| dc.description.abstract | A workshop screw actuated folding crane is hereby presented. Crane is indispensable equipment in engineering workshop for lifting and lowering of heavy machine components. Proprietary cranes as currently available in the market employ hydraulic pump/ram as the lifting device in the crane. Though possessing its own merits, hydraulic pump/ram requires intensive and regular maintenance, the systems often requires parts with a very high degree of precision; a small leak in the hydraulic pipeline can be catastrophic to the transfer of power and can cause workshop accident. Also preparing the crane for storage pose is a dangerous task since it requires detachment and moving of heavy crane parts to achieve. Hence this invention solved the two aforementioned challenges by replacing the hydraulic pump with a screw actuator device and by providing a mechanism for folding the in storage pose in a safe manner. It was so design as to be easy to fabricate using existing crane manufacturing capability, and with cost effectiveness in mind when compared with the current versions available in the market | |
