How to maintain the crane drum set?

The crane drum set is one of the frequently used accessories on the overhead crane, and it is easy to be damaged during long-term use. The maintenance of the crane drum set can extend the service life of the drum group and avoid the occurrence of failures.

Damaged parts of the crane drum set

The crane drum set is prone to failure due to the wear of the rope groove, or cracks in the drum body after a long period of use.

Therefore, we need to regularly check the appearance for cracks. Due to the friction between the wire rope and the groove of the reel group, the surface of the drum gradually becomes flat. When the groove is worn and the orderly arrangement of the wire rope in the groove cannot be controlled, and the groove is often skipped, a new crane drum set should be replaced.

Consequences of damage to the crane drum set

Once cracks occur, there may be a direct increase in the occurrence of danger, and through inspection, the problem can be directly discovered, and timely treatment can be carried out to avoid the occurrence and occurrence of some dangerous situations. Once there is particularly severe wear, we need to replace the new drum group in time to ensure the normal operation of the drum group.

Maintenance of the drum set

In addition to inspection work, we also need to perform regular maintenance. If we find that there is a particularly loud abnormal sound during use, this is actually a reminder for us to add lubricating oil to avoid greater wear and tear. After use, we also need to clean the tools regularly. This can actually reduce the occurrence of rust to a great extent. In addition, in daily use, the lifting weight should not exceed the rated lifting weight of the drum set, otherwise overload work will accelerate the damage of the drum set.
