Overview

Welcome to TQ Crane, your one-stop destination for all your heavy industry and engineering needs. In this section, we provide a comprehensive collection of load charts, enabling you to find the necessary information for optimal crane operations. Our load charts are carefully curated to meet industry standards and provide you with detailed insights for safe and efficient lifting operations.

Understanding Load Charts

Load charts are an essential tool for crane operators, engineers, and project managers involved in heavy lifting operations. They provide crucial information about a crane's lifting capacity, working radius, and other important factors that determine safe and efficient operations.

Our load charts are meticulously prepared, taking into consideration factors such as boom length, jib length, counterweight, and other specifications specific to each crane model. This ensures that you have access to accurate and reliable information, allowing you to plan and execute your lifts with confidence.

Key Elements of a Load Chart

A load chart typically consists of several key elements, each providing vital information for proper crane usage:

1. Crane Model and Configuration

The load chart begins with the crane model and its specific configuration, such as boom length, jib extension, and counterweight setup. This information helps you identify the capabilities and limitations of the crane.

2. Working Radius

The working radius is the distance between the crane's center of rotation and the tip of the boom or jib. It indicates how far the crane can reach horizontally.

3. Maximum Lifting Capacity

One of the most critical aspects of a load chart is the maximum lifting capacity. This value varies depending on the crane's configuration and working radius. It helps you determine the load weight that the crane can safely lift at a specific radius.

4. Lifting Heights and Boom Angle

Load charts also provide information on lifting heights and the corresponding boom angle. This allows you to plan lifts at different heights and adjust the boom angle accordingly.

5. Load Moment Indicator (LMI)

An LMI is a device that measures the load moment, which is the product of the load weight and radius. It helps monitor and prevent overload situations, ensuring safe crane operations.

Importance of Accurate Load Charts

Accurate load charts are crucial for maintaining safety in heavy lifting operations. Relying on incorrect or outdated load charts can lead to accidents, equipment damage, and project delays. At TQ Crane, we understand the importance of providing you with up-to-date and precise load charts that comply with industry standards.

Our team of experts works diligently to ensure that the load charts we offer are current, reliable, and easily accessible. We continuously update our database to reflect changes in crane configurations, regulations, and safety guidelines.

Choosing the Right Load Chart

With a wide variety of load charts available, it can be overwhelming to select the one that best fits your needs. At TQ Crane, we offer an extensive collection of load charts for different crane models, manufacturers, and configurations.

To ensure you choose the right load chart, consider the following factors:

1. Crane Model and Configuration

Make sure the load chart matches the specific crane model and its configuration. Using a load chart that does not correspond to your crane can result in inaccurate lifting capacity calculations.

2. Application and Load Type

Consider the nature of your lifting operation and the type of loads you typically handle. Load charts may differ depending on the type of load, such as concrete, steel, or machinery. Select a load chart that aligns with your specific requirements.

3. Working Radius

Take into account the required working radius for your lifts. Select a load chart that provides detailed information for your desired radius range.

4. Safety Standards and Regulations

Ensure the load chart complies with industry safety standards and regulations. This helps guarantee that your lifting operations meet all necessary safety requirements.
