The main structural components of a truck crane include the following parts:
Frame: The frame of a truck crane is a heavy-duty frame structure made of steel plates and steel bars. It is the main body of the entire truck crane and bears the weight of each component.
Motor and hydraulic motor: The motor and hydraulic motor are the core power components of a truck crane. The motor provides power to drive the crane, while the hydraulic motor is responsible for providing the lifting and rotation power of the truck crane.
Wheel: Installed on the frame, the crane is driven by the power provided by the hydraulic motor.
Hook: A key component for lifting goods, made of steel, with high strength and corrosion resistance.
Boom: A mechanical arm used for lifting, turning, rotating and telescoping, consisting of multiple steel pipes and hydraulic cylinders, capable of carrying huge weight.
Cab: The control center of the truck crane, equipped with various equipment and tools, including joysticks, display screens and monitoring equipment, etc.
Chassis: The chassis of a truck crane is usually a truck chassis. Optional brands include Dongfeng, Jiefang, Auman, Steyr, Tangjun, etc.
Crane: The crane is the main working part of the truck crane. It can be divided into straight-arm crane and folding-arm crane by type. Straight-arm crane has a simple structure, easy operation, and relatively low price, which is suitable for construction operations in a wide range of fields; folding-arm crane takes up less space, has a fast movement speed, but has a complex structure, high operating technology requirements, and a high price.
Cargo box: The cargo box of the truck crane is used to load cargo, and can be equipped with cargo compartments of different lengths as needed.
Outrigger: It is divided into front outriggers and rear outriggers, which are used to keep the crane stable and stable and enhance safety performance. There are two types of rear outriggers: fixed and movable. The movable outriggers have a larger span and higher safety.
Power take-off device: The power take-off device converts the engine power into hydraulic energy, driving the hydraulic cylinder, motor and other actuators to realize various actions of the crane.
Operating mechanism: It includes the vehicle boarding and disembarking control valves and the operating handles installed on both sides of the frame. The operator operates according to the signs.
Hydraulic system: It includes hydraulic oil tanks, hydraulic pumps, hydraulic cylinders, etc., which are used to drive various actions of the truck crane.
These components work together to enable the truck crane to complete the lifting tasks efficiently and stably in various working environments.
