Shipbuilding gantry cranes are core critical equipment in modern shipbuilding industry. They are specialized giant lifting machinery designed for large-scale hoisting, transportation, turnover, and joining operations of hull segments in docks, on berths, or platforms.
As a type of gantry crane, shipbuilding gantry cranes come in both single-girder and double-girder structural configurations. They are capable of performing various functions including single lifting, dual-hook coordinated lifting, in-air segment rotation, and precision horizontal positioning adjustments.
Features of Shipbuilding Gantry Cranes:
Gigantic Scale: Features extremely high lifting capacity, wide span, and significant lifting height.
High Precision: Utilizes advanced technologies like frequency conversion, PLC control, and anti-sway systems to achieve precise positioning, meeting the stringent requirements of hull joining operations.
Multi-functionality: Through the flexible configuration and coordinated control of multiple trolleys and hooks, it can perform various complex processes such as lifting, tandem lifting, and segment turnover.
High Safety: The crane structure is robust and incorporates multiple safety protection systems, ensuring secure operation even in harsh industrial environments.
Application of Shipbuilding Gantry Cranes:
Shipbuilding gantry cranes are almost exclusively used in the following heavy industries:
Docks/Berths in Large Shipyards: This is their primary and most typical working environment. Here, the cranes perform the lifting, turning, and joining of hull segments.
Large Port Terminals & Heavy Machinery Manufacturing Plants: Used for loading, unloading, and transporting other overweight and oversized cargo or structural components, such as nuclear power modules and large bridge segments.
Ship Repair and Dismantling: In dry docks, they are used for hoisting large ship components for repair or to assist in vessel dismantling.
-
Main Girder The "bridge" spanning over the ship dock, serving as the primary load-bearing structure of the crane, providing the runway for the trolley. Q235/Q345 carbon structural steel, Large span and high lifting capacity -
Travel Mechanism Composed of wheel assemblies / wheels and drive units, enabling the gantry (crane) / trolley to travel on the rails. -
Trolley Typically includes an upper trolley and a lower trolley. They can operate independently or cooperatively to perform complex maneuvers such as lifting, tandem lifting, and segment turnover. -
Maintenance Hoist A small, auxiliary crane installed to facilitate the maintenance of equipment on the main girder (e.g., the trolley, electrical cabinets). -
Hook Multi hook lifting function to meet the complex shipbuilding process requirements
