In today's industry, moving, lifting, and safely positioning heavy loads is no longer possible with manual methods. In this context, hydraulic crane systems offer indispensable solutions for tasks requiring high power. So, what are hydraulic crane systems, how do they work, and in what sectors are they used? In this blog post, we answer all these questions with the expertise of AKC Hydraulics.
Hydraulic Crane What are their systems?
Hydraulic cranes are heavy-duty lifting machines based on the principle of converting fluid pressure into mechanical energy. In these systems, a hydraulic fluid, usually oil-based, is pressurized by a pump, and this pressure is converted into pushing/lifting force by cylinders. The most important advantage of hydraulic cranes is: Their advantages include their ability to lift high loads with little energy, their precise movement capabilities, and their ability to operate even in tight spaces thanks to their compact structure.
Basic Components:
- Hydraulic Pump:The key component that provides pressure to the system.
- Cylinder:Converts pressurized fluid into mechanical motion.
- Valves:Control flow
- Tank: The reservoir where hydraulic oil is stored.
- Control Unit: Operator-controlled.
Types of Hydraulic Cranes
Hydraulic crane systems are manufactured in different ways depending on their intended use. At AKC Hydraulic, we also offer custom solutions tailored to our customers' needs.
1. Stationary Hydraulic Cranes
Used in factory production lines, ports, or heavy equipment service areas. They have high carrying capacity and operate on a specific axis.
2. Mobile Hydraulic Cranes
These are wheeled or crawler-mounted systems. They are frequently used in the construction, energy, and agriculture sectors.
3. Telescopic Hydraulic Cranes
They have an extendable boom system to reach high areas. They are used in rescue operations and high-rise building maintenance.
4. Special Production Cranes Systems
These systems are equipped with functional components, specifically designed for the site. AKC Hydraulic uses CAD-supported design and production processes to create customized solutions for projects.
Which Sectors Are They Used In?
Hydraulic crane systems are used in many sectors. Below are the most common areas of use:
Construction Sector
Used for operations such as transporting building materials to higher floors and installing columns and beams.
Logistics and Storage
Preferred for stacking heavy containers and loading/unloading vehicles.
Mining and Quarrying Operations
Hydraulic cranes play a vital role in operations such as lifting heavy stone blocks and moving large equipment.
Energy and Infrastructure Projects
Installation of wind turbines, transformer systems, and pipelines
Industrial Production
They are used for the assembly of machine parts, mold changing operations, and transportation activities in production lines.
Hydraulic crane systems are an indispensable part of modern industry. Their high power, precise control, compact structure, and safety advantages make them preferred in many sectors. At AKC Hydraulic, we are proud to offer customized, high-quality, and safe solutions for your projects with our years of experience.
