INGCO S-LC-CR-2T Roller For Crane(S-LC-CR-2T)

product details:

Function:

• Reduced Friction and Easier Movement: Load rollers significantly decrease friction between the load and the crane’s lifting beam or spreader. This allows for:
  • Smoother lifting and lowering: The load can be raised and lowered with minimal resistance, enhancing control and efficiency.
  • Precise load positioning: The rollers enable easier maneuvering of the load for accurate placement.
• Load Distribution and Stability: Load rollers help distribute the weight of the load more evenly across the lifting beam, providing greater stability and minimizing stress on the crane and lifting attachment.
• Protection of Load and Lifting Beam: The rolling surface of the load rollers protects the load from damage caused by scraping or dragging against the lifting beam. Additionally, it reduces wear and tear on the beam itself.

Types of Load Rollers:

There are various types of load rollers used in cranes, each designed for specific applications and load capacities. Here are some common types:

• Cylindrical Load Rollers: These are the most basic type, featuring a smooth, cylindrical surface. They are suitable for handling general cargo with flat bottoms.
• U-Groove Load Rollers: These rollers have a U-shaped groove along their length. The groove helps to secure and stabilize loads with rounded or cylindrical shapes, such as pipes or tubes.
• V-Groove Load Rollers: Similar to U-grooves, V-grooves offer even better lateral stability for irregularly shaped loads or those prone to tipping.
• Polyurethane Load Rollers: These rollers feature a polyurethane tread over a steel core. Polyurethane offers a non-marring surface ideal for delicate or finished goods, preventing scratches or scuffing.
• Adjustable Load Rollers: Some rollers have adjustable positions or heights, allowing for adaptation to different load sizes and configurations.

Material and Design:

• High-Strength Steel: Load rollers are typically constructed from high-strength steel to withstand the weight and impact of heavy loads.
• Bearings: Similar to wire rope rollers, load rollers utilize bearings for smooth rotation and minimal friction. Sealed bearings are preferred for protection against dust and moisture.
• Surface Treatment: Load rollers may have a galvanized or painted finish for corrosion resistance, especially in outdoor environments. Some rollers, like polyurethane types, have a specialized tread material for specific applications.

Factors Affecting Roller Selection:

Choosing the appropriate load rollers for your crane depends on several factors:

• Crane Capacity: The rollers must be able to handle the maximum weight capacity of the crane.
• Load Type: The type of load (shape, weight, material) will influence the choice of roller profile (cylindrical, U-groove, V-groove, etc.) and surface material (steel, polyurethane).
• Lifting Attachment: The compatibility of the rollers with the specific lifting beam or spreader being used needs to be considered.
• Operating Environment: Factors like temperature, humidity, and exposure to dust or debris might influence the choice of material or bearing seals.
