| grúa viajera self-propelled crane on wheels / bridge crane Explanation: Te doy dos opciones. Habría que ver las fotos. La primera es como un tipo de grúa automóvil. La segunda está pegada del techo en las bodegas. Cuando yo era chico me despidieron porque fabriqué un motor para impulsar una de esas cosas en una fundición de Medellín... Hubiera resultado tres veces más barato importarlo! Un beso para ti. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr 20 mins (2004-03-26 01:50:37 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Observa acá una del segundo tipo: http://www.dovebid.com/assets/display.asp?ItemID=lst110258&b... Las otras tienen ruedas, se desplazan por el puerto, etc, pero no tienen tanta capacidad como estos monstruos. Tu contexto no explica. |

peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1traveling crane Explanation: can be double- or single girder, often of the "overhead" variety. "Traveling crane: A single or double girder bridge crane running on two or more straight runway tracks with a hoisting system designed for lifting, transporting and lowering loads." Definition from www.americancrane.com -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2004-03-26 02:51:07 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Glossary URL for above definition: http://www.americancrane.com/glossary/TRAVELING_CRANE.htm -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2004-03-26 08:43:46 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- As I understand it, a mobile crane can be moved from one location to another, whereas a traveling crane is mounted on a bridge structure at a fixed location such as inside a power plant, and runs back and forth on tracks (the \"runway\"). There are also polar cranes which move around in a circle on fixed curved tracks, and are most often used in nuclear power plant containment buildings to handle removal and reinsertion of reactor internals (fuel and control rods, etc.). I think your grúas de pórtico are gantry cranes, and the grúas autotransportadas I would call truck cranes, but I\'m not absolutely sure about that one. There\'s a picture of one here: www.autocrane.com. Note that the term \"auto crane\" is used almost exclusively on English translations of foreign Web pages. You should also check the North American Industries site (www.naicranes.com); they have pictures of a number of different types of cranes, and their pages are also offered in Spanish (which looks generally reasonable to me, although some accents are missing). Definitions of all kinds of cranes here: www.dir.ca.gov/OSHSB/trolleyhoistsapprvd.doc Note that some crane definitions overlap. A gantry crane, for example, can be mobile or fixed. |
