ACG Crane Drum
The Core of Wire Rope Winding in Industrial Cranes
The crane drum is one of the most important components of the hoisting system, responsible for winding and guiding the wire rope. Proper drum design directly affects wire rope life, hoist performance and crane safety.
ACG designs and manufactures crane drums for wire rope hoists, open winches and industrial lifting systems.
Why Choose ACG Crane Drums?
Drum design and manufacturing is not only a machining process; it requires accurate calculations for drum diameter, groove layout, wire rope length, reeving arrangement and crane duty class.
Engineering Design for Extended Wire Rope Life
Groove machining quality, alignment and correct drum diameter directly affect lifting safety and wire rope service life.
