STS Rail Gauge Adjustment
Technical SolutionsRail gauge adjustment service for STS (Ship-to-Shore) cranes, including narrowing and widening rail spacing to match current wharf configuration or new crane requirements.
DETAILS
Bac Au provides STS crane rail gauge adjustment services, addressing situations where current rail gauge does not match new cranes or when optimizing crane positioning on the wharf.
Solutions:
• Rail Gauge Narrowing: Reduce the distance between STS crane rails. Applied when relocating cranes from wider gauge wharves to narrower ones, or when replacing old cranes with new ones of different specifications.
• Rail Gauge Widening: Increase the distance between STS crane rails. Applied when upgrading wharves, installing larger STS cranes (Post-Panamax, Super Post-Panamax), or when increasing crane stability.
Technical process:
• Site survey: precise rail gauge measurement, inspection of crane beams, travel mechanism, and wharf foundation conditions.
• Design: recalculate crane leg structure (sill beam, gantry leg), design conversion or extension/reduction sections. Workshop fabrication and on-site installation.
• Related system adjustments: update travel bogie system, storm anchor system, power cable and control systems.
