Autocrane
(eng. Mobile crane , crane truck) — a boom-type crane that can be equipped with tower-boom equipment and moves without cargo, requiring no special tracks and whose stability is ensured by gravity.
Truck cranes are the most common of the entire group of self-propelled jib cranes.
Automobile cranes are assembled on the chassis of mass-produced trucks with installation of front and rear outriggers on the frame to ensure stability when the crane is working with a load and increase the load capacity. They can independently move on dirt roads and overcome slopes up to 20 °..
The main advantage of truck cranes is their high mobility, which makes it possible to quickly move them to objects remote from each other. When transported by rail, it is not necessary to disassemble them, as they fit into the gauge of the railway transport..
Working equipment
The main boom equipment of truck cranes includes:
- Telescopic booms with rigid suspension.
- Lattice arrows with flexible suspension.
- Tower-boom version (abbr. BSI).
- Arrows with jib.
Interchangeable equipment includes extension sections (inserts) or retractable sections for telescopic booms, as well as booms extended with jib.
The structure of the boom equipment also includes a boom chain hoist — for raising or lowering the boom.
As a load gripping body are used:
- For work with piece cargo — hook block.
- For work with bulk cargo — grab.
Drive unit
Automobile cranes distinguish between:
- Cranes with a single-engine drive, where all mechanisms are driven by the main internal combustion engine — the chassis engine.
- Cranes with multi-motor drive, in which each mechanism is driven by its own individual engine.
The following types of drive are used in automobile cranes:
- Mechanical drive. Includes base chassis propulsion unit, power take-off, gear box, junction box, power rope drums.
- Electric. It consists of a power plant of the base chassis, a power take-off, a generator that supplies electric current to the electric motors of the crane mechanisms.
- Hydraulic. It also has a chassis power plant connected to a power take-off, hydraulic pumps, hydraulic motors and hydraulic cylinders. The hydraulic drive is compact, allows a wide range of stepless speed control, but has a low efficiency.
