In industries such as steel structure manufacturing, mold processing, mechanical assembly, wind power equipment and large-scale plate processing, heavy workpieces require turning, position adjustment and precise positioning during welding, assembly and inspection. The lifting and turning device designed for installation on crane hook can work together with overhead crane to perform lifting and rotating operations, making it an ideal solution for improving production efficiency and operational safety.
What is Lifting and Turning Device
The lifting and turning device mounted on crane hook is an industrial turning system that integrates lifting, rotation and load control functions into one unit. The device is typically connected quickly to an overhead crane hook and utilizes an electric drive system, gearbox and rotating mechanism to lift workpieces into the air and achieve continuous 0 - 360° rotation or fixed angle turning operations.
The turning device is suitable for:
Turning large steel structure components
Lifting H-beams and box girders
Mold flipping and assembly
Positioning wind power components
Plate turning and processing
Ship section assembly
Lifting irregularly shaped workpieces
Compared with traditional manual turning methods, this device provides smoother, safer and more efficient load rotation control.
High Strength Structural Design Ensures Stable Rotation of Heavy Loads
The turning device is generally manufactured with high strength steel structure and equipped with high torque drive system and stable reduction gearbox.
Core components include:
High strength load-bearing beam
Electric rotation drive mechanism
Gear reducer system
Belt or chain slings
Safety locking device
Crane hook connection assembly
Load balancing mechanism
Dual-drive synchronous control technology is adopted to effectively avoid eccentric load or slipping during rotating, thus improving the stability of load rotation.
How to Install the Lifting and Rotating Device on Crane Hook
The lifting and rotating device is typically installed beneath the crane hook through lifting lugs or specialized connection components. The top lifting point of the device is securely connected to the crane hook and equipped with an anti-detachment locking mechanism to ensure lifting safety. After installation, the power supply and control system are connected, the device can be put into operation after no-load and load testing.
How to Select the Right Load Turning Device
Determine the maximum workpiece weight and reserve an adequate safety factor. The load capacity can reach up to 50 tons.
Workpiece length, width and center of gravity affect turning stability; lifting point layout and balancing mechanism shall be designed according to actual working conditions.
Select the appropriate rotation angle based on production process requirements.
Choose between battery-powered or electric-driven rotation systems.
Match with the crane' s rated load, hook size, lifting height and power supply parameters.
