In order to avoid the difficulty or safety accident of the gantry crane caused by skidding, we first analyze the causes of skidding and then provide corresponding solutions.

1.The wheel pressure is too small

Calculate the load capacity and wheel load capacity of the gantry crane correctly, and use anti-skid chains to fix the tires that are easy to slip. This is done to increase the friction between the tire and the ground, thereby reducing the chance of slipping.

2. The power of the selected motor is too large, and the driving force is greater than the friction between the wheel and the track.

Choose a matching motor, no matter how large or too small.

3. The brake braking torque is too large, and the braking time is too short.

The braking time should be appropriate.

Here we remind everyone that, for safety reasons, gantry cranes operating in the open air should be deactivated on rainy days and rainproof measures should be taken. When the weather is good, the rainwater should be cleaned during operation to keep the gantry crane in working condition to ensure that the lifting task can be completed safely and stably.

In summary, the gantry crane wheels are prone to slippery on rainy days, which affects the normal work. Therefore, it is recommended that everyone can take precautions to deal with emergencies.
