Highly efficient lifting equipment based on a Galician truck crane

When it is necessary to lift large loads, it is not always possible to use stationary lifting equipment. Its delivery and installation will require significant financial and time costs. Quite often its use is hampered by poor road conditions or lack of sufficient space.

In such cases, the Galichanin truck crane will be an ideal option for performing any lifting work. High maneuverability, maneuverability and reliability have brought this special vehicle well-deserved popularity in a variety of fields.

Manufacturer of automotive crane equipment

Galich Truck Crane Plant
The production of functional and high-performance Galician truck cranes is carried out by JSC GAKZ (Galich Truck Crane Plant), located in the city of Galich, Kostroma region, Russian Federation. During its activity, since 1990, the company has mastered the production of more than ten models of lifting equipment with different performance characteristics.

Now the company is one of the leaders in the domestic mechanical engineering industry. The products of JSC GAKZ make up a quarter of the entire Russian market of truck cranes.

Design features and advantages of Galician

The use of modern technologies has allowed developers to achieve high results in terms of technical equipment, productivity and safety of manufactured equipment. Among the advantages that the designs of truck cranes have are the following:

Technical and operational advantages of the Galician truck crane

• the ability to lift in a zone from 240 ° to 360 ° , which minimizes the number of crossings and turns of the vehicle;
• individual drive of the rotary and lifting mechanism, providing control independent of the hydraulic motors;
• availability of an additional removable counterweight, which increases performance;
• the use of sections with an ovoid cross-section in the boom design, made from oval and U-shaped bent profiles;
• the boom equipment is equipped in single file, with a variable tilt of up to 40 ° , which significantly increases the efficiency and productivity of the equipment;
• introduction of automatic safety systems to prevent overloading and capsizing.

Noteworthy is the hydraulic system with adjustable hydraulic drive, which provides smooth process control and allows you to combine work operations.

Each truck crane is self-propelled and capable of reaching speeds of 50-60 km/h. Its dimensions are practically no different from a truck, so it can easily be placed on a construction site and will ensure the performance of lifting loading and unloading operations.

Advantages and disadvantages of technology

Repair of the Galician truck crane can be carried out in specialized centers located in different regions of Russia. If the crane operates in the Moscow, Yaroslavl or Kostroma region, you don’t have to look for a point, but contact the manufacturer directly. The plant has a service center for its products, where, taking into account the features and technical characteristics of the machine, they will do everything necessary to ensure that the crane operates for as long as possible and brings profit to the customer.

Regardless of the model, the factory machine is repaired free of charge during the warranty period.

The advantages of Galichanin cranes include the following characteristics:

1. In production, all modern developments and GOSTs that exist in crane and lifting equipment are taken into account.
2. The booms of the new truck cranes of this brand are created from bent profiles, connected by butt welding along the entire length. This design reduces the weight of the boom, while at the same time increasing the lifting capacity of the machine.
3. The jib, which can be installed at an angle, allows for more rational use of the construction site, and its different lengths allow you to maximally cover the area of ​​work.
4. An optional counterweight, available on select models, allows you to simultaneously increase load weight and lift height.
5. To work in cramped conditions, you can hang the crane on supports without extending them.
6. Quick adjustment from transport to working position allows you to save time, and with it money.

Boom Features

The ovoid profile used in the boom structure is used in mechanical engineering in many countries around the world and is optimal for the type of equipment in question. The telescopic boom with which the Galichanin truck crane is equipped can have from three to five retractable sections. They are made of high quality steel WELDOX and SSAB Domex, supplied from Sweden.

Telescoping of sections is possible with a load attached to the slings. This allows delivery to hard-to-reach places between existing obstacles.

Using additional equipment

Almost every truck crane has additional boom equipment - a jib. It is made of a lattice structure from high-strength pipe. With its help, the range of action of the equipment significantly expands, as does its overall functionality.

Some models, for example, the KS-85713-2 truck crane, are equipped with a two-legged jib, which further increases their working area in the horizontal movement of cargo.

