down travel,...
2. Features of the gantry crane
- Capable of lifting and lowering loads from 2 * 5 tons to 2 * 100 tons.
- The structure of the gantry crane is diverse, can be cantilevered or not, single or double legs, ... to meet many different needs.
- Outdoor activities, withstand the impact of environmental factors.
- Steel structure is galvanized with specialized paint to increase resistance to rust, corrosion of seawater and chemicals.
- The gantry crane works regardless of the factory design, without limiting the lifting height.
- This equipment is designed and installed specifically, so the installation cost of this equipment is often higher than other industrial lifting equipment.
- However, the limitation of this device is that it can only work on flat terrain, therefore, to use this device in irrigation works, it is necessary to make an additional foundation to install this system.
