***SETTING THINGS STRAIGHT*** Why Swing Bearing Selection is CRUCIAL for Long Life
E-Crane Quality: Swing Bearing Selection It has been mentioned that
E-Crane uses "Single Row Ball Slewing Rings" by our friendly competition. Let us set the record straight and give you some genuine information on "Slewing Rings" used by
E-Crane®.
The single row ball configuration with four point contact raceways is a commonly employed slew bearing for cranes and some material handlers. This design does not meet the
E-Crane standards!
Therefore E-Crane only uses 'Roller Slewing Rings' with a line contact between roller and raceway.
After three years of successful operation of their 1500 Series barge mounted E-Crane, Mulzer Crushed Stone ordered their second barge mounted E-Crane in 2014 for their Shamblin Stone operation in Dunbar, WV.
.
This machine is used for unloading barges of aggregate. The
E-Crane unloads the material directly into a hopper, located on an adjacent barge to the
E-Crane barge. Because the
E-Crane is barge mounted,
Mulzer has the flexibility to transport the entire barge unloading system to wherever they need to perform barge unloading operations.
