10 Ton Gantry Crane Mongolia | FEM Single Girder Crane on Uneven Ground

Short Video Description

This video shows the installation of a 10 ton single girder gantry crane in a Mongolia workshop where the existing ground conditions are uneven. The crane is designed for indoor material handling and uses a ground-travelling gantry structure instead of relying on an existing overhead crane runway.

The 10 ton FEM single girder gantry crane is designed with a welded main girder, gantry legs, end carriages, wheels and an electric wire rope hoist. The crane travels on ground rails installed and aligned according to the actual workshop conditions.

Installing a single girder gantry crane on uneven ground requires more than simply placing the crane rails on the existing floor. Rail elevation, gauge, straightness, wheel load, foundation condition and crane travelling stability must be checked before commissioning. For this Mongolia workshop application, the installation arrangement is adapted to the actual site rather than assuming a perfectly level floor.

The 10 ton gantry crane in Mongolia demonstrates how a custom gantry crane can be engineered for workshops with difficult floor conditions. The main technical parameters include lifting capacity, span, lifting height, rail gauge, travelling distance, duty class, wheel load, rail foundation, power supply and working environment.

Main Technical Specifications

10 Ton Gantry Crane Installation on Uneven Ground

A 10 ton gantry crane installed on uneven ground requires careful attention to the rail system. The crane itself is designed to travel on two parallel rails, so the rail elevation and gauge must remain within the specified installation tolerances even when the original workshop floor is not level.

The existing concrete floor should therefore be inspected before installation. Depending on the site condition, the rail system may require rail foundation adjustment, steel support structures, concrete leveling or localized foundation reinforcement.

The objective is not necessarily to make the entire workshop floor perfectly level. Instead, the crane travelling rails must be installed and aligned to the required engineering tolerances. The crane's wheel loads are then transferred through the rail system to the supporting foundation.

For a 10 ton single girder gantry crane on uneven workshop ground, Yuantai Crane considers the rail elevation, rail gauge, longitudinal straightness, wheel load, gantry leg stability and travelling mechanism together during installation.

FEM Single Girder Gantry Crane for Mongolia Workshop

The FEM single girder gantry crane is designed according to the required load spectrum and working frequency. FEM classification helps define the mechanical design requirements for the hoisting and travelling equipment based on how frequently and how heavily the crane is expected to operate.

For a 10 ton FEM gantry crane, the correct FEM class should not be selected only because the crane has a 10 ton lifting capacity. A 10 ton crane used occasionally for maintenance has different requirements from a 10 ton crane operating continuously in a production workshop.

Yuantai Crane can select the appropriate FEM classification, hoist type, travelling mechanism, motor configuration and structural design according to the actual load spectrum and working cycle.

Installation Process for a 10 Ton Gantry Crane on Uneven Workshop Ground

Why Is Rail Alignment Important for an Uneven Ground Gantry Crane?

The wheels of a single girder gantry crane must travel smoothly along the two crane rails. Excessive difference in rail elevation, gauge or straightness can increase wheel reactions and affect travelling performance.

For a 10 ton gantry crane, this becomes increasingly important because the crane wheel loads can be significant. Poor rail alignment may cause uneven wheel loading, travelling resistance, rail wear and additional stress on the gantry structure.

Yuantai Crane therefore treats the crane structure and rail installation as a complete system. The final rail arrangement is based on the calculated wheel loads and the actual workshop foundation conditions.

10 Ton Gantry Crane for Cold Climate in Mongolia

Mongolia can have severe winter conditions, so a crane installed in a Mongolian workshop may require a configuration suitable for low ambient temperatures. The actual minimum design temperature should be confirmed for the project location and operating schedule.

For cold-weather applications, Yuantai Crane can review motor starting performance, lubricant selection, electrical components, cable flexibility, steel material selection and control system requirements according to the specified operating temperature.

The crane should also be protected from conditions that may cause water, snow or ice to accumulate around the travelling rails and mechanical components. The final configuration is selected according to the actual workshop environment rather than using one standard cold-weather package for every Mongolia project.
