Here we explain the measures and precautions we implement to guarantee its optimal operation.

The importance of telescopic booms

Telescopic booms are the main boom of mobile cranes. mobile cranes and are designed to extend and retract according to the needs of the job. These structures carry significant loads and are subject to constant stresses, so any damage, such as deformation or cracking, can compromise both operation and safety.

Thorough inspection and preventive maintenance

At Grúas y Equipos García, we carry out regular inspections of the telescopic telescopic booms before each operation. These inspections include:

  • Surface check: We make sure that there are no cracks, corrosion or deformations.
  • Verification of welds: The integrity of the joints is evaluated to detect possible structural weaknesses.
  • Inspection of hydraulic systems: We check that the hydraulic cylinders and connections are working properly to avoid blockages or leaks.

Use of appropriate equipment

Each operation requires a prior analysis to determine the load conditions and the required length of the telescopic boom. Based on this:

  • We limit the scope according to the manufacturer's technical specifications.
  • We guarantee the use of stabilizers to provide balance and minimize undue stress on the structure.

  • Monitoring of load limits according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

Protection against external factors

Adverse weather conditions, such as strong winds or heavy rain, can influence the stability and strength of telescopic booms. In these cases:

  • We avoid operations if conditions are unsafe.
  • Covered and lubricated: Pens are properly stored to protect them from corrosion and contaminants.

Innovation and technology at the service of security

We have advanced technological systems to monitor the performance of our cranes in real time. Load and angle sensors integrated into the telescopic booms alert us to any irregularities, allowing us to make immediate adjustments and avoid incidents.

In conclusion, the care of telescopic booms is a task that requires experience, discipline and technology. At Grúas y Equipos García, we are committed to implement rigorous safety measures to ensure the proper operation of our industrial cranes, protecting both our equipment and our customers.
