Thermal Power Plant Overhead Cranes

Sinokocranes conducts detailed management of on-site lifting operations to study the rationality of construction plans. This will reduce the cost of using large cranes, which directly affects the size of the power plant profits.

The power plant bridge crane is used for hoisting and assembling the power plant stator, steam turbine stator and rotor, The overhead crane is required to be heavy in weight and low in frequency of use. In order to save costs, two double girder bridge cranes can be selected for the hoisting and assembly of the rotor. Sinokocranes has a successful project case and is well received by customers;

Thermal Power Plant Overhead Cranes

Overview

Power plant overhead cranes are usually installed in the main engine plant of power plants for the installation and maintenance of generator sets, and the lifting and handling of electrical equipment and other items. The European double-girder crane is usually selected for the main engine plant of the power plant, which has the advantages of small clearance, compact structure, safety and reliability, and firm use.


The scale of operation of thermal power plants is generally relatively large, and the extensive application of cranes in the remanufacturing process has greatly improved the production efficiency. However, the safety of the crane and the safety incidents it brings cannot be ignored.


The production process of a thermal power plant is to first generate steam from the combustion of coal, petroleum, and other fuels, convert the chemical energy of the fuel into heat energy, and then use water vapor to drive the turbine to turn the heat energy of water vapor into mechanical energy. Finally, it is driven by the steam turbine. The generator works to generate electricity.


The thermal power plants work flow determines its high-temperature, acid-alkali corrosion production environment, which has an impact on various production facilities within the plant, especially acid-base corrosion. The gas in a thermal power plant also has the characteristics of being flammable, explosive and corrosive. Therefore, safety must be taken into consideration when selecting a crane.

Power plant overhead cranes

Features

1. Save working space: Smaller left and right space restrictions, increase working space. The space above the track/track is small, and the workshop space can be fully utilized.


2. Low cost of service and maintenance: reliable performance, durable, reduce extra cost. High quality and performance components require less maintenance and repairs. Lower energy consumption.


3. High performance: The frequency conversion technology is adopted to reduce the working load and make the crane run at high speed under light load. The speed range of 1:10 ensures that the crane runs smoothly and reduces the impact on the workshop. Adopt anti-shake technology to achieve precise positioning.

FAQs

1. What makes the thermal power plant overhead crane from Sinoko reliable in harsh thermal environments?

Sinoko’s cranes are specifically engineered to withstand high-temperature, acidic, corrosive, and potentially explosive conditions inside thermal power plants—thanks to their robust European-style design, durable components, and emphasized safety features.

2. How do these overhead cranes save space and cut operating costs?

These European double-girder cranes feature compact structure and minimal clearance requirements, which maximizes workshop space. Plus, thanks to high-quality performance components and reliable frequency‑conversion technology, maintenance and energy costs are significantly reduced.

3. Can these cranes handle both heavy lifting and precise positioning tasks?

Absolutely. Sinoko’s cranes support heavy load operations like lifting stators, turbine rotors, and generator equipment, while precision-driven features—such as VFD (variable frequency drive), PLC control, and anti‑shake technology—ensure smooth, accurate positioning.

4. What are the key specifications of Sinoko’s thermal power plant overhead crane?

A typical configuration offers a main lifting capacity of 120 tons and auxiliary 30 tons, with 20 m span and 18 m lifting height. It uses Schneider and Siemens controls (VFD and PLC), SEW geared motors. Lifting speeds range from 0.25–2.5 m/min (main), 0.5–5 m/min (aux), with trolley and crane travel speeds up to 32 m/min.

5. How does Sinoko ensure safe and stable operations for these cranes?

Safety is built in: the cranes are designed for low-frequency, heavy-duty use, minimizing wear from frequent cycles. The structural design and high-quality manufacturing reduce risks in corrosive, flammable, or explosive environments often found in thermal power plants.

6. Is the performance of these cranes customizable to specific plant requirements?

Yes. Sinoko offers customization in crane design, control systems, and component selection, allowing clients to tailor the crane to their exact lifting capacity, speed, space restrictions, and safety needs—ensuring optimal integration into each thermal power facility.
