Tower cranes are able to have a maximum unsupported height of 80m or 265 feet. The maximum lifting capacity of a tower crane is 16,642 kilograms or 39,690 pounds with counter weights of 20 tons. In addition, two limit switches are utilized to be able to ensure the operator does not overload the crane. There is even one more safety feature called a load moment switch to make certain that the operator does not surpass the ton meter load rating. Finally, the maximum reach of a tower crane is 70 meters or two hundred thirty feet.
Due to their extreme heights, there is a science involved to erecting a crane. The stationary structure would at first need to be brought to the construction site by utilizing a huge tractor-trailer rig setup. Then, a mobile crane is used so as to assemble the machine portion of the crane and the jib. After that, these sections are connected to the mast. The mobile crane next adds counterweights. Crawler cranes and forklifts may be a few of the other industrial machinery which is commonly utilized to erect a crane.
Mast extensions are added to the crane as the building is erected. This is how the height of the crane is able to match the building's height. The crane crew uses what is referred to as a climbing frame or a top climber which fits between the top of the mast and the slewing unit. A weight is hung on the jib by the work crew in order to balance the counterweight. Once complete, the slewing unit is able to detach from the top of the mast. In the top climber, hydraulic rams are utilized to adjust the slewing unit up an additional 20 feet or 6.1m. Next, the driver of the crane utilizes the crane to insert and bolt into place another mast section piece.
A "loaded container" by definition is a container other than in the empty or tare condition, in reference to container handling. Unless otherwise confirmed, containers should be treated as loaded. In order to maintain safety, when handling or securing containers, environmental conditions like wind must be taken into account. The term loaded is the maximum gross weigh rating of the container. So as to make certain that the centre of gravity is kept as low and central as possible, the load has to be distributed all over the container.
Having an evenly distributed load it is beneficial to avoid lack of vehicle stability, and excessive tilting, in order to maintain safety. A cargo which is even helps to prevent unacceptable vehicle axle loading, and unacceptable load concentrations.
With the load distribution in the container, the eccentricity of the center of gravity varies. It is very essential that the designers of containers and handling machines take this into account during the engineering process. Like for example, when 60 percent of the load by mass is distributed in fifty percent of the length of the container measured from one end of the equipment, the eccentricity corresponds to 5%.
Make certain that the container is free to be handled and care has to be taken to make certain it is safely attached to the container, in order to make sure that the equipment used is perfect for the cargo. Particular attention mus be paid to the possibility of the container tilting due to the eccentricity of the center of gravity. When raising any container whose centre of gravity is eccentric or mobile, such as a bulk container, a tank container or a container with a liquid bulk bag or a thermal container with a refrigerating unit, either clip on or integral, or any container with a hanging load, great care should be taken when raising these.
