The effective installation of a Double Girder EOT (Electric Overhead Traveling) Crane system can only be done with the economy of precision and adherence to professional ethics. Here at ABCO Engineers as a leading Crane Manufacturers Bangalore and Mangalore we emphasize ensuring that the quality crane systems we provide are quickly implemented. We, therefore, present the following procedure that will explain the installation of a Double Girder EOT Crane system step by step:

Pre-Installation Planning

Once all the preliminary activities are completed, installation planning should follow before any physical work commences.

• Site Assessment: Survey the site to determine if it meets all the structural requirements and that there is sufficient spatial configuration for the erecting of the crane.
• Load Analysis: It is important to identify the various weights or loads that will be burdened on the crane since this will help in identifying the crane that will be reasonable for the given load, its overall size, and what other safety measures would be required.
• Compliance With Regulations: This is where one makes sure that the whole installation process adheres to the local authority’s laws and regulations – safety has never been compromised, IS codes, and international standards, among others.
• Logistics and Equipment Planning: Make sure that all the essential tools and equipment will be used such as scaffolding, lifts, and power supply needed for construction works.

Establishing the Base and the Support System

The importance of the foundation cannot be overemphasized, especially in supporting the crane system.

• Construction Work: If necessary, construct strong bases for the crane rails and columns. The size of the footing must correspond to the size of the maximum loads enforced by the crane.
• Runway Verticality: Mount the runway girders on columns or walls. The calibration of the rails has to be precise to facilitate the easy passage of the crane within the structure.

Assembly of Crane Components

Once both the bases and rails are set, the next step is to place all the components of the crane in their respective positions.

• Installation of Bridge/Main Beam: Two bolts are lowered by the hydraulic crane onto the runway and placed on the two girders respectively. Spare the plates between the two girders.
• End Carriages: Finally, these are fixed on either end of the bridge girders. These connect the girders with wheels that run on a runway.
• Crane Drive Mechanism: Attach the long travel (LT) drive mechanism which is mounted on the end carriages. This consists of the wheels, motors, and gearboxes attached to the crane which aid in the movement of the crane together with the rails.

Hoist and Trolley Installation

The hoist and trolley provide the prime moving device of the crane.

• Trolley Setup: Position the trolley on the top Bridge Girders. The trolley runs along the girder and positions itself over the hoist and relocates.
• Hoist Attachment: Bring the hoist closer to the trolley by tightening the chains. Since the hoist performs the function of hoisting materials vertically, care must be taken in the positioning and connection of the parts.
• Wiring and Connections: Wire the hoist, motors, and the control panel. Electrical connections must also be weatherproofed to avert the risk of contact with electrically powered circuits to water or moisture.

Electrical System and Control Setup

The control setup is very important for the safety and efficient functioning of the crane.

• Control Panel Installation: Ensure the main control panel comprising a PLC or VFD system is fitted. It coordinates the movement and lifting operations of the crane.
• Power Supply: Switch on the crane and ensure it is connected to an active power supply. All power circuits are grounded correctly.
• Pendant or Remote Control Setup: If its order is about how the crane is to be moved, then verify that the control system operates smoothly across all directions.

Testing and Commissioning

A detailed evaluation is necessary after the completion of installation work to guarantee proper operation of the system.

• Load Testing: When it comes to load testing, carry it out systematically starting from low loads, then increasing towards the safe working load of the designated crane. This is to ensure that the crane design capacities are not exceeded
• Alignment and Calibration: Perform angle verifiers between the fixed track of the lattice crane, CRP hoist, and trolley. The movement of the boom must be accurately calibrated by adjusting the control system.
• Safety Checks: This involves checking that all safety features work and safety components, especially emergency stops, limits, overloads, and brakes.

Operator Training and Documentation

Cranes are unforgiving equipment, hence training the operators for safe and efficient crane usage is paramount.

• Operator Training: Teach the operators all necessary practical usage operations such as the controls and their various limits, load safety and control systems, and emergency features.
• Maintenance Schedule: Provide a detailed maintenance calendar including inspection tasks, and procedures for safe and reliable use of cranes for a very long time.
• Documentation: Hand all the important and necessary documents such as installation details, testing, and reports on work done including bearing calculation tables, and compliance in all aspects.

Support After Installation

At ABCO Engineers a renowned Crane Manufacturers Bangalore we have continued assistance to our clients by reaching them out even after the installation is done.

• Maintenance Services: Routine maintenance services are performed to avert unnecessary downtime and enhance the life of the crane in question.
• Troubleshooting Assistance: Trouble-shooting requires a technical assistance team who will help fix any operational problems that may occur after installation.

Conclusion 

One of the most rated Double Girder EOT Crane systems can be quite cumbersome hence its successful installation imposes stimulation in productivity and efficiency in any industrial configuration. ABCO Engineers, famous for Crane Manufacturers Bangalore has a team of professionals provides perfect and impeding in the installation and performance of the system as well as after operational support.
