What is the metal structure of a crane?
Cranes, as well as other mechanical equipment, metal structures are one of their important components, bearing the weight of the entire equipment. In other words, if the crane's metal structure is damaged, it will have extremely serious consequences. It is understood that the proportion of metal structures in the entire crane is very large, especially in some heavy cranes, so it must be taken seriously.
As the skeleton of the entire crane, the metal structure is mainly used to combine the mechanical and electrical equipment of the crane into an organic whole, and to bear and transfer various loads acting on the crane in order to achieve the purpose of lifting. Generally, metal structures are made of rolled steel, steel plates, etc. as basic components, and they can be made into steel structures by welding, riveting, and bolting.
At present, as common crane metal structures, there are two types of solid web and lattice. These basic force components will appear in different forms such as columns, beams and booms. Not only that, metal components also have the characteristics of complex force, self-heavy weight, and many consumables, so they are easy to identify.
