GIVEN DATA
Crane capacity = 55/15 tons (main/auxiliary)
Span length = 22 m
Width w = 2.2 m
Trolley structure
Mounting details on trolley structures
1. Crane gear box with shaft and coupling for trolley travel mechanism = 759.733 kg
2. Brake for trolley travel mechanism = 98.27 kg
3. Motor for trolley travel mechanism = 374 kg
4. Motor for main hoisting mechanism = 1285.533 kg
5. Floating shaft for main hoisting = 117.33 kg
6. Brake for main hoisting = 350.53 kg
7. Gear box for main hoisting = 3138.67 kg
8. Rope drum for main hoisting = 1776.867 kg
9. Equaliser block for main hoisting = 327.067 kg
10. Plumber block for main hoisting = 210.467 kg For auxiliary hoisting mechanism
11. Gear box = 1326 kg
12. Rope drum = 816 kg
13. Plumber block = 63.75 kg
14. Motor = 879.75 kg
15. Floating shaft with coupling = 127.5 kg
16. Brake = 230.25 kg
17. Equalizer block = 76.5 kg
18. Tension in rope round rope drum of main hoist = 43312.5kg
19. Tension in wire rope around the equalizer block of main hoist = 143375 kg
20. Tension in wire rope around the equalizer block of auxiliary hoist = 10500 kg
21.Tension in rope around the rope drum of auxiliary hoist = 5250 kg
DESIGN OF MAIN GIRDER:
1. Moving Loads: - Two wheel loads of the trolley each of ‘P’ equal to 23000kg separated by 2.2
m wheel base, moving from one end to other.
2. Dead loads: -
(a)Uniformly distributed load
i. Self-weight of girder: -
Empirical relation, G (main) = 10 x Q x (L-5) = 9350 Kg
ii. Half of self-weight of the horizontal truss as well as platform truss: -
W = 0.5 x G (main) / 6 = 1559 Kg
iii. Half of self-weight of cross bracing web = 0.5 x G(main) / 30 = 156 kg
iv. Total weight of rail = 220 kg
v. Half of self-weight of flooring: - 436 kg
(b) Concentrated loads
vi. Half of weight of operator’s cabin = 600 kg vii. Wmounting = 1500 kg
SIDE TRUSSES
Weight = 355.3 < 840 Kg, So Safe
Horizontal Truss
