Rubber-tyred container gantry cranes play an important role in port operations, but due to their complex operating environment, large equipment and high operating requirements, a series of safety precautions must be strictly followed to ensure personnel safety and normal operation of equipment.

 

1. Before operation
The driver must conduct a comprehensive and detailed inspection of the crane. Check whether the tire pressure is normal, whether there is damage or excessive wear, because the tire condition directly affects the driving stability and carrying capacity of the crane. At the same time, check whether the bolts of each transmission component and connection part are tightened to prevent loosening during operation and other dangerous situations such as component shedding. It is also necessary to test the braking system of the lifting, trolley and car to ensure that their braking performance is good to avoid failure to stop in time during lifting and moving. In addition, the inspection of the electrical system should not be ignored. It is necessary to ensure that each controller, indicator light and limit switch can work normally to prevent the operation from being out of control due to electrical failure.

 

2. During operation
During operation, the driver must strictly follow the operating procedures. When lifting a container, ensure that the lifting device is firmly connected to the container and is in the correct position. The lifting speed should be stable and moderate to avoid sudden start and stop, which may cause the container to shake or fall. When the truck and car are moving, observe whether there are obstacles on the driving path in advance, and pay attention to controlling the speed to prevent collisions with other equipment, vehicles or personnel. It is strictly forbidden to stand or stay under the crane arm, and the extension and rotation range of the crane arm should also be kept alert to prevent accidents. At the same time, always pay attention to the load of the crane, and it is strictly forbidden to overload the operation to avoid exceeding the load limit of the equipment, causing structural damage or even collapse accidents.

3. After the operation
The crane should be parked in the designated position and the crane arm should be retracted to a safe state. Turn off the power and pull the brake device to prevent the crane from causing danger due to accidental movement. In addition, it is necessary to carry out daily maintenance work on the crane, regularly check and replace vulnerable parts, promptly discover and eliminate potential safety hazards, ensure that the equipment is always in good operating condition, and be fully prepared for the next operation.

 

In short, the safe operation of rubber-tyred container gantry cranes is related to the safety of life and property. Every operator should always maintain a high level of safety awareness, strictly abide by various safety regulations, operate carefully, and ensure the safe and efficient operation.
