When the crane’s hook and wire rope are used in high-temperature environments, they are directly or indirectly subjected to cyclical exposure to intense heat. These harsh conditions can affect the strength of metal components, leading to changes in their material properties, structure, and physical performance.
As industrialization accelerates, the operating conditions for special equipment are becoming increasingly complex. To address these challenges, LDG high-temperature electric cranes have been developed.
Basic Parameters of LDG High-Temperature Electric Single Girder Crane
Features of LDG High-Temperature Electric Single Girder Crane
Structural Design
The welds between the web plate and flange plate adopt full penetration welding. Post-weld heat treatment is applied to relieve stress and prevent deformation under high-temperature conditions.
- Thermal Insulation Measures
The underside of the main girder and the outer sides of the end girders are lined with aluminum silicate fiber felt for thermal insulation.
Key components such as motors and gearboxes are equipped with detachable thermal insulation covers to protect them from heat radiation damage.
Key Components Upgraded for High-Temperature Resistance
What Are the Differences Between the LDG High-Temperature Electric Single Girder Crane and the Standard LD Electric Single Girder Crane？
How to Select a Suitable LDG High-Temperature Electric Single Girder Crane
Determining Core Parameters
- Lifting Capacity
Include both the weight of the materials and the lifting devices.
- Span and Lifting Height
Determine based on the column spacing of the workshop and the height of heat sources.
- Duty Class
For high-temperature workshops, choose between Class A3 – A6.
High-Temperature Adaptability Configurations
Configurations for Special Operating Conditions
- High Temperature + Dust
Add high-temperature-resistant dust covers.
- High Temperature + Corrosion
Apply epoxy zinc-rich primer and fluorocarbon topcoat to metal surfaces.
- High Temperature + Explosion-Proof
Comply with ATEX standards; motor with Ex d certification.
Industry Application Case
Continuous Casting Workshop of a Steel Plant
Working Conditions:
Located 5 m from the continuous caster, ambient temperature 50 °C, used for lifting cast billets (lifting capacity: 16 t; span: 22.5 m).
Configuration:
Model LDG-16t-22.5m-A5, equipped with a 50 mm thick thermal insulation layer at the bottom of the main girder and a motor with forced air cooling. The crane has been operating reliably for 5 years.
