Do you know that crane, which in construction and at the ports where ships are loaded / unloaded use? Cranes are machines that can lift and move heavy things, which are so big people cannot pick them up themselves. As a result, they are critical to industries such as aerospace and manufacturing. Like our homes and cars, cranes need electricity to function well. The crane conductor rail is designed to help with this!
Crane conductor rail is special metal bar to give electric power for the crane. Simply put, it can be placed directly above the crane on a ceiling, or below in case of slung cranes and installation to ground is only possible. The conductor rail supplies electricity to the major components that power and operate it, like its motor. This means that as long as the crane conductor rail is working properly, the cranes can work continuously without having to stop and charge a battery or fill up an engine.
A crane conductor rail offers many advantages to both businesses and employees. Batteries or diesel engines for powering the crane is no longer a worry with this. That is great for the environment and lessens pollution while at the same time saving energy. In the second instance, a crane conductor rail is actually a lot more trustworthy compared to batteries or diesel engines. They will not be running low on charge or cutting off in the middle of a job. Lastly, the conductor rail is easy to inspect so doesn't require too much maintenance meaning that you'll save over time.
A crane conductor rail system consists not only of a conductor itself, but also safety devices to prevent accidents. For example installation of limit switches will stop the electricity when crane reaches its limits. This can help keep the crane from becoming too heavy and tipping or even overturning, which could lead to fatal accidents for members of your crew.
The crane conductor rail can be combined with a grounding system which helps to protect the operator and other people in close proximity from electric shocks. Protection to be provided for everyone around this crane. The crane conductor rail may also be insulated to prevent electrical sparks, resulting in less risk of fire and other hazardous scenarios.
This means that versus other power sources such as batteries or diesel engines a crane conductor rail is more space saving which definitely should be seen as an added value. Depending on your need, it can either be installed in the ceiling above or ground below. If even more power capacity, reach or sensing is required just add extra extensions and upgrade the conductor rail at a later time.
The installation process is designed to have minimal impact on your business, meaning it will not be too disruptive. The installation team will be able to help you plan when the rail system should replace your old track, so this ensures that they can do what is required at a time which best suit. -meaning that you reduce downtime and keep right on working while the tugging moves smoothly up!
