The track of the gantry crane is the basis for the operation of the gantry crane. When the track of the gantry crane is seriously worn and the damage is too heavy, it should be replaced in time. Otherwise, the gantry crane will be worn due to the problem of the track, which will damage the machine and affect normal use. This article simply explains when the gantry crane rail needs to be replaced.

  1. When the track has cracks(cracks on the rail can be checked with a line track flaw detector, transverse cracks can be connected by fishplates, oblique or longitudinal cracks need to be replaced with new tracks), or the top and side of the track are worn(one-sided) should be scrapped when it exceeds 3mm, at this time it cannot be repaired, and it needs to be scrapped and replaced directly.

  1. When the running track of the gantry crane has defects such as fatigue cracks and fatigue peeling, it should be replaced in time.

  1. The running track of the gantry crane has partial transverse plastic deformation or partial torsion and other deformations, which affects the normal operation of the gantry crane. If there are serious problems such as gnawing, deviation, and serpentine, it needs to be replaced in time.

  1. When the pressure plate fixing device is used for the fixing of the running track of the gantry crane, if the fixed position of the track shift sideways if the reliable and firm fixation cannot be ensured after repair, it needs to be replaced directly.

  1. When the fixing of the running track of the gantry crane adopts a welding connection or welding pressing plate device, if the fixed connection weld has cracks or welding damage, it should be repaired. If the meaning of repair welding is lost, it needs to be replaced in time.

  1. Check the track splint or fishplate for cracks, which need to be replaced in time.

When the above six points appear, the track of the gantry crane must be replaced in time. It is necessary to decide whether it can be repaired according to the wear and tear of the track and the condition of the problem. If the situation is particularly severe, there is no need for repair. If it is scrapped, replace it with a new gantry crane track directly.
