Accidents Points for Launching Gantry in the Bridge Construction Process
To effectively prevent, timely control and eliminate the damage caused by sudden accident in the bridge construction process, reduce loss caused by the accident to a maximum extent, maintain interest of society and enterprise, ensure human and property safety, ZZHZ makes a series of measures to manage the launching gantry working.
What Factors Will Decide the Price of Launching Gantry?
The launching gantry is an equipment to install precast girder on prefabricated piers, making a huge contribution to bridge construction in China. With fast development of high speed railway, more and more launching gantry is widely used in the high speed railway construction. While price of launching gantry is quite different with larger fluctuation, why does it happen? Below is a simple analysis from ZZHZ:
- Different brand. Famous brand has better quality warranty, more considerate service and more guarantees compared with small factories. That makes a difference.
- Different type. According to different demands, each type for one customer group. Different needs, different type, then different cost leads to type difference.
- Old or new equipment. New equipment usually uses new technology and better spear parts which cause a rise of cost and expensive price. As time goes on and launching gantry prevails, the price will decline gradually.

What are Advantages of Walking Type Launching Gantry?
Walking type launching gantry is a new type of bridge construction crane fabricated to meet demands of market and actual working condition, combined with current successful experience of ZZHZ and other companies. It features:
The Fabrication Process of Bridge Girder Launcher

Launching Gantry
a. the bridge girder launcher mainly uses Q235B steels: the butt welds of cover board and web board, the outer lead weld of cover board and web board adopts Lincoln weld, other welds use CO2 gas shielded welding; welding material: welding rod of Lincoln weld H08A, and HJ431; welding rod of CO2 gas shielded welding: ER50-6; the electrode of tack welding uses J422 when the machine is assembled. The 100% ultrasonic inspection should be done for butt welding, the acceptance standard is GB11345-89, and the grade of welding quality is I grade; the welds between cover board and web board adopt melt thru weld, the 100% ultrasonic inspection is done after welded, and I grade is qualified. All of T joints do X-ray detection, the acceptance standard is GB3323-87, and the grade of welding quality is II grade.
