When spiders are suspended outdoors for lifting operations, they are inevitably affected by the weather. Winter is cold, rainy, and snowy, so it is very important to take good care of the spider crane. This can not only improve equipment performance, but also extend its service life.
Below, we will share with you how to take care of spider cranes in rainy and snowy days.
Winter rainy and snowy weather is cold. If the diesel grade does not match the current working environment temperature, it can cause wax or freezing in the fuel circuit. Therefore, it is necessary to choose fuel correctly.
For water-cooled engines, using cooling water below freezing point will cause the cylinder block and radiator to freeze and crack. Therefore, please check and use antifreeze (coolant) in a timely manner.
If there is sudden rain or snow during the use of the spider crane, the front panel and torque display screen of the vehicle should be immediately covered and the vehicle should be quickly retracted. Subsequently, place it indoors or in other sheltered areas. It is recommended that you clean the spider crane immediately after rain and snow, and perform a comprehensive inspection and maintenance of its surface paint layer. At the same time, check if there are any short circuits, water ingress or other phenomena in the vehicle wiring. Check if there is water ingress into the exhaust pipe, and if so, clean the exhaust pipe in a timely manner.
The moisture brought by rain, snow, and water can easily lead to corrosion of metal components such as the chassis of the spider crane. It is recommended to carry out comprehensive cleaning and rust prevention treatment on the metal structure parts such as the chassis of the spider crane. Moisture can also easily cause small faults such as short circuits in the internal wiring of spider cranes. Therefore, it is recommended that you use specialized desiccants and other substances to spray on parts that are prone to problems such as wires, spark plugs, and high-voltage wires to keep them dry.
The above is the relevant knowledge about maintenance and upkeep of spider cranes in rainy and snowy days, hoping to be helpful to you.
