Cranes are widely used in the general manufacturing industry. The following are some common application scenarios and cases:
Application: In manufacturing factories, cranes are often used to transport raw materials such as steel, wood, and plastic pellets from warehouses or unloading areas to designated locations in the production workshops. They can quickly and efficiently complete the horizontal and vertical transportation of heavy objects, saving manpower and time and improving production efficiency.
Case: An automotive parts manufacturing factory uses an overhead bridge crane to lift and transport coiled steel plates from the raw material warehouse to the stamping workshop. These steel plates weigh several tons, and through the precise operation of the crane, they can be accurately placed next to the stamping press, providing raw materials for subsequent parts production.
Application: On the production line, cranes can transfer parts or semi-finished products between different processing stations. For example, in a machining workshop, a crane can lift and transport blanks to processing equipment such as lathes and milling machines. After processing, it can then lift and transport the finished products or semi-finished products to the next station for further processing.
Case: A furniture manufacturing enterprise uses a jib crane to lift and transport cut wooden boards from the cutting area to the assembly area when producing solid wood furniture. Workers assemble the wooden boards into furniture frames in the assembly area, and then use the crane to lift and transport the frames to the painting workshop for surface treatment. The application of the crane makes the material transfer during the production process smoother, reducing the backlog and waiting time of materials.
Application: When manufacturing enterprises install new equipment or carry out equipment maintenance, cranes are essential tools. They can accurately lift and transport large equipment components to the installation location, or when maintaining equipment, disassemble the equipment components and lift and transport them to the maintenance area.
Case: An electronic equipment manufacturing factory needs to install a high-precision semiconductor manufacturing device. This device is large in volume and heavy in weight. By using a gantry crane, each component of the device is lifted and transported from the transport vehicle into the clean workshop and precisely placed at the designated location according to the installation requirements. When the equipment needs to be repaired, the crane can also conveniently lift and transport the components to be repaired and send them to the specialized maintenance workshop for inspection and repair, shortening the equipment downtime and improving the equipment utilization rate.
Application: After the products are manufactured, cranes can lift and transport the finished products to the packaging area or warehouse for storage. For some large or heavy finished products, such as large machinery and generator sets, cranes can ensure their safe and efficient handling and storage.
Case: A construction machinery manufacturing company uses a mobile crane to lift and transport large construction machinery equipment such as loaders and excavators that have been assembled to the outdoor finished product storage area. When there is an order, the crane is used again to lift and transport the equipment onto the transport vehicle and send it to customers all over the country. In the links of finished product handling and warehousing, the crane ensures the smooth flow of products and reduces the risk of damage during the handling process.
