The key differences in safety requirements between mobile gantry cranes and stationary overhead cranes are primarily
1, Operator Training:
1) Mobile Gantry Cranes:
a) Operators must be trained on the specific controls, features, and safe operating procedures for the mobile gantry crane model.
b) Training must also cover proper crane setup, leveling, and stabilization procedures for each work site.
c) Operators need to be skilled in maneuvering the crane and navigating obstacles during relocation.
2) Stationary Overhead Cranes:
a) Operator training can be more standardized, as the crane's location and work environment remain fixed.
b) Training focuses more on the crane's specific controls, load handling, and safety features.
c) Less emphasis is placed on relocation and setup procedures.
2, Site Preparation:
1) Mobile Gantry Cranes:
a) Each work site must be carefully assessed and prepared to ensure the ground/surface can safely support the crane's weight and loads.
b) Leveling, compaction, and stabilization of the crane's foundation are critical to prevent tipping or uneven loading.
c) Obstacles, uneven terrain, and other site-specific factors must be accounted for during crane positioning and operations.
2) Stationary Overhead Cranes:
a) The crane's foundation and supporting structure are designed, engineered, and constructed specifically for the fixed installation site.
b) Site preparation is more straightforward, as the crane's location and operating environment remain constant.
c) Less emphasis is placed on adapting the site to accommodate the crane's mobility and setup requirements.
In summary, the increased mobility and variability of work environments for mobile gantry cranes necessitates more comprehensive operator training and more rigorous site preparation compared to stationary overhead cranes. This ensures the safe setup, operation, and relocation of the mobile crane at each work site.
