Project Background
The implementation of this project faced several key challenges:
- Spatial structure limitation:
The warehouse was designed as a high-bay storage area with densely arranged racks. The main operating aisles were less than 4 meters wide, severely restricting the entry and maneuvering of large lifting equipment. - Floor protection requirements:
The warehouse floor was a completed high-grade epoxy surface, and the client required that no scratches or indentations be caused during the lifting process, as repairs would be costly and delay progress. - Installation needs:
The project involved installing multiple sets of large automated sorting systems. Each core component weighed close to the crane’s rated load and required precise positioning on installation platforms over 15 meters high. - Limitations of traditional methods:
Given these conditions, conventional large mobile cranes were proven unsuitable due to their size, turning radius, and excessive ground pressure, making them unable to operate effectively in this environment.
Solution: YG 8-Ton Tracked Mini Crane
After comprehensive comparison and on-site evaluation, the project team selected the YG-8 model 8 ton mini tracked crane. Its verified technical features perfectly matched the site’s demanding conditions:
- Lifting capacity:
The 8-ton rated load fully met the requirements for lifting the heaviest sorting equipment, maintaining stable operation even at a 16.5-meter working radius. - Working height:
The 18-meter maximum lifting height easily reached the second-floor platforms, ensuring accurate high-altitude installation. - Floor adaptability:
The specially designed rubber track undercarriage was highly compatible with epoxy flooring, effectively dispersing ground pressure and preventing any damage. - Spatial adaptability:
Its compact body allowed flexible movement through narrow rack aisles, while the 360° full-rotation function made positioning easy from any direction. - Operation method:
The advanced wireless remote control system let operators choose the best observation position, achieving millimeter-level lifting precision.
Performance of the Tracked Mini Crane
After arrival, the equipment underwent a full safety inspection and performance test outside the warehouse. It then smoothly entered the building under its own power, leaving the delicate epoxy floor completely undamaged.
During five days of intensive operation, the small tracked crane moved efficiently between different installation points, precisely lifting and positioning each core component of the sorting system, which was then securely fixed by the installation team.
Project Results
By using this high-performance 8 ton small tracked crane, the project team successfully achieved all planned objectives:
- Efficient installation:
All heavy equipment was installed according to schedule without any delay in the overall construction progress. - Flawless floor protection:
The valuable warehouse floor remained completely intact, eliminating potential repair costs caused by equipment movement. - Improved precision:
The intelligent remote control system minimized blind operation risks and ensured precise alignment for each heavy component.
