Thứ ba, 10/05/2022, 10:53 GMT+7

If you can remember the construction of the largest Giza Pyramid in Egypt, you will clearly see the support cranes that brought to this world. Earlier, this project was built by hand. They had to transport 25 to 80 tons of granite stones for more than 800 km without using any machinery. Just imagine, they only depend on trolleys to lift and move heavy stones. In the current world, that type of building will be easier and will take a shorter time. The crane equipment has brought about sanity in handling the heavy work, if not a nightmare for humans.

There are different types of cranes used for different types of lifting work. Each crane is specific to a given job. If you are having a construction project, you will most likely need different types of cranes. Therefore, because it would be quite expensive to buy different types, renting a crane became the best option. In that case, this article will discuss the different types of cranes used in their construction, applications, benefits and anything else you need to know about them. Therefore, after reading this, you will be in a better position to choose the best crane for your construction needs.

TYPE OF CRANE CRANE IN VIETNAM

The following are the different types of cranes used in construction and their most suitable task.

1. TOWER CRANE

CẨU THÁP

Tower cranes are the most commonly used cranes. Developed in Europe, popular tower cranes have grown all over the world. They are mainly used in the construction of tall buildings and buildings. That's because they are designed to work as high as 80m. Their lifting capacity is approximately equal to 20 tons. When used, they are fixed to the ground by a very strong concrete base. They are then anchored by large bolts to allow easy disassembling and transporting when the construction is completed.

2. CRANE-MOUNTED CRANE IN TRUCK

Truck mounted cranes with a maximum lifting capacity of 3 - 15 tons in Vietnam allow easy on-road movement, flexibility in crane cargo and transport. Remember that cranes are only needed on site for a certain period of time after which they are taken to another location. Actually most cranes are mounted on vehicles for the same reason. However, if the type of construction you are doing will require heavy cranes, then this option will not be suitable.

Now, not every car fits this kind of work. For starters, the wheels of such trucks should be made of rubber to avoid wear faster. The other thing is the basis of the car. It must be provided with quick-rising feet to stabilize the crane during work.

3. TIRE CAKE CRANE

This type of wheel crane is a unique type of crane mounted on specialized vehicle platform. Because it is mounted on a car with rubber tires, it can move easily on both paved roads and rough terrain. Rough terrain cranes are a special crane that has a larger number of wheels than conventional vehicles. It is designed like this to help balance the vehicle without being overturned even in rough terrain. For this type of crane, overhangs are used to ensure its stability.

Currently, the number of wheel cranes for rent at UMAC is large. The wide load range has the largest wheel-mounted cranes up to 500 tons. Made in Kato - Japan.

4. CRANE IN SHIPS

Floating cranes are especially useful in constructing ports and bridges. They have also been used to load and unload ships. Their capacity can reach 9,000 tons. Therefore, they are also useful if a ship sinks in water. They can help lift it out of the water.
Other types of floating cranes are often used in water construction sites. For example, when building a dam, a bridge or a gate, you will need a specific floating crane. To use it, you will have to install it on special barges or on pontoons.
These types of cranes floating on the water like this are very rare in Vietnam, instead, users often use crawler cranes and placed on moving barges and cranes at sea easily.

5. CRAWLER CRANE

These are mobile cranes in a narrow range that require load stability. Crawler cranes with lifting capacity from 40 tons to 3500 tons. While mobile crawler cranes at the construction site, to move from one location to another, they will need to be disassembled and loaded onto trucks for transport. In Vietnam, UMac owned crawler cranes rental currently amount to 1200 tons. Suitable for every project, big project.

6. CRANE IN AERIAL

The overhead crane is used exclusively for medium load lifting. They are helicopters that are essential and that is why they are useful in cases where conventional cranes cannot provide them. Moreover, overhead cranes are very useful in disaster relief and disaster relief programs at the construction site.

The crane mainly helps in lifting very heavy objects that would otherwise be impossible for humans. Before you start working with a crane, it is important to get some training. This will help protect you from accidents. Employers should also take necessary measures to protect workers. Think about it, if an employee falls from a tower crane it could be his end. Therefore, to avoid loss of life, appropriate training and safety measures of crane users should be considered.
