Overview of gantry crane installation and construction

  • gantry crane installation and construction: preliminary preparation and planning, layout, safety and performance inspection, acceptance and handover work, construction log and document management,

Preliminary preparation and planning:

Technical Brief: The installation team must be familiar with the crane’s technical parameters, installation requirements, and manufacturer’s drawings and installation manuals.

Construction Permits: Make sure all necessary construction and safety permits have been obtained.

Tools and Equipment Inspection: Confirm that all necessary installation tools, equipment (such as cranes, auxiliary tools, etc.) and personal protective equipment are complete, effective and in good condition.

On-site inspection: Conduct a thorough inspection of the installation site, including ground conditions, surrounding environment, weather conditions, etc., to ensure that the installation work can proceed smoothly.

Logistics Coordination: Verify transportation plans for crane components, parts and tools to ensure they are delivered to site as planned.

Layout:

Storage Areas: Designate and prepare storage areas for materials and components to prevent damage and theft.

Lifting Area: Plan and mark the lifting area for main beams and other heavy components.

Component Inspection and Pre-Assembly:

Part Inspection: A detailed visual inspection of all parts arriving on site to ensure there is no shipping damage and cross-checked with packing lists and drawings.

Component Pre-Assembly: Assembling smaller components into larger modules at ground level to reduce the time and risks associated with working at height.

Main installation steps:

Foundation Inspection: Carefully inspect the concrete foundation and embedded parts to ensure that they have reached sufficient strength and are in the correct position.

Columns and end beams: Lift the columns and connect the end beams to ensure that the verticality of the columns and the level of the end beams meet the design requirements.

Main beam hoisting: Select the correct lifting machinery, use the pre-installed lifting device, hoist the main beam according to the prescribed procedures, and connect it to the column.

Installation of trolley running mechanism: including the installation and adjustment of trolley driving device and wheel assembly.

Electrical installation and debugging: Wiring according to the electrical plan, installing electrical components, laying cables, and debugging the electrical system.

Trolley installation: Install the trolley wire rope and trolley driving device, and make connections.

Safety Devices and Limit Switch Installation: Install and adjust mechanical and electrical limits.

Overall Commissioning: After completing all mechanical assembly components and electrical installation, conduct no-load and load tests.

Security and Performance Check:

Record Keeping: Prepare a set of inspection records to record the results of each inspection.

Trial operation: Conduct a trial operation under the supervision of professional technicians to verify the operation, lifting, rotation and other functions of the crane.

Load Test: Conduct rated load test and (if specified) 125% overload test to ensure stable performance of the crane.

Safety protection function check: Confirm that all safety protection functions, such as overload protection, limit devices, emergency braking, etc., are operating normally.

Acceptance and handover work:

Specified acceptance procedures: Acceptance shall be carried out in accordance with the contract and manufacturer’s regulations, including static acceptance and dynamic acceptance.

Technical Documentation and Manual Handover: Complete technical documentation, operating manuals and maintenance guides are handed over to the user.

User Training: Train operators and maintenance personnel to ensure they can operate the crane correctly and perform routine maintenance.

Construction Log and Document Management:

Construction Log: Detailed records of daily construction progress, equipment used, personnel, problems encountered, and solutions.

Document Management: Keep all documents generated during the installation process clean, readable, easily indexable, and properly stored.

This installation and construction plan must be implemented under the guidance of professional and technical personnel to ensure that every step undergoes strict safety control and quality inspection. All operations should comply with the standard operating procedures provided by the manufacturer and the requirements of local regulatory agencies.
