How to Select a Gantry Crane
To help you select a crane that is appropriate for your customer’s specific application — and to determine its price — you’ll need to gather the following information:
- 1) Capacity: The maximum weight of your customer’s applications must never exceed the crane’s capacity, as listed on the crane’s label.
- Design Load = Capacity x 1.4
- Crane’s Design Load = Crane’s Capacity + 15% x Capacity (for hoist and trolley weight) + 25% x Capacity (for impact)
- 2) Height Under Beam: The distance from the floor or lifting surface to the bottom of the beam.
- 3) Overall Crane Height:Under beam height + beam height + festooning (if required).
- 4) Overall Span: Total length of the crane’s I-beam bridge.
- 5) Clear Span: The distance between the inside of the crane’s legs.
