What is The Function of Crane Guide Wheel

The functions of crane guide wheels are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. Guide track operation

The main function of the guide wheel is to guide the crane to run smoothly along the track, ensure the crane moves stably in the horizontal and vertical directions, and prevent it from deviating from the track.

2. Reduce wear

By properly guiding, the guide wheels can reduce the friction between the crane and the track, reduce the degree of wear, and thus extend the service life of the track and crane components.

3. Improve safety

The guide wheel can keep the crane balanced, prevent tilting or loss of control during lifting, and ensure safe operation.

4. Load bearing

The guide wheels can share part of the load and help distribute the weight evenly, thus reducing the pressure on other structural components.

5. Reduce noise and vibration

The good design of the guide wheel can reduce the noise and vibration of the crane during operation and improve the comfort of the working environment.

Crane guide wheels play a vital role in improving the smoothness, safety and durability of crane operation. Regular inspection and maintenance of guide wheels are important measures to ensure safe operation of cranes.
