Can the tray be installed at the tower factory and then sent to the construction site?
The support components must be welded at the manufacturing plant, while the tray is supplied separately for installation on-site.
Trays are generally manufactured by specialized manufacturers and supplied directly to the owner for on-site installation.
Tower trays are generally manufactured by specialized manufacturers. Depending on the owner’s requirements, they can be sent to the tower manufacturer for installation, or transported to the owner’s site for installation. The components of the single tower tray support system that are welded directly to the tower body must be welded at the tower manufacturer’s facility before they can be sent to the owner
Agreed; if tray and other internal components of the tower are installed, they may become deformed or cracked during transportation due to shocks and their own weight
It can be pre-assembled, but since the transportation process affects aspects such as the levelness of the trays and the gaps between them, installation must be carried out on-site.
The tray can be transported to the installation site later, but it needs to be taken to the tower manufacturing plant in advance for welding work before welding.
Generally, the fixing components are welded by the tower manufacturer, while the tray plates are installed on-site. If they are installed in advance, first, as mentioned earlier, it is possible to pre-assemble them; however, the transportation process can affect the levelness and gaps of the tray plates, so installation must be carried out on-site”； Furthermore, lifting on-site increases the load on the crane, which for some large equipment leads to significantly higher installation costs, far exceeding those of on-site installation of tower trays.
After the equipment is in place and installed, the tray can be installed afterward to ensure levelness.
