Bridge Girder Launcher

Product Description

A bridge girder launcher, also known as a bridge erecting gantry crane or bridge construction beam erecting machine, is a heavy-duty lifting device specifically designed for bridge construction. It is used to hoist precast beam segments or entire beams into place during the construction of long-span bridges (especially segmental bridges, beam bridges, and box girder bridges). The bridge girder launcher moves across the bridge span, achieving efficient and high-precision positioning of the beams and increasing the assembly speed of the bridge structure.

This heavy equipment is crucial for the assembly of bridge spans because it can precisely position beams above the piers and is widely used in the construction of highways, railways, and overpasses.

Types of Bridge Girder Launchers

Bridge Girder Launcher

A bridge girder launcher machine is a heavy-duty lifting device specifically designed for bridge construction. It possesses strong load-bearing capacity and high operational precision, enabling the safe and efficient hoisting and installation of precast beam segments. Its main structure includes the main girder as the core load-bearing component, a hydraulically adjustable outrigger system for stable support, and a lifting trolley equipped with frequency converter control, achieving smooth lifting and precise positioning of the beam segments. It is widely applicable to the construction of various types of bridges, including highways and railways, and exhibits excellent adaptability and reliability, especially in projects with complex terrain and limited space.

 Precast Girder Lifting Gantry Crane

The Precast Girder Lifting Gantry Crane is a tire-mounted gantry crane specifically designed for bridge construction. It is primarily used for lifting and transferring precast beams between the beam fabrication area, storage area, and transport vehicle. This equipment supports dual-crane coordinated lifting or single-crane dual-trolley dual-spreader operation, adapting to diverse lifting needs. The main body adopts a truss or box girder structure, and its modular design makes installation, dismantling, and relocation convenient and efficient. In addition to transporting precast beams, it can also be used for the assembly and disassembly of bridge erecting machines and the erection of low-pier bridges. It is widely applicable to highway, bridge, and other infrastructure construction sites, combining flexibility and economy.

Онцлогууд

• Multiple Operation Modes: Supports collaborative operation modes such as dual-machine lifting and single-machine dual-trolley operation, flexibly adapting to the hoisting needs of precast components of different lengths, weights, and shapes.
• Highly Efficient Site Transfer Capability: Utilizes modular steel structures and standardized connections, facilitating convenient equipment disassembly, transportation, and assembly, enabling rapid response to site transfer needs between different construction sites.
• Intelligent Safety Control: Integrates safety functions such as operation monitoring, limit protection, and overload warning, effectively preventing operational risks and reducing equipment accident rates.

Хэрэглээ

• Loading and Shipping: Safely hoisting inspected and qualified precast beam segments onto beam transport vehicles, preparing for on-site erection.
• Large Equipment Assembly: Assisting in the assembly and disassembly of large construction equipment such as bridge erecting machines at bridge construction sites.
• Temporary Component Hoisting: Applicable to the hoisting of large steel formwork, molds, and other temporary components in various construction sites.
• Low-Pier Bridge Erection: Directly hoisting and positioning beam segments in suitable low-pier bridge projects.
