Working principle of lifting machinery

Hoisting machinery is designed to lift and move heavy loads using a lifting hook or other gripping devices. The operation typically involves several key steps: lifting the load from its initial position, moving it horizontally through running, turning, or luffing mechanisms, then lowering it at the desired location before returning to the original spot. This process ensures efficient material handling in various industrial and construction settings.

Drive Unit

The drive unit plays a crucial role in powering the working mechanisms of a crane. Common types of drive systems include electric, internal combustion engine, and manual drives. Electric drives are widely used today due to their efficiency, cleanliness, and low maintenance. Most cranes that operate within limited areas, such as overhead cranes, elevators, and hoists, rely on electric power. On the other hand, mobile cranes like truck-mounted, tire-mounted, and crawler cranes often use internal combustion engines for greater mobility and power. Manual drives, although less common, are still used for small lifting tasks or as backup systems during emergencies or maintenance.

Working Mechanisms

Cranes are composed of four main working mechanisms: the hoisting mechanism, the traveling mechanism, the luffing mechanism, and the slewing mechanism. These components work together to ensure smooth and safe operation of the crane.

(1) The hoisting mechanism is responsible for vertical movement of the load. It is an essential component in all types of cranes, especially gantry cranes, where it enables the lifting and lowering of materials with precision and control.

(2) The traveling mechanism allows the crane or trolley to move along a track or over a surface. It can be either self-propelled or towed, depending on the design and application. This mechanism enables horizontal movement of the load, which is vital for positioning the material correctly.

(3) The luffing mechanism is specific to boom-type cranes. It adjusts the angle and length of the boom, thereby changing the working radius and height of the load. This feature is particularly useful in applications requiring flexibility in lifting range.

(4) The slewing mechanism allows the boom to rotate around the vertical axis of the crane. This rotation enables the crane to transport materials across an arc-shaped area, making it easier to place loads in different locations without repositioning the entire machine.
