About Safety Machines/Cranes Used By Construction Site Workers

by Ravi Kant SEO Expert and SMO Manager
India is one of the fastest growing countries in the world and the infrastructure is changing rapidly. It is constantly evolving with time and a big contribution to these modern looking buildings are by the construction industry.

Construction Industry in India
Construction Industry is a massive sector in India offering employment opportunities to all categories of people from highly skilled to totally unskilled labors.

EOT CRANE DOUBLE GIRDER

Nearly 41 million people are currently working in the construction industry out of which nearly one fourth are women. This is still growing every day because a lot of people migrate from rural areas to urban cities looking for the source of livelihood because these workers get paid on daily basis.

Because of the rapidly growing numbers, the construction industry in India is highly prone to hazards and fatal accidents take place at the construction sites causing permanent/temporary disability and death of the site workers. The reason behind this is that workers coming from rural areas don’t have any safety training in construction safety to be informed about the safety precautions.

Risks faced by construction site workers

Some of the risks that the construction workers are facing today are-
  1. Pain or Injury from physical overexertion
  2. Repetitive manual tasks, or working in an awkward position.
  3. Exposure to harmful chemicals or radioactive material.
  4. Working with high voltage equipment without safety gears
  5. Fall from roof, scaffolds, ladders
  6. Falling materials and objects

Efforts by Indian Government

Efforts are taken by the government by setting up the National Safety Council (NSC). NSC generates, develops and sustains a voluntary movement on safety, health, and environment at the national level. Many initiatives are being taken to spread awareness regarding the safety norms for the construction workers.

Many construction giants are taking up modern trends and technique like ISO certification, under which they are to undertake the safety of their workers, set up safety organization, issue safety policy, safety checklist, safety manuals, etc.

In addition, to prevent these kinds of accidents and mishappening, there are many machines and cranes that are manufactured for the transportation of heavy equipment. Some of those machines are:

EOT Cranes

Electric overhead traveling crane (EOT) crane is one of the most common types of overhead cranes. These EOT cranes are mostly used in factories where raw materials and finished goods are moved in and out on regular basis. EOT cranes are also used to move machines/ equipment during new installation services.

EOT CRANE SINGLE GIRDER

There are major two types of EOT Cranes-
Single Girder Cranes have one main bridge and are comparatively much lighter in structure. This crane is much useful for light industrial application.

The main component of the single girder cranes, manufactured by EOT Crane SIngle Girder manufacturer include an electrically managed hoist, main bridge, and end beams.

EOT Crane Double Girder is much more cost-effective and is used for the operation that requires a higher load-carrying capacity. Unlike EOT Crane Single Girder this crane has two main bridges which make them more sturdy and robust in structure.

The EOT cranes are built with better aesthetics and utility than single girder cranes. While buying these cranes make sure about the quality assurance by the EOT Crane Double Girder Manufacturer.

  • Gantry Crane

GANTRIES
A Gantry Crane is one of the many cranes that lift objects by a hoist which is fitted in a hoist trolley and moves horizontally on a rail or pair of rails fitted under a bean. Gantry cranes are known for being able to lift extremely heavy objects.

Gantry cranes are often used for shipbuilding where the crane straddles the ship allowing huge objects like the ship’s engine to be fitted in the ship. Gantry cranes come in the various sized which can be used in various industries. Gantries manufacturers in Ludhiana are known for the supreme quality Gantry Cranes.
