Types of cranes

types of cranes with a brief explanation of force and design considerations on telescopic cranes and use of the wireless system in Tower cranes to overcome visibility issues for crane operator

1. types of cranes Submitted by Mr. Dakshil Patel Mr. Kishan P atel Department of civil engineering , Pandit Deendayal Petroleum University

2. Type of cranes 1) Mobile cranes 2) Fixed cranes

3. Mobile cranes Truck mounted cranes Telescopic truck mounted cranes All terrain cranes Crawler cranes Rail road Floating crane

4. Fixed cranes Tower Cranes Level Luffing Cranes Giant Cantilever Cranes Gantry Cranes Static Cranes General Cranes Heavy Cranes

5. Tower Crane  urban construction sites.  anchored to the ground Two horizontal, one used to suspend the heavy loads to be lifted and the other fitted with heavy concrete blocks as a counter-weight.  controlled by a driver who either sits high above in a small cabin located at the top of the tower, or else uses a remote control system to operate his machine from the ground.

7. Gantry Crane able to slide along a rail framework  employs a strong overhead gantry to lift and manoeuvre extremely heavy prefabricated bridge link loads.

8. Level-luffing Crane  crane is designed to stay at a constant level.  up and down movements of the jib arm will only move the hook towards, or away from, the base of the crane.  advantage of this type of movement is that the crane can be set to operate at a fixed level, relative to the ground, where such action is necessary to handle load materials with precision

9. Crawler Crane crane fitted with caterpillar tracks used on soft and boggy ground where wheeled vehicles would be unable to operate.  stable because its broad base and tracking spreads the weight over a wide area.  useful on construction sites during the initial phase of building projects where their ability to move heavy loads over areas of soft soil is a particular asset.

10. Floating crane mobile crane Floating in water bridges and port construction capable of carrying whole sections of bridge through the water ideal choice for cargo handling on waterways

11. All terrain crane carrier has all axle drive and all wheel steering. dual cabs, one for fast highway travel another has both drive and crane controls.

12. Rail road crane runs on rail tracks lifting the goods at station yards. installing signalling equipment track laying.

13. Telescopic Crane Works on hydraulic mechanism set of concentric tubular steel booms the operational height of the crane can be altered mobile

14. Parts of telescopic crane Mother Boom Middle Boom Inner Boom Extension Cylinder Winch

15. Parts of telescopic crane Mother Boom: This is the outer most portion of the system, consisting of other sections extension, retraction system. Winch is mounted on the left side of the boom . Extension cylinder rear end is connected from the inside. Middle Boom: This is the second section of booms comes inside the mother boom. The other end of the extension cylinder is connected with the Middle Boom.

16. Parts of telescopic crane Inner Boom: This is the third section of booms comes inside the Middle boom. Inner Boom and Middle booms are connected with each other with rope mechanism. This rope mechanism is known as boom extension and retraction system. Extension Cylinder: Extension cylinder is attached in between mother boom and first extension. This is to extend the boom, to pick up the load from long distance, i.e., from more radius

17. Parts of telescopic cranes Winch: This is the part present on the mother boom. This is the winch drum on which rope is wounded. Winch motor is present inside the housing. This is to rotate the winch drum for winding and unwinding of rope. The other end of the rope is connected with the snatch block hanging from the boom.

18. Forces and design considerations • The load lifted from the Jib head, gives the loading on all the booms. Hence affects the design of each boom. • The load lifted from other variable hook, gives the different force and moment on middle boom and mother boom. • The worse loading and moment is taken for the basis of designing.

19. • The load lifted on mother boom fixed hook, affects the designing of mother boom only.

39. Advantage of telescopic crane Telescopic cranes work on a boom and jib system. The boom is made up of many tubes fitted inside one another that can be extended through hydraulics. Our telescopic cranes feature a jib, or superstructure, at the top which enables the telescopic crane to work as a tower crane. Telescopic cranes offer a very speedy set up, making them perfect for emergency or rescue jobs.  Another perk of telescopic cranes is their precision. They can place heavy loads with exactitude whilst being easily manoeuvrable and able to reach up high.
