Yuantai Crane can supply a variety of motors, including hoist motors and crane motors. Crane motors are classified into the following types:

Crane motors include the following: Sevo crane motors, Stepping crane motors, Torque crane motors, Switched reluctance crane motors, Brush-less DC crane motors, DC crane motors, Asynchronous crane motors, and so on.

Crane motors come from a variety of well-known brands in China and other countries. We offer a variety of motor brands to meet your specific needs, including Jiamusi, Jiangxi Special Motors, Siemens, ABB, SEW, and others. We recommend the appropriate brand motors and models based on the cranes you have. For example, ZDS motors for MD hoists and ZDY motors for electric hoists.

ZDS Motor for overhead cranes

ZDS Motor:

  • MD Hoist.
  • A ZDS double speed motor cluster is a composite motor formed by a low speed drive device connecting two awl rotor three-phase asynchronous motors.
  • The high-power motor is the main motor, and the low-power motor is the auxiliary motor. As a result, ZDS has two speeds: high and low.
  • ZDS is a horizontal motor with a footless seat and a cone brake.
  • It has the ability to restart frequently.

ZDY Motor:

ZDY Motor:

  • Scope of Application: Electric Hoists
  • Three-phase asynchronous motor with a conical rotor.
  • Using an automatic braking device.
  • Applies to trolleys equipped with an electric hoist and cranes.
  • This applies to a drive device that requires a low starting torque and a smooth brake.
  • It is self-cooled and has a front cover that connects to a flange.
  • Stator: excellent moisture-proofing and thermal stability, with an insulation class of B.
  • Rotor: Smooth operation with minimal vibration.

Benifits of lifting crane motorization

Workstation Bridge Cranes, Gantry Cranes, and Jib Cranes from Yuantai Crane may all be manually controlled to offer the customer outstanding material handling services. However, the end user could find that a manual crane is difficult to use in some circumstances. A person could be put in risk if they try to move the weight manually if it is hard to access. A manual crane might not be able to make the precise maneuvers needed to get around obstacles if the work zone is crowded with them. Alternatively, a manual operator might not be able to move the weight if it is too heavy or unbalanced. These are all typical situations that industrial settings encounter on a daily basis. And in these situations, motorizing the hoisting crane could be the ideal solution.

With a few crucial adjustments, motorized cranes can streamline a shop's operations. After being raised, some loads are difficult to push manually. This might be because of the load's size, weight, shape, or position, etc. These difficulties can be eliminated by a motor on a bridge or jib crane, which enables the operator to move a weight using a connected controller. The operator can remotely move a load that would otherwise be challenging or unsafe due to its size and bulk with the help of the controller (or pendant).

Another frequent occurrence is the presence of several impediments and obstructions in workspaces. Manually moving a cargo through these crowded working settings can be difficult and risky. The ability to remotely handle a load with precision and accuracy is one benefit of motorizing a crane. This will assist in avoiding the obstacles that a manually controlled crane would find difficult to maneuver around.

Which type of c ranes can be motorized?

Not all the gantry cranes can be motorized. These are mostly design restrictions placed on the crane. Your Yuantai Crane representative can point you in the direction of a comparable crane with motor capabilities if the crane you're contemplating doesn't support one. The following is a list of the motorized cranes for reference:

Yuantai Crane  motorized  overhead crane designs

An very cost-effective solution to your material handling issues is to use motorized overhead cranes. Knowing the assembly technical abilities can help you save money when an overhead crane is required to place on an existing runway or to construct an altogether new building.

Casting plants, coil handling facilities, foundries, large fabrication and stamping facilities, large tool and die facilities, steel warehouses, steel mills, paper mills, etc. are a few applications for 15 Ton to 80 Ton Heavy Duty Motorized Crane Kits.

What are the requirements to motorize a crane?

The above-mentioned cranes do not have motorization as a standard feature; it is an optional add-on. It's crucial that the Yuantai Crane dealer discusses the benefits and drawbacks of motorizing the crane during discovery so that the end user has the option to make the request. The motors' convenience lies in the fact that they can be placed at a later time than the crane. The end user may still proceed with the crane installation even if they haven't decided whether to motorize.

A Yuantai Crane Workstation Bridge Crane requires just minor disassembly to install a motor. It is also possible to retrofit an existing jib crane with an RDU Kit to change it from a manual crane to a motorized crane jib.

The next step is to ask a licensed electrician for assistance when the end user has decided to add a motor. Different voltages are needed by motors, and these voltages must be connected to 60 Hz and three phases of power in a certain way. The motherboard and its components may be harmed by a wiring short-circuit brought on by improper connections. The wiring variations will vary according on the crane's power source and kind. The right electrical connections can only be safely identified by a licensed electrician, who will also make sure that your motor is functioning safely and according to plan.

Motor Maintenance

The motorized drive enclosures from Yuantai Crane are NEMA 4 rated. This certification confirms that the motor's electrical components are protected by a housing unit that can endure sporadic washdowns or contact with cutter coolant. A swing door is a feature of the housing unit that, when closed, clamps down against a gasket to provide a tight seal that helps safeguard the electrical components.

The housing unit is made to need less maintenance from the end user for the motors. Self-lubricating sealed bearings in the internal unit prevent the need for replacement. However, the same inspection schedule for the crane should also include motors. The motor should be visually inspected before each use. This involves turning on the motor to simulate motion along the bridge and with the trolley empty. The motor should run without drag or reluctance throughout this test.

Even when the motorized crane is loaded, the operator must maintain the visual check. A jib crane's boom not rotating well could be an indication that the motor needs to be repaired or maintained. A motorized trolley or bridge that occasionally moves is a sign that the motor needs to be repaired or maintained. It is likely a hint that there is a motor issue if the inverter is transmitting bad codes. Defective indicators may also indicate that the wires have overheated. The operator would frequently be alerted by the smell of smoke. In general, the addition of a motor can enhance your crane's performance in the appropriate setting.

Industries that frequently need to move big or unusually shaped items, as well as congested work zones, are suitable candidates. However, the operator must be ready to add the motor to their checklist for crane inspection. If you need a motorized crane, please feel free to contact us.
