Model Meaning The QN model represents a grab & hook bridge crane with a single trolley. The model number typically indicates: Crane QN rated lifting capacity-span work class. For example, Crane QN 16/5-16.5A6 means a rated capacity of 16/5t (main hook 16t, auxiliary hook 5t), a span of 16.5m, and an A6 work class.
Structure
Bridge Frame: Main structure made of box-section girder for high strength and stiffness. It supports the crane components and bears loads.
Trolley Mechanism: Moves along the track in the factory, powered by motors, gearboxes, and wheels for horizontal movement.
Hoisting Trolley: Moves along the main beam's track and is equipped with lifting and opening/closing mechanisms for handling materials.
Electrical Control System: Includes control cabinets, operation panels, and electrical components for controlling lifting, lowering, and trolley movements.
Working Principle
Grab Operation: The grab uses four steel ropes wrapped around lifting and opening/closing drums. The closing mechanism grabs material, then the lifting mechanism raises it.
Hook Operation: The hook is connected to the lifting mechanism with steel ropes. The motor drives the winch to raise or lower the hook to lift or release materials.
Accident Prevention: Buffers, track sweep plates, shields, and busbar protection.
Motor Protection: Main disconnect switch, motor overload protection, and low-voltage safety cutoffs.
2. Strong Build & Compliance
Certified Quality: Meets ISO, CE, and GOST standards, with A7 work duty classification for heavy industrial use.
Durable Materials:
Main Girder: Made from seamless Q235B/Q345B carbon steel for max load capacity.
Winch Trolley: Lightweight design, transfers load directly to end beams for better stability.
Wheels: Vacuum-cast for durability and smooth operation.
3. Flexible Grab & Hook Options
Custom Grabs: Includes clamshell and orange peel grabs for bulk materials like scrap, gravel, and grain.
High-Performance Hook: ZPMC-brand spreader for secure lifting.
4. Intelligent Safety Features
Triple Limit Switches: Prevents overrun during lifting, crane travel, and trolley travel.
Overload Protection: Real-time weight monitoring with automatic shutdown.
Emergency Stop: Immediate response in dangerous situations.
5. Global Support & Customization
Hazard-Adaptable: Explosion-proof or acid-resistant designs for extreme environments.
Complete Service: From design to installation, with on-site engineer support and training.

APPLICATION SCENARIO
Ideal Applications for Two-Purpose Bridge Crane (Grab & Hook) Our dual-function bridge crane is designed for heavy-duty material handling across industries, offering grab bucket precision and hook versatility for maximum efficiency.
1. Ports & Terminals
Bulk Cargo Handling: Load/unload coal, ore, sand, and gravel from ships or trucks.
Container Yards: Move scrap metal or loose debris with high-capacity grabs.
2. Power Plants & Energy Sector
Coal/Fuel Management: Transfer bulk fuel to boilers or storage areas.
Ash & Slag Removal: Efficiently clear waste with heat-resistant grabs.
3. Steel Mills & Smelting Workshops
Scrap Metal Processing: Handle recycled steel or raw materials in production lines.
Foundry Operations: Transport molten slag or casting residues safely.
4. Chemical & Industrial Plants
Bulk Material Handling: Manage fertilizers, salts, or granules in corrosive environments (custom acid-proof options available).
Hazardous Zones: Explosion-proof models for flammable material handling.
5. Warehouses & Logistics
Heavy Palletized Goods: Use the hook for machinery, containers, or large equipment.
Bulk Storage: Stack or retrieve loose materials like grain or cement.
Why It Works ✔ Adaptable: Easily switch between grab (for bulk) and hook (for unit loads). ✔ Harsh-Ready: Corrosion-resistant coatings and F-class motor protection for extreme conditions. ✔ Safety-Compliant: Meets ISO/CE/GOST standards for ports, smelting, and chemical zones.
Applications
Ports: Load/unload bulk cargo like coal, ore, and grain, or containers.
Steel Mills: Handle raw materials like iron ore, coke, scrap steel, and finished products.
Power Plants: Handle coal, ash, and slag, or lift equipment and parts during maintenance.
Other Industries: Use in cement, chemical, and construction industries for moving bulk materials and equipment.
Safety Considerations
Operator Training: Operators must be trained, familiar with the crane's performance and safety procedures, and certified before operation.
Safety Device Check: Inspect safety devices like limiters, buffers, and travel limiters before use. Repair or replace if needed.
Material Check: Ensure the material's weight and size match the crane’s rated capacity to avoid overloading or inadequate lifting height.
Operation Guidelines: Follow the operating procedures to avoid sudden movements or impacts that could destabilize materials or the crane.
