We can supply you with data on the static and dynamic forces generated by an overhead crane operation, including the following:

Maximum Wheel Load

Side Thrust Load

Collision Forces

Overturning Moments (for free standing overhead crane systems)

Overhead Crane Engineering & Inspections in Ontario

These loads are essential and very important factors to consider when performing a proper analysis on all kinds of industrial buildings utilizing overhead cranes. By proper analysis, the design engineer will be capable of assessing the following important structural members:

Roof beams (in case the overhead crane is an under running, roof mounted crane)

Building columns and corbels (or stools)

Building bracing system

Building foundation

All other additional loads on the building resulting from the overhead crane supporting structure (i.e. runway beams)
