What is the difference between electric gantry crane and ordinary gantry crane

There are significant differences between electric gantry cranes and ordinary gantry cranes in multiple aspects. The following is a detailed analysis by the manufacturer of Shandong gantry cranes on the differences between the two:

1、 Drive mode

Electric gantry crane: driven by electricity and powered by an electric motor, with high efficiency Advantages such as efficiency, environmental protection, and energy conservation. Electric drive makes crane operation easier while reducing noise and emissions.

Ordinary gantry crane: may use multiple driving methods, such as electricity, diesel, etc. Among them, diesel powered cranes may generate significant noise and emissions during operation.

2、 Operation and Control

Electric gantry crane: typically equipped with advanced electrical control systems, capable of precise lifting, lowering, and horizontal movement operations. The electrical system adopts advanced control technology, making operation more convenient and flexible, while improving work efficiency.

Ordinary gantry crane: The operation and control may be relatively simple, but it lacks the precision and flexibility of electric gantry cranes. In some cases, manual operation may be required to complete lifting operations.

3、 Structure and Characteristics

Electric gantry crane: The structure is more compact, usually made of steel structure, which is sturdy and durable. At the same time, electric gantry cranes also have the characteristics of strong load-bearing capacity, smooth operation, safety and reliability.

Ordinary gantry crane: The structure may be relatively simple, but it may not necessarily have the high strength and stability of an electric gantry crane. Under certain working conditions, additional reinforcement measures may be required to ensure safety.

4、 Application scope and applicability

Electric gantry crane: Due to its height The advantages of efficiency, environmental protection, and energy conservation have wide application value in multiple fields. Especially in places such as ports, docks, freight yards, and warehouses where frequent cargo loading and unloading operations are required, electric gantry cranes perform well.

Ordinary gantry crane: Although it is also suitable for various occasions, it may not be as tall as electric gantry crane under certain specific conditions Efficiency and environmental protection. For example, in situations where strict control of noise and emissions is required, ordinary gantry cranes may be restricted.

5、 Maintenance and upkeep

Electric gantry crane: The electrical system is complex and requires regular maintenance and upkeep to ensure its normal operation. This includes checking whether the wiring of electrical components is secure and whether the insulation is good. At the same time, it is necessary to keep the transmission components clean and lubricated, as well as check the performance of the brake and the smoothness of the track.

Ordinary gantry cranes: Although they also require maintenance and upkeep, their maintenance costs may be lower compared to electric gantry cranes. This is mainly because the structure of ordinary gantry cranes is relatively simple, and the electrical system is not as complex as that of electric gantry cranes.
