The EOT Crane is an exceptional piece of machinery. Even more so when you have a company that specializes in the cranes to build one specifically for your company. You may be able to buy a second-hand EOT crane on the mechanical market, however, the work that may need to be put in to make it more serviceable for your needs.
When it comes to the EOT crane, purpose built is the way to go. There are so many benefites by having your crane made to your specifications that it negates the additional cost when you offset this against the productivity benefits of a crane that has been purpose-built to your exact specifications.
So what os and EOT Crane? EOT means electrical overhead traveling crane. What this means is that the crane is built with two end frames combined with the main beam that connects each leg. By having you’re own constructed, you can have the exact height that will be the most work efficient for end users.
The elevator can be made to your specifications and include the particular type of equipment required to complete a specific task or a range of functions dependant on the flexibility of the tool. If you have a production line, for example, you can have the frame built to match the exact spacing that you want the crane to travel to and from.
Questions that you should initially be thinking of is what is the weight of the machinery or tools that you will have connected to the EOT. How many times do you expect the action of the attached device that will be needed each hour? What is the weight of the tool that will be required? These are the initial range of questions that need to be both asked and answered before you can move forward.
Once you have the above thought our and set down, then you need to think of the range and motion that you want to allow the tool attached to the EOT to have. I suggest that you go to the production area and airr dance the routine that you believe the machine should take. What is the range of motion, what footage do you want to allow the tool to run before it would be considered to be out of the workstation area? What power supply will the machine be using and will you have to have a power station set up nearby before the EOT can function?
As you can see from the above, there is a lot that an EOT crane can help you with, but you need to know exactly what it is. Once you have taken the above steps, you will see precisely the requirements and specifications that will be required.
The upside to you is that once you have completed the pre-work above and have worked closely with the cranes manufacturing team, the result will be spectacular. You will have a fully customized EOT that will perform the task precisely as you intended with minimal maintenance.
