Overhead Crane Failures and Repair: Essential Solutions for Metal Structures and Travel Mechanisms

February 15, 2025

Lifting machinery inevitably experiences aging and wear during use, leading to various failures. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of overhead crane failures and repairs, including fatigue cracks and deformations in the metal structure, as well as skewed travel and rail gnawing in the travel mechanism. By understanding these failures and their solutions, maintenance efficiency and overhead crane reliability can be significantly improved.

Fatigue cracks in the main girder web or cover plateOverload for long timeFor cracks less than or equal to 0.1 mm, use a grinding wheel to smooth them out. For larger cracks, drill holes larger than Φ 8 mm at both ends of the crack, then create a 60° groove along both sides of the crack and perform welding repairs. For critical load-bearing components, reinforce the repaired area with additional plates to ensure strength.
Wave-like deformation in the main girder webOverloading, causing local instability of the web plateUse flame straightening to correct the deformation. Use hammering to relieve internal stresses. Strictly prohibit overloading in the future.
Side bending of the main girderCombined working stresses, improper transportation, or storageUse flame straightening by heating the convex side of the main girder, and apply appropriate jacks and pulling tools as needed.
Main girder sinking deformationStructural stress in the main girder, wave-like deformation of the web plate, overloading, thermal effects, improper storage or transportation, and other factorsUse the prestressing method for correction. After flame straightening, reinforce the lower cover plate of the main girder with channel steel.
