Advantages of Tripod Cranes

Tripods are designed for use in almost all industries, from filmmaking and furniture to military and construction. The tripod can also be used as a light and highly portable crane, which can walk and stand in places where other lifting equipment cannot move and stand.

The tripod crane is the perfect lifting solution for locations that cannot be reached by cranes or forklifts or where there is no overhead lifting structure. Equipped with adjustable telescopic legs, the tripod crane is also ideal for uneven terrain and can be adjusted to the height required for any work. Easy to transport One of the biggest advantages of a tripod crane is its portability. Their telescopic legs mean that they can be folded into a small enough size to be easily transported from one site to another. The lightweight steel and aluminum structure also makes the tripod crane light enough to be carried by one or two people and can be installed quickly and easily.

Tripod cranes are an excellent choice for many outdoor lifting needs because they can easily travel to locations where forklifts cannot reach and cannot be equipped with a permanent overhead crane lifting system. They can also be adapted to small spaces where gantry cranes of similar capacity cannot be manipulated. The telescopic legs can easily adjust the height of the tripod crane, so you can use it for various applications with different height requirements. All-terrain cranes Another benefit of tripod cranes is their all-terrain capabilities. Yuantai Industrial Tripod Cranes can be equipped with standard aluminum flat feet, which allows them to be used on all hard surfaces. The tripod can also be equipped with mud feet for use on soft ground. The mud feet have nails, which can firmly fix the legs on the soft ground, and the flanges can prevent the nails from sinking too deep into the ground. The feet are interchangeable for maximum versatility, allowing the crane to be used on any surface required for work. The interchangeable feet also help make the tripod crane ideal for use on uneven ground. If you are working on an unpaved surface that is not completely level, you can adjust the telescopic legs to keep the crane level while the mud feet hold it firmly in place.

In addition, standard aluminum feet can be used to keep the crane level on uneven ground on hard surfaces such as sidewalk edges. Suitable cranes Yuantai industrial tripod cranes are available in steel structure and aluminum structure, with a lifting capacity of 1 ton or 2 ton. All Spanco industrial tripod cranes are equipped with a 6-inch incremental height adjustment device, with a minimum height range of 5'2” to 8'7” and a maximum height range of 8'7” to 13' 9”. They are also equipped with a cable binding kit to prevent the legs from spreading. Whenever you have material handling work to do, it is important to use the right crane.

When a permanent system can be installed, permanent overhead lifting equipment is a good solution. Mobile gantry cranes are very suitable for work in different locations where permanent fixed equipment cannot be used. However, when you need a light, portable lifting system that can fit into a small space, a tripod crane is the perfect solution.
