Analysis of the front carrier stability considering real-time offset of the spreader

Abstract

Frontal carrier is often used to stack and transfer containers at freight terminals or inland transfer stations, and the requirement of its security is increasing. Since the lifting point is located in front of the vehicle body, it is also necessary to move the spreader left or right in real time to adjust the position of the lifting point during the lifting process. While the boom extends forward and the lifting load is large, the front carrier will be in a state of unbalanced stress, which increases the hidden danger of the front carrier overturning forward. This paper analyzes the influence of spreader offset on the change of overturning line of the frontal carrier while the frontal carrier is lifting a large load, establishes the coefficient to measure the anti-overturning stability of the frontal carrier, calculates the real-time lifting point position of the frontal carrier, and analyzes the spatial force system of the frontal carrier. By comparing the influence of spreader offset on the anti-overturning stability coefficient of the frontal carrier under different typical lifting conditions, this paper analyzes the change of anti-overturning stability coefficient, and gives the stability area diagram under given load, which provides a certain judgment basis for the safe operation of the frontal carrier.
