Side Loader Crane is a special type of truck crane, mainly used for loading and unloading goods from the side. It is suitable for narrow spaces or scenarios that require efficient lateral operations.
The following are its application scenarios and operation skills:
1. Core features of side crane/ Características principales de la grúa lateral
1). Lateral operation: The boom can be extended horizontally, which is suitable for working in narrow lanes, warehouses or against walls.
2). Save space: The vehicle does not need to face the cargo, reducing turning radius requirements.
3). Efficient loading and unloading: Especially suitable for the rapid handling of standardized goods (such as containers, pallets, and long materials).
2. Main application scenarios/Principales escenarios de aplicación
1). Logistics and warehousing
o Loading and unloading of palletized cargo, containers (commonly found in ports or logistics centers).
o Perform lateral handling in narrow aisles between racks.
2). City delivery
o Unload sideways in crowded streets or alleys to avoid occupying lanes.
3). Construction sites
o Lift long materials such as steel bars and pipes and deliver them directly from the side into the construction area.
4). Special transportation
o Such as lifting large equipment (transformers, machine tools) sideways to a designated location.
3. Operation skills and precautions/Habilidades operativas y precauciones
1). Preparation before operation/Preparación antes de la operación
• Equipment inspection: Before operation, the side-lifting equipment should be thoroughly inspected to ensure that the equipment is in good condition, safe and reliable.
• Work site inspection: A safety inspection should be carried out on the work site before the work is started to ensure that the work site is safe and tidy.
• Site assessment: Make sure there is enough space to deploy the boom from the side and avoid obstacles (such as power lines, walls).
• Outrigger adjustment: Some side cranes need to be used with outriggers to enhance lateral stability.
• Preparation of operation plan: Prepare a detailed side-lift operation plan based on operation requirements, clarify the operation process, safety measures, etc.
• Staffing: Based on operational requirements, sufficient number of staff should be assigned and the responsibilities of each position should be clearly defined.
• Warning signs: Set up warning signs to remind passers-by to pay attention to safety.
2). During the hoisting process:/Durante el proceso de izado:
• Perform lifting strictly according to the operation plan to ensure the lifting process is safe and stable.
• Hoisted objects should be tied securely to prevent them from falling off during the hoisting process.
• Lifting objects should be done slowly, avoiding sudden acceleration or deceleration.
• The hoisted objects should be kept balanced to avoid damage or accidents caused by tilting.
• During the lifting process of hoisting objects, it is strictly prohibited for personnel to enter under the hoisted objects.
3). Key points for lateral lifting/Puntos clave para el levantamiento lateral
• Balance control: Lateral force can easily cause the vehicle’s center of gravity to shift, so operate slowly and observe the inclination of the vehicle body.
• Limit protection: prohibit overloading or excessive lateral extension to prevent hydraulic system overload or rollover.
• Collaborative work: Cooperate with the signalman’s command to avoid the crane arm from colliding with surrounding facilities.
4). Response to special circumstances/Respuesta a circunstancias especiales
• Wind influence: The lateral wind-exposed area is large and operations should be suspended when the wind speed is >8m/s.
• Soft road surface: Steel plates are placed under the outriggers to prevent sinking
4. Purchase suggestions/Sugerencias de compra
1). Tonnage selection: Select according to the weight of the goods (commonly 3T~20T).
2). Boom type:
o Folding arm: suitable for space-constrained scenarios (such as warehouses).
o Telescopic arm: provides wider coverage but requires more operating space.
3). Additional functions:
o Rotating platform (360° rotation) and automatic leveling system can improve efficiency.
o Anti-collision sensor (for intensive working environments).
5. Summary/Resumen
With the advantage of lateral operation, the side crane is irreplaceable in the fields of logistics, urban distribution, etc. During operation, strict attention should be paid to lateral stability and safety limit. Reasonable selection can greatly improve loading and unloading efficiency.
Las grúas laterales son insustituibles en la logística, la distribución urbana y otros campos debido a sus ventajas de operación lateral. Durante el funcionamiento, se debe prestar estricta atención a la estabilidad lateral y a los límites de seguridad. Una selección razonable puede mejorar en gran medida la eficiencia de carga y descarga.
