What is a Crane Operator?
1 Answers
Crane operators are workers who operate overhead cranes. Overhead Crane: This is the common term people use for bridge cranes, gantry cranes, or overhead traveling cranes, which are essentially the same as standard cranes. There are basically two types of crane driving mechanisms: 1. Centralized drive: Uses one motor to drive a long transmission shaft that powers the driving wheels on both sides. 2. Independent drive: Each driving wheel on both sides is powered by its own motor. Medium and small bridge cranes often adopt an integrated "three-in-one" driving system combining the brake, reducer, and motor. For ordinary bridge cranes with large lifting capacities, universal couplings are commonly used in the driving devices to facilitate installation and adjustment.
