Cranes & Lifting
Cranes & Lifting Solutions with Stancor Plates
In the cranes and lifting industry, wear and tear can seriously impact operational efficiency. Stancor's specialized wear plates mitigate these issues, ensuring longevity and reliability.
The wear problem
Cranes often face sliding abrasion and impact wear in demanding applications. Components like hooks and lifting forks are the first to fail due to material fatigue in high-stress conditions.
Recommended plate by component
| Component | Grade | Thickness | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lifting Hooks | Stanhard 450 (450 HBW) | 10-30 | Enhanced resistance to sliding abrasion extends service life. |
| Forks | Stanhard 500 (500 HBW) | 15-50 | Superior toughness allows for sustained heavy-duty use. |
| Frames | Stanhard 550 (550 HBW) | 20-60 | High hardness provides exceptional wear resistance in heavy impact zones. |
| Sheaves | Stanhard 570 (570 HBW) | 15-40 | Resists gouging, prolonging operational lifespan. |
| Bumpers | Stanmor 477 (477 HB) | 10-20 | Effective in absorbing impact energy, minimizing damage. |
