Why Choose Tungsten Alloy Counterweight For Crane Counterweight

Apr 05, 2022

What is a hoist? Do hoists still need counterweights? Why choose tungsten alloy counterweight for counterweight? Seeing this title, you must have some doubts, here are the answers for you one by one.

The crane is also called the crane, which is mainly composed of two parts: the power unit and the bracket. When lifting, the counterweight is very important. The counterweight is mainly a block that maintains balance. Its weight is generally added according to the strength of the car itself. Too heavy and too light have disadvantages. If it is too heavy, it is likely to cause damage to the strength of the car when lifting the weight; if it is too light, it is likely to overturn the car. In order to make the vehicle more versatile, some large-tonnage crane balance blocks are detachable. When lifting small-tonnage materials, the vehicle can hang less or no balance weight. However, when lifting large-tonnage items, the balance weight must be fully hung, and even a super-lifting device must be added to prevent the overturning of the vehicle, resulting in casualties and damage to the goods.

When you see this, you will definitely think that the weights of other materials can also be used, as long as the weight is up to the standard. Why choose expensive tungsten alloy counterweights? That is because the density of high specific gravity tungsten alloy is higher, and its corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance are better. The high specific gravity tungsten alloy is used as the key raw material. The density of the tungsten alloy is large, so that the purpose of small volume and large weight can be achieved, with high flexibility and long service life.
