For design of girder & end carriages, the most critical structural components in an EOT crane,

We use static calculation developed through our vast experience wherein major design considerations like horizontal stress, vertical stress, deflection at load and fatigue limits are checked simultaneously for deriving optimum section. The design also undergoes vibration analysis.

The crab – trolley structure is characterized by lighter weight due to efficient design – lesser structural members (base frames holding wheels and members holding rope drum-gear box & other winch components). The lighter crab helps reduce & optimize the girder & end-carriage weight further.

Main Hoist Unit

Made of precisely matched components, SKYLINE open winches satisfy the most stringent requirements of up-to-date crane engineering.

The open winch unit consists of:

  • A rope drum with cut grooves, flanges on both sides, mounted on self-aligning roller bearings arranged to meet structural requirements.
  • A helical geared hoisting gearbox with fabricated housing and a horizontal joint. The torque arm is adjustable and stress- free.
  • The drive shaft of the gearbox is connected directly to the rope drum.
  • A squirrel-cage rotor motor as lifting motor (frequency inverter-controlled).

Travel Geared Motors

Advantages

  • Shaft mounted on wheel axle with torque arm, which results in less vibration and no alignment problems.
  • Heavy and overhang Long travel platform are avoided. Compact in design and less mechanical losses.
  • Less power consumption due to use of hardened and ground gearboxes.
  • All rotating parts are covered inside the casing hence considered safer than conventional drive with floating shaft.
  • Less maintenance required as floating shaft, shaft covers, geared couplings and its covers are not required.
  • Provision of manual brake release lever. Hence, the load can be removed from the danger zone in the event of power failure.
