Gantry Crane For Subway Construction

This type of crane is a special door crane developed by our company according to the use requirements and technological conditions of subway construction, combined with the general Gantry Crane, which is specially used for turning over mud and lifting pipe pieces during subway construction. The crane is composed of a gantry, a trolley (equipped with a lifting mechanism, a trolley operating mechanism and a hydraulic turnover mechanism), a trolley operating mechanism, a driver's cab and electrical equipment. According to the different direction of dumping, the leg structure can be divided into two forms: A type and U type. The truck operating mechanism adopts the form of 8 wheels and 4 drives, and is provided with a windproof rail clamp. When the crane is working normally, the clamp of the rail clamp leaves the track.

It is a versatile and efficient piece of equipment that is essential for lifting and moving heavy materials and equipment during the construction process.

One of the main advantages of using a gantry crane in subway construction is its ability to move horizontally along tracks or rails. This allows it to cover a large area and reach different sections of the construction site without the need for multiple cranes or excessive repositioning. The gantry crane can easily traverse the length of the subway tunnel, making it ideal for lifting and placing materials at various locations.

Gantry cranes used in subway construction are typically equipped with a lifting mechanism, such as a hoist or a winch, which allows them to lift heavy loads. This is crucial for tasks such as placing concrete segments for tunnel lining, moving heavy machinery, or lifting construction materials to higher levels. The lifting capacity of gantry cranes can vary depending on their size and configuration, but they are usually designed to handle loads ranging from a few tons to several hundred tons.

Another advantage of using gantry cranes in subway construction is their stability and strength. Gantry cranes are usually built with a sturdy steel frame that provides excellent support and stability during lifting operations. This is particularly important in subway construction, where precision and safety are paramount. The stability of the gantry crane ensures that heavy loads can be lifted and moved safely without any risk of tipping or accidents.

Furthermore, gantry cranes used in subway construction can be equipped with additional features to enhance their functionality. For example, they can be fitted with telescopic booms or jibs to extend their reach and lift loads to greater heights. They can also be equipped with specialized attachments, such as grabs or magnets, to handle specific materials or perform specialized tasks.

In conclusion, gantry cranes play a crucial role in subway construction projects. Their ability to move horizontally along tracks, lift heavy loads, and provide stability makes them indispensable for lifting and moving materials and equipment during the construction process. Gantry cranes ensure the efficiency and safety of subway construction projects, ultimately contributing to the successful completion of the subway system.
