How to chose the crane
The choice of cranes is carried out in two stages. At the first stage, the technical feasibility of using a crane of this size group is established. On the second, the technical and economic calculation is carried out and the economic feasibility of using a crane of this size and brand is determined.
Initial data for selecting a crane at stage I:
- dimensions and configuration of structures (underground and aboveground parts)
- parameters of blocks of concreting and structures assembled in them (geometric dimensions, mass)
- conditions for delivery of concrete mix (and other cargo) and its overload
- type of horizontal transport, its carrying capacity, and volume of the concrete mixture
- type of tub and its mass
- type of horizontal transport of other goods
- conditions for the production of works (the degree of concentration of structures, soil, and climatic conditions, places of storage of goods, etc.).
The following sequence of tap selection is recommended.
- Determine the overall dimensions of parts of structures.
- Calculate the required height of the hook.
- Find the required hook projection when erecting the aboveground part of the structure.
- Determine the required load capacity of the crane (taking the mass into account).
- According to the available range of cranes, choose the most suitable for the load capacity and purpose and check the compliance of its characteristics with the required ones. A significant value in the selection of the crane is the speed characteristics of the crane – the speed of lifting, lowering loads, moving the trolley. To supply concrete mix to blocks, high-speed cranes should be used, for assembly works – low-speed ones.
