A method for adjusting the counterweight of a large crawler crane in a
coke oven renovation project is characterized by the following steps: a) Selecting a crawler crane based on the distance between the guide rail and the
coke oven,
lifting capacity, lifting
radius, lifting height, dimensions of a single main truss component, and the center of gravity of the component; b) Assembling the main steel truss; c) Conducting a pre-stress test in the crawler crane's travel area; d) Designing and fabricating several temporary supports; e) Preparing for dual-crane lifting with the crawler crane; f) Lifting the main steel truss to a position where the crawler crane, in non-overlift mode, meets the rated
lifting capacity requirement; g) Removing the overlift counterweight of the crawler crane at the end platform using an auxiliary crane; h) The main truss is first positioned by passing around the crawler crane from the outside of the guide rail to the temporary support in front of the
coke oven; i) The crawler crane at the end platform travels a certain distance unloaded towards the intermediate platform; j) The two crawler cranes, using the same lifting
radius, lift the main truss into position synchronously. This invention has the advantages of assembling the main truss without affecting
coke oven production and meeting the site and time requirements for
coke oven maintenance.
