CRANES
WHERE OUR PROVEN BOLTING SOLUTIONS SET THE STANDARD IN CRITICAL APPLICATIONS
TorcUP provides a variety of industrial bolting solutions specifically designed for the assembly and maintenance of different types of cranes, ranging from massive tower cranes to mobile
truck-mounted units.
KEY MACHINERY AND APPLICATION POINTS
Tower Cranes
Tower crane maintenance relies heavily on portability and high torque. The VT Series (Volta battery-powered tools), including models from the VT-1000 up to the VT-6000, are preferred for these applications. To handle the unique geometry of tower crane bolts, specialized accessories are used:
-
Right Angle Gear Box (RPA-RAGB): Allows the RP and VT to fit into restricted spaces.
-
Custom Reaction Arms: A variety of specialized arms (e.g., RPA-60-TCRA and RPA-60-ALL CRANE-415) are designed to react safely against crane structures.
Mobile and Truck-Mounted Cranes
Different mobile crane manufacturers require specific tool configurations for their rotation bearings and structural components:
-
Grove Truck Mounted Mobile Cranes: For bolting the main bearing (ring gear) to the crane's welded structure, the TX-2 low-profile hydraulic wrench is used. The typical process involves using a pneumatic tool to run the bolts up, then finishing them with the TX-2 at approximately 883 lbf-ft.
-
TEREX Truck Mounted Cranes: The Raptor 500 pneumatic torque wrench, often paired with a nose extension, is utilized for the inner rotation bearing bolts.
General Crane Applications
Across heavy equipment, mining, and steel mill industries, TorcUP tools address several critical crane bolting points:
-
Slew Rings (Rotation Bearings): Essential for the crane's ability to rotate under load.
-
Anchor and Mount Bolts: Used to secure the crane to its base or truck chassis.
-
Hydraulic Cylinders: High-torque bolting is required for the assembly and repair of lifting cylinders.
-
Facility and Steel Mill Cranes: Overhead and facility cranes require regular maintenance of their structural and mechanical bolts to ensure safety and reliability.
In mining specifically, cranes are listed as essential equipment requiring specialized bolting for their slewing rings and general vehicle maintenance.
