What is the most important use of crane?
As the most important application of a crane, it can be used to lift or move very heavy objects and objects (which weigh from one ton to several tons). All types of cranes are used on land (such as roads, flat or uneven surfaces) and at sea. Many of these machines lift objects in a fixed way and move in specific directions (by rotating or moving up and down at specific heights). Some of them also have the possibility of carrying loads weighing several tons on urban and intercity roads or on rails.
Loading and Discharge of Loading in ports
Commercial ports are among the most important places where many financial exchanges and export and import of goods are done through them. All kinds of containers may be loaded or unloaded at the ports on giant ships that weigh several tons. For this purpose, various types of cranes with different capacities can be used in ports and beaches to load and unload cargo through sea routes. Therefore, one of the most important applications of cranes in these ports is for loading and unloading cargo. is Normally, these cargoes may be placed in containers with certain dimensions and when the ship docks, they need to be unloaded from the deck to the ground. It should be noted that these cranes are sometimes referred to as mooring or deck cranes.
Construction of residential towers
An application of a crane that is known to many city dwellers and especially those who live in the big cities of the country such as Tehran, Karaj and Isfahan is the use of a crane to carry loads and construction materials in order to advance the construction project of residential towers. and multi-storied buildings. Most of the people have seen the canvas of these cranes and the structure of the wire and pulley carrier for carrying loads from a distance. Of these cranes, which are usually They are used in construction projects and are also known as tower cranes. This category of cranes has important similarities and differences with the cranes used in ports. Both of these equipments use a similar mechanism to lift or move objects. However, the loading radius and loading power or other characteristics of the crane in these applications are different.
The use of crane for car transportation
The use of cranes that can carry personal cars is one of the simplest applications that can be mentioned in connection with the use of cranes. If you have a driver's license and you travel around the city with your own car, or if you travel with public cars, you should definitely use these cranes, which have different dimensions and load capacity with a relatively truck-like appearance. They are a trailer or a truck and you have seen damaged cars on the floor (or they are guided by lifting the front part of the car).
The use of crane on rail paths
Unlike the cranes that are used to transport cars on urban and intercity roads, there are some types of cranes that can move on rails. For this reason, they are used on railway roads, for example, on train tracks or in order to advance rail construction projects. This application is one of the special applications that many citizens may not be aware of or have not seen it closely.
Application of crane in manufacturing units
In many production units or sheds that belong to factories and production complexes, various types of cranes may be used to carry various types of goods and products or raw materials in the production process. These cranes have the ability to carry loads with different mechanisms. Some of them are known as overhead cranes. Because heavy objects are guided through the roof by these cranes. Some of them also have a mechanism similar to car cranes or normal cranes, and they are able to carry cargo inside the production units.
Application of crane to start major development projects
Starting large construction projects such as the construction of multi-storey units usually requires infrastructure and preparing the land where these units are built. Considering that the land used for the construction of the projects may have special conditions (for example, it has soft soil), it is not possible to use cranes that have tires (or it is not possible to use fixed cranes on this soil in these cases unique cranes are needed. These cranes are also known as crawlers and have a completely different appearance due to their movement mechanism, which is similar to the movement mechanism of military tanks on a metal structure instead of tires.
