Beam Transporter Used in Prefabrication Yard

DATE : Sep 14th, 2024

Beam transporter. is a heavy transport vehicle used to transport prefabricated beams and ultra-long components. It is usually applied in the construction process of large infrastructure such as Bridges and tunnels. Due to the size and weight of the prefabricated beam is relatively large, ordinary transport vehicles can not bear this work, but the beam transport can complete the work stably and efficiently due to the special design.

The Key Role of The Beam Transport in The Precast Yard

 

1. Site safety

 

The length, weight and shape of the concrete beams can put the transport vehicle at risk of damage and tipping during transport. Due to the stable center of gravity design and intelligent control system, the beam transport can ensure the safety of the transportation process, ensure the economic benefits of the site and personnel safety.

 

2. Efficient transportation

 

The precast concrete is usually large in appearance and heavy in weight, and the traditional transportation equipment will be more difficult in the transportation process. The beam transport has a special structure that can carry such large prefabricated components. This also improves the efficiency of the precast yard and shortens the construction period.

 

3. Deal with complex site conditions

 

Prefabrication yard space is generally limited, the terrain is also more complex. With its flexible handling and small turning radius, the beam transport can cope with narrow passages or uneven ground. At the same time, the beam transport can accurately position the site according to the length of the prefabricated beam to ensure the safety of the prefabricated component.

 

4. Reduce component losses

 

If the concrete precast is unstable or colliding during transportation, it may lead to cracks, damage and other problems, which will affect the overall quality and safety of the precast. The stable support structure and transportation mode of the beam carrier can ensure the integrity of the concrete prefabricated parts during transportation, reducing the possibility of loss and rework.

 

5. Reduce labor costs

 

The traditional transportation of precast concrete requires a lot of people to participate, and in this case, there are also problems of low handling efficiency and low safety performance. The application of beam truck greatly reduces the need for manpower, and the use of mechanical equipment can replace manual handling. This not only speeds up the overall project progress, but also reduces the complexity of the operation.

 

Operate Beam Transport at The Precast Yard

 

1. Prefabricated beam loading

 

The loading work of the beam transport generally requires the assistance of a crane or other lifting equipment. This process includes lifting the beam body, accurate positioning, fixing the beam body and so on. Lifting the beam body refers to the use of gantry crane or other equipment to lift the prefabricated beam to ensure that the beam body is horizontal. The lifting equipment accurately places the beam body on the bearing platform of the beam transport, and then firmly attaches the beam body to the beam transport through special devices such as hydraulic locking or supporting beam seats.

 

2. Transportation process

 

In the process of transportation, the beam transport will face the test of the weight of prefabricated components and site conditions. However, due to the excellent performance of the beam transport itself, it can cope with these tests well. The girder transport has a small turning radius and can travel flexibly in narrow Spaces. At the same time, the beam transport is also equipped with a shock absorption system and automatic leveling function, which can maintain the stability of the component on the uneven ground and avoid unnecessary loss of the component during transportation.

 

3. Uninstall and place

 

After the beam transport has transported the precast concrete to its destination, the work of unloading and placing the precast beams is also very important. The lifting equipment lifts the beam body from the beam carriage and places it in the designated position. At this time, the beam carrier can fine-tune the height of the car body through the hydraulic system to promote the smooth completion of the unloading process.
