Rail Mounted Container Gantry Crane is usually used in container terminal with strong wind force, so some wind resistance measures shall be taken to avoid accidents.

Before strong wind comes, drive the gantry crane to the terminal end, connect left support leg with U-steel on the embedded bars of box girder. Two sides of main girder and support legs should be anchored with wind cable and be tightened with 10t chain block. Wind cable material shall be steel wire rope.

Wind resistance measures shall be taken on the spot in an emergency strong wind situation, driving the gantry crane to the anchoring position forcibly shall not be done. When the crane moves with wind, stop it immediately, put operating handle at zero or press down the emergency stopping button, the gantry crane can brake automatically by travelling mechanism brake and rail clamping device, and put wood wedge or iron wedge and sandbags at the same time under every group of moving wheels.

As the wind force is more than 6 grade or gale warning and typhoon-proof instruction is received, stop working immediately to drive the gantry crane to the anchoring position; lift the hook to unlimited suspending position; adjust all operating handles and buttons at zero position, cut off general power and close driver’s cabin.
