On rainy days, it is indeed necessary to avoid deviations in the wheels of bridge cranes as much as possible, as deviations in the wheels not only affect the normal operation of the crane, but may also pose a threat to the safety of equipment and personnel. However, completely avoiding wheel deviation may be an idealized goal, as multiple factors can lead to wheel deviation in rainy weather. Here are some suggestions on how to reduce wheel deviation of bridge cranes on rainy days:

1、 Strengthen equipment inspection and maintenance

Regularly check the condition of the wheels: Regularly inspect the wear, diameter difference, vertical deviation, etc. of the wheels to ensure that they are in good condition. For wheels with severe wear or large diameter differences, they should be replaced or repaired in a timely manner.

Cleaning the tracks: Rainy days can cause water, mud, or oil to accumulate on the tracks, which can reduce the friction between the wheels and the tracks and increase the risk of wheel deviation. Therefore, the tracks should be cleaned regularly to keep them dry and clean.

Check the braking system: The performance of the braking system directly affects the accuracy and stability of the crane's parking. On rainy days, special attention should be paid to the status of the braking system to ensure its normal operation and avoid wheel deviation caused by ineffective braking.

2、 Optimize operation mode

Smooth operation: When operating in rainy weather, it is advisable to avoid sudden movements such as sudden start stop and sudden turn to reduce the impact and wear on the wheels and reduce the risk of wheel deviation.

Low speed driving: In rainy weather, due to the slippery road surface, the friction between the wheels and the tracks decreases. Therefore, the speed of the crane should be appropriately reduced to ensure stable contact between the wheels and the tracks.

3、 Take anti slip measures

Installing anti-skid chains: For outdoor bridge cranes, anti-skid chains can be installed on the wheels to increase friction between the wheels and the ground or tracks, reducing the risk of wheel deviation.

Using anti slip materials: Laying anti slip materials such as sand, gravel, etc. on the track can also increase the friction between the wheel and the track to a certain extent, reducing the occurrence of wheel deviation.

4、 Strengthen safety management and training

Develop safety operating procedures: Based on the characteristics of rainy weather operations, develop specialized safety operating procedures, clarify the responsibilities and precautions of operators, and ensure that cranes can operate safely and stably even in rainy weather.

Strengthen safety training: Regularly provide safety training to operators to enhance their safety awareness and operational skills, so that they can proficiently master the essentials and precautions of rainy day operations.
