I am dealing with a waste container handling crane. Waste container is 12000kg. It is lifted by a grapple by twist locks at each corner. Height of lift is 14m. The contents of the container leads to an offset c of g which cannot be avoided. The containers are to be stacked 6 high. The crane...

Hey folks. A quick question. Not homework, very much work related. I've been asked to plan a lifting operation to lift a 30 metre long by 35te (metric tonne) spud leg from horizontal to vertical. The spud leg is essentially a cylinder approximately 2 meters in diameter. It is held at one end on...

Hey! I want to determine what bearings to use for this manual crane and the only thing i know is that it should be able to lift a wieght of 1000kg at max and that the winch should pull 1.24 m of cable/min. Im looking to find the force P to then determine C, and i think P is only the radial force...

Hello brilliant engineers. How to calculate the bending stress of a lattice boom crane design? It’s clear how to calculate a single chord in a lattice box, at least as a cantilevered tube. However, when placed in a box lattice what is the proper approach? I’m constructing this crane in...

A new, innovative type of crane is battery powered. Its battery has a total energy capacity U , expressed in Joule. Determine how many walls, N of mass m , the crane can lift before the battery has 20% left and needs to be recharged. The walls need to be lifted from /h_1/ to /h_2/ a new...

So I know Fcp=-m*w^2*r So from the equation -m*w^2*r=m*g*tan(theta) r = r1+r2 so to rewrite -m*(w^2)*(r1+r2)=m*g*tan(theta) So r1+r2=(m*g*tan(theta))/-m*(w^2) r1=((m*g*tan(theta))/-m*(w^2)) - r2 Am I doing this nearly correct?

Can someone please help me understand where I am going wrong. I've checked my answer many times and do not understand what I am missing

W= Fd W= 3NX1.20m W= 3.6 J is the work done by the crane W=Fd W=0.6Nx1.20m W=0.72 J is the work done by the car I have no idea how to solve the c, I am thinking at first that the work done by the crane and the car are zero because cos 90 is zero and there are perpendicular to each other. I...

These boat hauling cranes seem to extend their booms as high as possible. Much higher than necessary for the max height of the boat lifting rig. Does this accomplish something effort or safety-wise? It's not like a simple torque situation - the force applied is gravity - straight down - not...

Hi, how can one analyze the telescopic boom of a workshop crane in terms of bending ? Of course the worst case is when the boom is fully extended. Should we treat it as a beam with sudden change of cross-section (or otherwise - with sudden change of flexural stiffness) ? I know that there are...

Hi, Iam having a really hard time with this university project. The project is to design and calculate the hydraulics for a deck crane. The crane boom must be lifted with one or more cylinders and you want a boom angle from 0 to 80 degrees. Lifting capacity must be 10 ton on 20 m arm at a boom...

The question is number 25. Where is the tension on X greater. I think it would be A because you have the weight of not only box A but also the anchor pulling down on the rope.

Can a Bernoulli or Timoshenko model be reasonable for a crane arm, on ships? Yes, the arm might have a truss element, yes there is a hydraulic force to lift the arm (or cables). But to some extent, can one model the crane arm as one of a simple beam (either Timoshenko or Bernoulli -- and...

Hello, I have 2 pics about my case, I has designed crane boom and the problem has occurred when i came this point. As you see the pics, i want to find piston force. Could you help me about this ? (Dimensions=mm )

Dear All Masters I have problem with slewing bearing crane. My subcon made a crane that have a very high platform deck form slewing bearing. They said it is fine and the height is not an issue as it is in lower place. I know the higher the load from slewing bearing, the bigger the force or...

I am attempting the work out the forces acting on the base of a crane. I am yet to come across forces at the base of a crane and am confused as to how to work out the reactionary/moment forces. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Actually it is a simple one, but the point of view of the force acting in pic attach of some people are different. http://www.imagebam.com/image/ef24231032403754 http://www.imagebam.com/image/01c8e71032403724 The adding weight of hoisting slink blue and the pulley is neglected. I think the...

In tower cranes counterweights are placed on the counter jib to prevent the crane from falling over. Whereas on mobile cranes the counterweights are placed directly behind the cabin. The crane in itself also acts as some counterweight. My question to you is: How much weight can an object support...
