Frequently Asked Questions

Let’s start by briefly defining a crane. In situations where human strength is insufficient to lift a load, cranes are the machines used for the task. Heavy loads are attached to the crane’s hook and transferred from one point to another. Cranes vary in their areas of use and come in many different types. While they may appear similar in structure, they differ depending on their function and form.

Today, the most common types of cranes we encounter are overhead and gantry cranes that move on rails. Almost every industrial facility has at least one overhead crane in its production hall. These cranes move along rails mounted on the columns and beams of the factory structure. Gantry cranes, on the other hand, are primarily used in open areas and move along rails installed on the ground. They are especially preferred in marble quarries, ports, and places where overhead crane installation is not feasible.

Jib cranes are commonly used in factories that have reached a certain operational level, particularly to cover a specific area and support processes in that zone. Jib cranes can be divided into two categories: column-mounted and floor-mounted. Both systems can scan up to 360° in a given radius area.

In addition, there are other supportive crane types like console, under-hung, and process cranes.

Considering general market standards, the recommended operating temperatures for cranes range from -10°C to +40°C. In countries with particularly high temperatures or in environments where the crane operates intensively, we recommend enhancing your system with a cooling unit.

If the electrical panel is not sufficiently cooled, there is a high likelihood that the system will enter a protective mode after reaching a certain temperature threshold. To prevent such interruptions, we can reinforce the system with solutions like internal panel air conditioning. In extremely cold environments, we recommend using special oils to prevent mechanical components from freezing, as standard protection oils may be at risk of freezing.