Models with 28 m boom

The cranes are equipped with a 9.5-28 m hexagonal boom with a maximum lift of 28.3 m (with a jib of 37.3 m). The greatest load capacity is achieved when the boom extends to 3.2 m; extension of sections is allowed with a load weight of up to 6 tons. The dimensions of the support contour with the support beams extended/retracted are 4.9x5.8 m/4.9x2.27 m. The following modifications are available:

1. KC 55713 1B based on KamAZ 65115 (6x4), dimensions 11.8x2.5x3.86 m.
2. KC-55713-4B on KamAZ 65111 chassis (6x6), dimensions 11.8x2.5x3.89 m.
3. KC-55713-5B on KamAZ 43118 chassis (6x6), dimensions 11.8x2.5x3.9 m.

Implementation of innovative management systems

Some representatives of truck crane equipment have in their arsenal a control system made in Germany by Hyudak and Hirschmann, called “Galician H&H”. It ensures the safety of all operations performed by the truck crane and complies with international quality standards.

The system controls the operation of the electrical and hydraulic system drives. With its help, the functions of the truck crane are controlled using small levers (joysticks) and buttons, which is very convenient for maintenance personnel.

Chassis for self-propelled cranes

The high cross-country ability and maneuverability of the equipment depends on the chassis on which it is installed. The products of JSC GAKZ use chassis, transmission and control units from the best domestic and foreign vehicles: KamAZ, Ural, MAZ, Volvo, MZKT (Minsk Wheel Tractor Plant).

Most base vehicles have a tire inflation system that can be used to adjust tire pressure to cope with difficult off-road conditions. Additional safety when moving the truck crane is provided by the ABS system, which prevents the wheels from locking when the vehicle is braking.

The chassis on which the Galician truck crane is installed can have the following wheel arrangement: 6x4, 8x4, 6x6, 8x8, 10x4. Thus, the customer can choose a model suitable for specific operating conditions in a certain area.

Truck crane Galician 25 tons - features, scope of application

Galichanin truck cranes are used for lifting work in the following industries:

• industrial and residential construction;
• installation, road work;
• laying oil and gas pipelines;
• mining;
• carrying out any lifting work at objects remote from each other.

Peculiarities:

• the ability to work on a close support body, when the supports do not extend beyond the transport dimensions of the crane;
• Installing the crane on supports with the outrigger beams retracted - for more comfortable work on a worksite of insufficient size.

Extending the boom with a load on the hook gives the crane the opportunity to place loads in inconvenient, inaccessible places, and move them in a limited space among already erected buildings.

Common parameters

Galician cranes 25 tons have several common characteristics and parameters:

• installation on three-axle chassis of KAMAZ, MAZ or URAL vehicles;

• auto-inflation of the tubes ensures the required tire pressure when the quality of the road surface changes, which makes the truck crane even more passable;

• Galician cranes are equipped with YaZ or KamAZ diesel turbo engines with power = 230-300 hp;

• the crane installation operates from the PTO and gearbox;

• It is possible to increase the length of the boom due to additional installation of a lattice jib, length = 9 m;

• crane load limiter ONK-160 with a microprocessor data collection unit has telemetric memory, protects the mechanism from overload or tipping;

• crane protection module from dangerous voltage (MZON) for work near power lines;
• operating temperature range ±40ºС;
• load moment = 80 tm;
• travel speed up to 60 km/h.

Variety of truck crane models

Load-lifting equipment "Galichanin" is represented by a wide range of models, in which self-propelled cranes, in addition to the chassis, differ in technical characteristics and functionality. The boom length of different models can range from 21.7 m to 51 m, and the load capacity can range from 25 to 100 tons. The table shows the most popular representatives of truck cranes produced by the Galich plant:

There is a Galician truck crane for military purposes. The KS-65713-5M model is designed to work with ordinary and dangerous cargo up to 50 tons in any conditions, including field conditions. It can also be used to perform tasks on floating berths of the navy.

Price

The cost of a Galician consists of several components:

• chassis;
• load capacity;
• boom length (if there are several options).

A crane based on the Urals will cost less than a similar model based on KamAZ. A 25-ton crane with a boom length of 21 m will cost almost 2 times less than the same one, but with a boom length of 40 m. The Volvo chassis will be more expensive than the MZKT, the KamAZ will be cheaper.

According to the manufacturer’s price lists, the cost of the basic configuration of the Galician starts from 7.5 thousand rubles.
