[0002] The cellar crane is a lifting equipment specially used for stirring and compacting fermented materials in the production process of wine cellars or wineries. It usually consists of a crane body, a stirring device and a control system. The crane body of the cellar crane has a stable structure and a strong lifting capacity, and can carry barrels or hoppers with large operating weight. The stirring device usually consists of a stirrer or a stirring blade, which is used to stir and mix the fermented materials to promote the uniformity and quality of fermentation. The control system realizes the compaction and stirring operation of the fermented materials by manipulating the movement of the crane and the rotation of the stirring device. The operation of the cellar crane usually requires manual operation. The operator controls the movement of the crane and the rotation of the stirring device through the control system to complete the compaction and stirring operation of the fermented materials. The operator needs to have certain skills and experience to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the operation.
