A shaft gantry crane is a highly safe, reliable, multifunctional, and efficient piece of lifting equipment. It is designed and developed based on the double-girder gantry crane, incorporating the actual working conditions and characteristics of shafts. This equipment features a high degree of intelligence and automation, making it suitable for various complex working environments. It can be installed either outdoors or inside tunnels.
Weihua shaft construction gantry crane, full name “Ultra-high lifting height gantry crane for shaft construction,” is a type of special lifting equipment specifically designed for deep shaft construction. Its core characteristic is its extremely high lifting height, capable of meeting the vertical lifting needs of various equipment and materials in shafts hundreds of meters deep. Its typical tasks include: shaft excavation, assembly and lifting of large equipment such as Tunnel Boring Machines (TBM), installation of penstocks, and hoisting of other in-shaft construction equipment.
Features & Advantages
Ultra-High Lifting Height
Specifically designed for deep shafts, with lifting heights ranging from 190 meters to 658 meters, where the 658-meter model has set a new world record.
Intelligent Control
Utilizes 5G+ integrated redundant communication technology to ensure signal stability above and below the shaft. Achieves precise positioning at ultra-high lifting heights through core algorithms that compensate for wire rope deformation.
Stable & Reliable
Features a robust structural design with strong wind resistance. Employs intelligent sensing and data analysis to support remote visualized command, significantly reducing risks in deep shaft operations.
Applications
This type of equipment mainly serves national key projects requiring large-scale deep shaft construction:
Pumped Storage Power Stations Core application area. Used for the construction of key sections such as headrace shafts and ventilation shafts in power stations, for hoisting equipment and components. For example, it has been applied in projects like Zhejiang Jinyun, a certain pumped storage power station, and the Beijing Olympic supporting project Zhanghewan Power Station.
Other Large-Scale Hydraulic/Underground Projects Theoretically applicable to other engineering fields requiring deep shaft construction, such as water conservancy and hydropower, mining, and tunnel engineering.
