5 Common Problems with Overhead Cranes and How to Avoid Them Purchasing an overhead crane can be a big investment. Learn about some problems you might encounter during the life of your overhead crane and what you can do to mitigate them. Common Problems with Overhead Cranes: 1. Damage or Degradation to the Wire Rope: Birdcaging Corrosion Severe wear 2. Crane Skew and Alignment Issues: These types of stresses can result in: Accidents Crane failure or derailment Equipment downtime and productivity loss Costly repairs and replacement of parts 3. Excessive Wear to End Truck Wheels: End truck wheels are components of overhead cranes that can require frequent maintenance, replacement, or adjustment. Throughout the course of a crane’s life, the wheels will naturally wear down due to normal use of the crane and will need to be replaced. 4. Issues with the Electrification System: Problems with Contact Interruptions Problems with Push Button Pendants or Radio Controls Blown Fuses 5. Bent or Damaged Hooks: A hook is designed to hold a load in a particular and precise direction. When the weight isn’t supported as intended by the hook, it compromises the internal integrity of the hook and can increase the chance of it bending, stretching, or cracking. The load can also slip off of the hook if it stretches out the throat opening. Regular inspection of hooks and other pieces of rigging hardware should be performed at the beginning of each shift to check for deformities or damage.
