Shipbuilding gantry cranes play a critical role in modern shipyard operations, particularly for handling large ship segments during assembly and flipping tasks. These cranes are engineered for heavy-duty operations, featuring substantial lifting capacities, expansive spans, and remarkable lifting heights.
Key Features of Shipbuilding Gantry Cranes
High Lifting Capacity:
Shipbuilding gantry cranes are designed to lift weights starting from 100 tons and can reach up to an impressive 2500 tons, meeting the demands of large-scale ship construction.
Large Span and Height:
The span often exceeds 40 meters, reaching up to 230 meters, while the height ranges from 40 to 100 meters, accommodating massive ship structures.
Dual Trolley System:
These cranes are equipped with two trolleys—upper and lower. The lower trolley can traverse beneath the upper trolley, allowing coordinated operations for complex tasks such as flipping and aligning ship sections.
Rigid and Flexible Leg Design:
To handle the extensive span, one leg is rigidly connected to the main beam, while the other uses a flexible hinge connection. This design ensures structural stability during operations.
Specialized Functions
Shipbuilding gantry cranes are equipped to perform a range of tasks, including:
Single-hook and dual-hook lifting.
Triple-hook operations for precise flipping of ship segments.
Horizontal micro-movements for fine-tuning alignments during assembly.
Secondary hooks for smaller components.
Applications in Shipyards
These cranes are essential for assembling large ship sections, performing mid-air rotations, and aligning parts with unmatched accuracy. Their robust construction and versatility make them a cornerstone of shipyard productivity.
