Tower crane KB-408 is a mobile full-revolving rail-mounted crane equipped with a slewing tower, a cargo compartment and a beam boom. The design features of special equipment allow it to be used in industrial construction for vertical and horizontal transportation of building materials and parts weighing up to 10 tons.

Design features of special equipment

The running frame of the KB-408 tower installation is traditional for this series of special equipment. The design is equipped with swivel-type weathercocks and a portal, the idea of ​​which was borrowed from the previous model of this series - the KB-160 crane installation.

The equipment of the tower is unified with elements of similar truck cranes model range KB. The designers made significant changes to the head of the KB-408 turret. The difference from previous models lies in the size of the chain hoist ropes and the total number of inventory sections (depending on the modification - from 2 to 6 pcs.).

It is also worth noting that the head section of the KB-408 tower is subject to disassembly, which greatly simplifies the transportation of special equipment to the construction site.

The KB-408 control cabin is designed specifically for a high crane, which implies its placement at a height of more than 20 m. The installation methods for this structural element are traditional for installations of this line. Improved cabin tower crane KB-408 is distinguished from the base model by the following advantages:

Crane control cabin KB-408

• ergonomic design;
• modern security system;
• wide view;
• innovative heating panels;
• air conditioner.

The main boom of the KB sectional type is made of high-strength metal pipes, the arrangement of which creates a lattice structure, the sections of which are securely connected by flange fasteners. A cargo cart is fixed on the boom, the movement of which is regulated by inclination.

The hook clip of the tower crane is made in the form of a two-axle suspension. The design consists of a pair of cheeks and axles on which traverses, hooks and blocks are mounted. The structure is equipped with casings to protect the hook block blocks.

Technical parameters of KB-408

High carrying capacity and productivity of the equipment are due to the technical characteristics, detailed description which are given in the table.

Features of transportation and crane control

To transport a full swing crane to the construction site, the boom, cargo trolley and other large structural elements are dismantled. With the help of rolling carts they move to construction site inventory compartments, reinforced concrete ballast plates and boom.

For transportation and the possibility of further control of the crane KB-408 prerequisite is the permission of the State traffic inspectorate. As a result of coordinating the procedure for transporting and operating equipment with the relevant authorities, permission is obtained to leave and use the crane. In some cases, in accordance with the traffic rules, an escort car may be issued.

Only a qualified crane operator who has the appropriate education, has the skills to work with special equipment, knows the structure of the installation and the rules of conduct in emergency situations is allowed to operate the KB-408 crane.

The KB-408 tower crane is a special rail-mounted technique used for mechanization construction works, at a height of up to 72.7 meters and with loads up to 10 tons.

Tower crane KB-408 is a construction mobile full-revolving rail crane with a swivel tower and beam boom with a cargo trolley that provides vertical and horizontal transportation of building parts and materials. The crane is transported from object to object disassembled. Installation is carried out by our own mechanisms and with the help of a truck crane.

The KB408 crane belongs to the 4th size group of tower cranes and has the same main units with cranes of this group.

Sectional boom design. The design of the crane boom is made of metal pipes in the form of a lattice structure, the boom modules are interconnected using flange connections. Crane KB 408 can be mounted with an inclined boom. The reach is changed by moving the carriage.

The crane tower has a modular design. The number of tower modules on KB-408 cranes varies from 2 to 5 pieces. (depending on the version of the crane).

The device of the tower crane KB-408

Turntable and swivel mechanism

The KB-408 platform is identical in design to the KB-160. The design of the rotary mechanism has been changed - it looks like a roller circle (in one row) with a diameter of 2500 mm. In addition, winches, blocks and electrical equipment for the cargo trolley appeared on the crane.

Running frame with swivel vanes

Running frame with rotary weathercocks, portal. Similar to the KB-401 and KB-402 series.

Portal

The design of the portal and the frame of the KB-408 crane is identical to the design of the KB-160 cranes.

tower sections

inventory sections. Quantity on taps from 2 to 5 (6) pcs. (depending on the version of the crane).

Tower

By design, the tower is unified with some units of the KB-160 crane, with the exception of the design and equipment of the tower head. It differs in the length of the chain hoist ropes and the maximum possible number of installed inventory sections, as well as the design of the head section of the tower has been changed - now it has become collapsible.

control cabin

A unified cabin for high cranes is installed on this crane (installation at a height of over 20 m). On the base, first-born model, a unified cab for low cranes is installed (installation at a height of up to 20 m). Mounting methods are similar to KB-160, as well as other series of cranes from the KB type. It differs from the cabin of the basic model in a more advanced design, adapted for convenient viewing at a higher crane height, and also differs in internal filling and equipment - improved insulation and heating panels. Additionally, it can be equipped with air conditioning.

Crane Boom

The design of the main boom is sectional. Made of metal pipes in the form of a lattice structure, the sections are interconnected using flange connections. A cargo trolley with a hook clip moves along the boom. The reach is changed by tilting the boom, as well as by moving the cargo trolley.

hook block

The hook cage is a two-axle suspension: two cheeks, two axles, on which blocks, traverses and a hook are installed on ball bearings. Additionally, there are metal outer protective covers for hook block blocks.

Technical characteristics of the tower crane KB-408

Video review of the tower crane KB-408

The tower crane in question is one of the most popular in the domestic market: in November 2017, the thousandth copy of the model was assembled. Due to what design features and technical characteristics does KB-408.21 keep the lead?

The manufacturer of tower cranes KB-408.21 is Crane Technologies LLC (the equipment is produced under the GIRAFFE brand). Note that a more modern version of the name of this model is SMK-10.200, but the double index continues to be used on the official website of the company.

The progenitor of the model manufactured today can be called the KB-160 (KB-401) crane, which was launched into production in the late 60s. Initially, the assembly of KB-408.21 was carried out at the Moscow Crane Plant "Severyanin" (from 1998 to 2001), but then the company completely stopped the production of this type of equipment. Since 2002, production has been launched at the Nyazepetrovsky Crane Plant (owned by Crane Technologies LLC).

Note that the design of the tower crane has undergone significant changes over the years. Already at the time of the transfer of production of KB-408.21 to Nyazepetrovsk, the configuration of the cabin and electrical cabinets was changed. The equipment produced at different factories had a number of other differences.
