Shop Heaters & Your Cranes

It’s that time of year again when the heaters in your shop are working overtime to keep the shop warm. While heat is essential for your comfort, these heaters can affect your bridge crane’s performance and longevity. To ensure your crane remains in top condition during the winter months, Here are a few suggestions to consider. Look up when you park your crane, Try to park any part of the hoist away from radiant heaters. It might also be necessary to add a shroud or heat deflector to the top of the crane. This can help divert the heat away from sensitive components and reduce the risk of damage. keep an eye on contractors and wiring closely, as excessive heat can cause these components to become brittle over time, leading to cracks and other issues. Flat festoon cables can burn as well. And too the hoist parts can also get cooked.
