Tower crane technology trends (1)

Design method precision.

Deepening the development of computer technology has changed the tower crane design. Finite element technique, fatigue analysis, dynamic simulation analysis extensive application of tower  gantry crane  design calculations, stress analysis more precise, tower crane parts, structure design more reasonable; several powerful tower crane manufacturer, has their superior design capabilities, they take advantage of the development of tower cranes parametric design special software to make the tower crane design to further optimize the direction of advance, effectively improve tower crane product safety, reliability, energy saving effect while greatly shorten product development cycles,bridge gantry crane improve competitiveness.


Modular components.

The modular design may slight increase in manufacturing costs, but it can not only improve the yield and quality, but also can reduce management costs, but also correspondingly reduce the user acquisition costs. Models such as A and B models have many structural components (such as the standard section and the boom sections, the balance arm section) is generic, then the user can buy less common structure, staggered use of these common parts may idle , thereby reducing the cost of ownership. Thus, the modular design is the inevitable trend of development of tower cranes, tower hoist gantry crane  many international manufacturers such as Liebherr, Potain, Terex, Wolffkran are all modular design of the model.
