“Female driver” for gantry crane

2021-03-10 15:34:01

CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- There is a busy scene on the construction site of Wangjiacheng Station of Chongqing Rail Transit Line 4. The shield machine moves forward underground. On the ground, the orange-red gantry crane slides slowly on the slide rail, and the hook rises and falls, lifting the shield segments and muck in an orderly manner with a weight of dozens of tons, while the driver of the large gantry crane is Ye Yiqiong. On the construction site, there are not many female drivers who can drive such a big “vehicle”. Because the gantry crane cab is hanging in the air, everyone calls her the “girl in the air”. Let's me show you the story about her.

Perched nearly 10 meters above the ground, her “office” looks small against the huge steel frame structure. From the ground to the cab, she climbs two floors on her hands and knees on a steel ladder that slopes nearly 70 degrees.

This is a cab with an area of about two square meters, with windows on three sides showing a wide view. A single seat in the cab takes up most of the space. On either side of the seat, there are joysticks and control buttons.
