Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electromechanical engineering technology, specifically to a crawler crane. Background Technology

[0002] A crawler crane is a type of lobe-rotating crane that uses tracks to move. Crawler cranes are characterized by their large track ground contact area, good maneuverability, strong adaptability, and ability to move with a load. Crawler cranes can perform various operations such as excavation, tamping, and pile driving, and are the main engineering machines for hoisting operations on construction sites.

[0003] When existing crawler cranes are lifting heavy objects, the connection between the lifting frame and the crawler drive assembly is subjected to the tension generated by the weight of the object. Over long-term use, the connection is prone to damage and is difficult to repair. Most crawler cranes need to install a reinforced base to increase their stability during lifting operations. However, in special environments, it may be inconvenient to install a reinforced base, which poses a risk of tipping over when lifting heavy objects. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a crawler crane to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] Preferably, two mounting tail plates are provided at the top of the reinforcing plate near the two support plates. The opposite ends of the counterweight box can be installed at the rear end of the mounting tail plates. When the crawler crane is not performing lifting operations, the connecting plate is placed inside the counterweight box, and then the counterweight box is installed at the rear end of the mounting tail plates, reducing the overall length of the crawler crane and facilitating transportation.

[0007] Preferably, one side of the extension rod and one side of the connecting plate are connected to a second fixing post. When the connecting plate is installed on the upper part of the extension rod, it is fixed by the second fixing post to ensure the stability of the installation.

[0008] Preferably, the counterweight box and the mounting base are connected to a first fixing post on one side. When the counterweight box is installed at the position of the mounting base, it is fixed by the first fixing post so that the counterweight box will not fall off.

[0009] Preferably, the front sides of the reinforcing plate are connected to the tracked drive assembly by a reinforcing steel frame. The reinforcing steel frame improves the strength of the connection between the reinforcing plate and the tracked drive assembly, making the crane more stable as a whole.

[0010] Preferably, a driver's cab is provided on one side of the top of the crane frame, where an operator can sit to facilitate the operation of the crane.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
