Summer Crane Fire Prevention Guide

Publication Date: 2025-05-27

Summer is coming, the temperature is rising, mechanical equipment, especially cranes and other large engineering vehicles in the high temperature environment, frequent operations, is very easy due to rising temperatures, equipment aging or improper operation triggered spontaneous combustion, resulting in casualties and property damage. In order to effectively prevent the crane fire accidents, safeguard operation safety, crane driver and management personnel must enhance risk awareness, strengthen equipment management, implementation of fire prevention measures.

 

I. Main Causes of Spontaneous Combustion in Cranes

· Aging or Leakage of Oil Circuit System

Aging fuel pipelines, poor sealing, loose pipe joints, and other problems may easily lead to oil leakage, which may cause combustion in case of high temperatures or electric sparks.

 

· Short circuit or improper wiring

Aging of wiring, broken insulation, improper connection or poor contact of electrical components may cause a short circuit or electric arc, which may lead to fire.

 

· High temperature ignition of combustible materials

High engine compartment temperature, prolonged exposure to the sun, poor heat dissipation, etc., will often ignite the accumulation of dust, oil, or residue, which is the most common cause of fire in summer.

 

· Equipment failure or an impact fire

Mechanical failure caused by overheating, abnormal friction, or impact damage to pipelines and circuits during operation may also become the source of fire.

 

Ⅱ. Summer crane fire safety recommendations

· Choose a reasonable site, standardize parking

Avoid parking the crane in gas stations, chemical warehouses, flammable materials stacking area and other dangerous areas. Avoid parking the crane in hazardous areas such as gas stations, chemical warehouses and areas where flammable materials are stacked.

 

· Refuse illegal operation

In case of malfunction, do not “jump-start” the test in the engine compartment, not to mention using open flame to repair, so as to avoid electric arc or high temperature ignition.

 

· Control idling time, prevent overheating

Cranes idling for a long time will lead to a sharp increase in the engine compartment temperature, accelerate the aging of wires, rubber parts, enhance the risk of spontaneous combustion. In hot weather, shorten the idling time and rationalize the operation rhythm.

 

· Strictly prohibit the storage of flammable and explosive items

High-risk items such as gasoline, diesel fuel, lighters, aerosols, etc. should not be stored in the cab, and you should also avoid carrying fireworks into the vehicle.

 

· Regulate the use of cigarette lighter and prohibit smoking inside the car

Check whether the cigarette lighter can be popped up properly to prevent fire from continuous heating. Smoking in the vehicle is strictly prohibited, especially in confined spaces and during operations.

 

· Modify safely and use regular parts

If you need to add electrical appliances or equipment, choose original or qualified brand products to avoid accidents caused by mismatched wiring and excessive current load.

 

· Regularly check oil and electric lines

Adopt the habit of checking once a week and at least once a month, focusing on whether the oil joints, wire insulation, line wiring are standardized, and whether there is any abnormality such as breakage and heat.

 

· Be highly alert to abnormal odors

If you find abnormal odors such as oil smell, burnt smell, rubber smell, etc. while driving or working, you should stop immediately to check and investigate hidden dangers, and put an end to the fluke mentality.

 

· Equip fire extinguishers and maintain them regularly

Each crane must be equipped with qualified fire extinguishers, which should be placed in a position for quick access. Regularly check the pressure gauge, nozzle and agent status and replace them according to the prescribed cycle.

 

· Regular Professional Maintenance

Regularly visit a professional maintenance station to fully check the fuel, electric circuit, hydraulic and engine systems, and deal with hidden dangers promptly without leaving any dead ends.

 

Once you find smoke or fire in the vehicle, you should immediately turn off the engine and disconnect the power, and use the fire extinguisher to extinguish the fire at the root of the fire source; when the fire cannot be controlled, quickly evacuate to a safe area and call the police for help at the first time. After extinguishing the fire, check the entire vehicle system in time and have it evaluated and repaired by a professional if necessary.

 

Safety is no small matter, and prevention is better than rescue. Especially in the hot summer, crane operators should always tighten the “safety string”, do the daily fire prevention work carefully and practically, to ensure that every time out of the car, every lifting are safe and worry-free.
