Hydraulic Floor Cranes

Lokpal Industries, an ISO 9001: 2000 certified company, manufactures Hulk brand Hydraulic Floor Cranes. These provide an efficient and safe low cost alternative to other material handling equipment. They are strong, robust, sturdy and built to very high standards. Laden, these cranes are easily manoeuvrable. The crane structure consists of the chassis, vertical column, derrick (inner and out boom) and the hydraulic cylinder assembly. All models have a double column box frame made of steel pipes. The box frame can take heavy loads. Its wide bearing on the chassis effectively avoids twisting and damage to the crane under rough and unskilled handling. The inner boom has six locking points, and telescopes into the outer boom. It is fitted with a 3600, rotating forged steel hook. The chassis is fitted on four wheels. Two wheels are fitted on rigid castors and two are fitted into a steering assembly. The steering assembly has a combination of heavy-duty thrust bearings and taper roller bearings. In “U” frame chassis, the job to be lifted is accommodated within the frame itself. The equipment is useful for loading and unloading jobs into trucks and other areas, where the legs can easily slide under obstructions. The advantage of this equipment is that, being shorter in length it has a small turning radius and no counterweights are required for balancing moments. The “G” frame chassis is “T” shaped in construction and has a counterweight tank of the rear end into which some counterweight has to be added to balance moments. It offers a larger clear space for lifting ahead of the wheels and can be used effectively in areas inaccessible to the “U” frame type, and is preferred for lifting of larger, awkward and unsymmetrical loads. The oil tank and hydraulic cylinder are both welded on the manifold plate which is fitted with the plunger cylinder, release valve, suction cum pressure cartridge insert with a built in filter and a relief valve forming a compact and integral unit. The heart of this pump is the cartridge insert, which is extremely reliable. However, if the need ever arises, it can be replaced within seconds even by an untrained person. The delivery port of the pump is connected directly to the hydraulic cylinder, through a duct in the manifold plate thus making no use of hose pipes and effectively reducing the changes of damage due to a cut or burst hose. The manifold plate has a built in pressure relief valve, which automatically, diverts flow of oil from the pump to the tank, in case the equipment is overloaded and the system pressure exceeds the preset maximum level. Hulk brand hydraulic floor cranes are available in capacities of 1000/2000/3000 kg capacity.
