In May 2024, our company received an inquiry from a customer in San Diego. The customer simply told us that he needed a cantilever crane. Through repeated communication between our business personnel and the customer, we learned about the materials and work frequency that the customer needed to lift. In view of the above situation, the customer finally chose a column cantilever. Our technicians designed the product drawings according to the customer's existing needs. Finally, the two parties reached an agreement, signed a contract, and put it into production.

Cantilever crane is a common lifting equipment, mainly composed of the following main parts: 

Cantilever beam (arm): responsible for carrying heavy objects, a cantilever structure that can rotate up and down and telescope forward and backward.

Main frame: the main structure that supports the cantilever beam and can rotate left and right.

Wire rope and pulley: used to lift and move heavy objects.

Manipulator: controls the movement of the cantilever boom. 

The cantilever crane is characterized by simple structure, small footprint, strong flexibility, and can flexibly lift and displace heavy objects. It is widely used in various factories, warehouses, and port loading and unloading occasions, and is an indispensable and important equipment for modern industrial production. When using it, you need to comply with relevant safety operating procedures to ensure operational safety.

Main features of column-type cantilever crane:

Support structure: It is composed of a single or multiple columns, providing a stable support structure. This structure is suitable for occasions where lifting operations need to be completed in a fixed position.

Rotation mechanism: The cantilever beam can rotate around the vertical axis of the column to provide a larger working radius.

Lifting mechanism: The cantilever beam can be lifted up and down to achieve lifting at different heights.

Good stability: Compared with bridge cranes, column-type structures can provide better stability and overturning resistance.

Applicable occasions: Commonly used in factory workshops, warehousing and logistics centers, port terminals and other occasions that require centralized lifting.

Flexible layout: Single column type can be arranged nearby, and multiple column types can be flexibly arranged according to site needs.

When using, it is necessary to reasonably select the column height, arm length and hanging weight capacity, do a good job of basic design and safety protection measures to ensure the safe use of equipment.

Column cantilever cranes are widely used in those industries: 

Factory manufacturing:

Applicable to material handling and equipment loading and unloading in factory workshops such as mechanical processing, metal products, and automobile manufacturing.

The position and working range of the cantilever crane can be flexibly set according to the layout of the production line.

Warehousing and logistics industry:

Applicable to cargo loading and unloading and handling operations in warehouses, distribution centers and other places.

Convenient for centralized management and improved work efficiency.

Port and terminal industry:

Used for loading and unloading of bulk cargo, containers and other items in seaports and inland ports.

Can be installed on the dock or the boarding bridge to improve loading and unloading efficiency.

Construction field:

Applicable to material lifting and equipment installation in various construction sites.

Provide flexible and reliable support and lifting capacity in limited space.

Mining industry:

Used for ore loading and unloading, equipment maintenance and other operations at open-pit mining sites in mines.

Meet the lifting needs of large tonnage and large spans.

Electric power, petrochemical and other industries:

Applicable to equipment installation and maintenance of process units such as power plants and refineries.

Can meet the needs of high-altitude operations and large-scale lifting.

In general, column-type cantilever cranes are widely used in many industrial fields due to their flexibility, stability and large-tonnage operating capacity. They are a widely used general lifting equipment.
