An European-style crane is a bridge crane, a concept not found in the professional terminology. It is a term coined by domestic crane users to describe the reliability, versatility, and affordability of domestic cranes (derived from Soviet design and manufacturing technology), which combine the features of European cranes, such as compact structure, light weight, energy-saving, and low noise.

The concept of European cranes has emerged in the industry in recent years, aiming to differentiate from the so-called domestic, Soviet-style, and traditional cranes of the past. It primarily includes various industrial cranes such as bridge cranes, gantry cranes, jib cranes, flexible beam cranes, and explosion-proof cranes.

The European crane is designed based on the lightweight and modular European design philosophy and manufacturing techniques, resulting in a compact structure, smooth operation, reduced weight, lower height, energy saving, and cost reduction. This significantly lowers the construction costs for the crane operation facility and the crane's operational expenses, while enhancing the overall quality and performance of the crane. The European crane is poised to become the trend in crane development and the mainstream in market demand.

Main beam section

1. The main beam is designed with a square box-shaped An Kang H-type steel structure, similar to the traditional initial simple crane, but with a heavier self-weight.

2. All main welds undergo non-destructive testing.

3. The steel plate material is the commonly used domestic steel (Q235B).

4. The vertical pitch is in accordance with the Chinese National Standard.

5. All steel plates undergo shot blasting pre-treatment, equivalent to the Sa2.5 standardization, as is traditional with cranes in our country.

6. Thoroughly inspect and clean the steel plate before welding, typically performed by an automatic welding machine (MIG or semi-automatic welding).

End beam section

1. The end beam is formed by welding rectangular steel pipes or steel plates, which is then processed in a CNC machine in a single positioning operation to meet the permissible deviation range, ensuring national dimensional accuracy and fit tolerance.

2. Each end beam is equipped with wheels with double flanges, buffers, and derailment protection devices.

3. A maintenance platform (maintenance walkway) is arranged on the drive side along the main girder of the double girder crane.

4. The main beam and end beam are connected with high-tensile bolts, ensuring the whole machine's precision and smooth operation.
