Introduction

Weihua self-erecting gantry crane is a special type of gantry crane utilizing segmented legs and jack-up technology. It is specifically designed for narrow or complex sites inaccessible to large mobile cranes, enabling rapid installation and adjustable height, and is widely used in various industrial fields.

The self-erecting gantry crane has a gantry structure similar to a traditional U-type gantry crane, with the core difference lying in the leg design. To adapt to special work sites where large mobile cranes cannot enter, its legs are manufactured in multiple segments, each equipped with a jack-up support base. On-site, the trolley, main girder, and end carriages are assembled first. Then, the leg segments are gradually jacked up using jacks and fixed via flange connections. Finally, the bottom crossbeam and crane travel mechanism are installed. This design makes it particularly suitable for modular installation and dismantling in spaces with limited access.

Features & Advantages

Modular Installation & Dismantling
Segmented legs and bolted connections of structural components allow for on-site assembly in locations inaccessible to large mobile cranes, facilitating easy installation and dismantling.
Adjustable Height & Flexible Movement
The self-erecting function of the legs allows for rapid height adjustment on-site to suit different operational stages; equipped with traveling wheels for flexible movement within the site, reducing the need for repeated installation.
Intelligent Control, Safe & Reliable
Utilizes fully digital AC variable frequency drive and PLC control for high-precision positioning and smooth operation. Key mechanisms have ample safety margins and are equipped with comprehensive protection devices such as overload limiters and limit switches to ensure operational safety.
Wide Adaptability & Customization
Lifting capacity typically ranges from 5t to 100t, span from 10m to 50m, lifting height from 10m to 60m, and working class A3~A6, customizable according to requirements.

Structural Composition

ComponentDescription
GantryU-type gantry structure welded from high-strength steel, ensuring good stability and load-bearing capacity.
LegsUnique segmented design, each segment equipped with a jack-up support base, enabling on-site self-erecting assembly and height adjustment.
Main Girder & End CarriagesPre-assembled together with the trolley, forming the upper main structure of the crane.
Crane Travel MechanismDrives the entire crane longitudinally along the ground rails, typically using multi-wheel drive for smooth operation.
Trolley & Hoisting MechanismThe trolley travels transversely along the main girder rails and is equipped with a hoisting mechanism responsible for lifting and lowering the load.
Electrical SystemUtilizes fully digital AC variable frequency technology and PLC control system for high-precision operation.

Applications

The self-erecting gantry crane is widely used in industries such as machinery, metallurgy, mining, electric power, railways, ports, petroleum, and chemical engineering. Specific scenarios include:

  • Construction: Material lifting and equipment installation for high-rise buildings.
  • Bridge Construction: Lifting and handling of prefabricated components.
  • Large Equipment Installation: Hoisting of large equipment in factories, power stations, etc.
  • Special Confined Sites: Locations difficult for large mobile cranes to access, such as interior renovations or expansions of old factories.
