Crane-Rails Standard flat-bottom rails are usually used for light to medium duty applications, but because of their height-to-width ratio they may be prone to overturning when subjected to large lateral loads. Their relatively thin webs are also subject to a combination of high vertical stress and bending stress from the lateral loads causing what could […]

Crane Girders – Introduction

Introduction to Crane-Beams and Girders Crane-Beams of Girders, are a stand-alone structural component, in that unlike conventional beams and Plate-Girders they have to withstand high lateral forces generated by the movement of the crane gantry along the track, and the cross-movement of the trolley across the crane gantry. Additionally, they have to resist the longitudinal
