Power Retractable Feed Leg
- Design: The feed leg is typically a long, cylindrical or rectangular metal component that provides vertical support for the equipment. It can either be a single leg or multiple legs depending on the design of the machine. The leg structure must be strong enough to support the equipment’s weight and withstand various environmental forces, such as vibrations and dynamic loads.
- Applications: Power retractable feed legs are widely used in a variety of heavy-duty industrial, construction, and mining applications. Their primary function is to provide stability during operation, while also offering convenience during transport and storage.
- Drilling Rigs: In drilling operations, power retractable feed legs are used to stabilize the drilling equipment. The feed legs provide support during drilling activities, particularly when drilling deep holes in the ground. When not in use, the retractable legs allow the rig to be compacted for easier transportation between job sites.
- Cranes and Material Handling Equipment: In cranes, especially mobile cranes, the feed legs can be used to provide stability when the crane is in operation. These legs are extended to support the weight of the crane while it is lifting heavy loads. The retractable feature is important for quick storage and transport, allowing the crane to fold its legs when moving to the next location.
- Construction Equipment: Various types of construction machinery, such as excavators, loaders, and pile drivers, may use power retractable feed legs to maintain stability during heavy lifting, digging, or material handling. The legs ensure that the machine remains level and stable, particularly when working on uneven surfaces or under heavy load conditions.
- Mining Equipment: Power retractable feed legs are commonly used in mining equipment, such as drill rigs, where equipment stability is crucial for drilling holes or setting explosives in mines. The retractable nature of the feed leg allows miners to move the equipment into position quickly and retract the legs when it is necessary to transport the equipment between locations.
- Materials: Precision manufactured parts that run better and wear down slower. In-house manufactured parts last longer and perform better
- Configurations: 36″ to 54″ in length
