In the process of modern industrial construction, mechanization has become widespread, with corresponding mechanical equipment available in various production sites. Container gantry cranes are specifically used for transporting goods within factories and companies. Although they are carefully designed, container gantry cranes can encounter some unexpected situations during operation; for example, the wheels may slip in rainy weather, which affects the progress of work. What should be taken into account when using container gantry cranes on rainy days? Next, the container gantry crane manufacturers will explain several key points to keep in mind. 1. Container gantry cranes equipped with anti-slip chains are generally operated outdoors, and in rainy weather, slipping and electrical leakage can easily occur due to rain. To prevent operational difficulties or dangerous accidents resulting from this, it is necessary to start by using anti-slip chains to secure the tires that are prone to slipping, thereby reducing the likelihood of such issues. 2. To ensure proper drainage, the area where components are stored must be level, and adequate drainage measures should be in place around it. The foundation of container gantry cranes or the road surface must be 15 cm above the natural ground level; water accumulation or soaking in the storage area is strictly prohibited. 3. Use methods such as adding ropes to ensure that lifting operations are not carried out in rainy weather. When the lifting ropes get wet in rain, the friction coefficient between the ropes and the components decreases, which can easily lead to serious safety hazards such as the goods slipping. If lifting operations are necessary, extra care should be taken, and measures such as using additional ropes and increasing the roughness of the surface of the cargo should be employed to ensure protection. 4. Perform proper cleaning tasks: Many users choose to stop using container gantry cranes on rainy days. In daily use, it is essential to regularly inspect these cranes and carry out cleaning and maintenance tasks to prevent the growth of mold. The manufacturers of container gantry cranes advise all customers to suspend operations during rainy weather in order to provide protection; do not use the container gantry cranes, and take measures to prevent rain in order to ensure their stable operation.
