What is point load of a crane?

Point loads occur when relatively high weights are concentrated on a small bearing area. So; point load on a crane with hooks is a load that is not centered. If you try to pick something up with the end of the crane hook, the load is not centered and would be "point loaded". This type of load will stress the crane cables. When the load falls off the hook-point, the crane cables react - and can break strands of the cable. The crane cable consists of an inner cable and outer cables - so as a load is placed on the cable, it stretches. If this load suddenly shifts or falls, the cables retract quickly and can break. This is dangerous, as you may not notice the inner cable has broke (could be a small bulge in the cable). Using the crane with a broken cable can cause it to fail and drop the load. A stable load is one in which the center of gravity of the load is directly below the main hook and below the lowest point of attachment of the slings. The center of gravity of an object is that point at which the object will balance. The entire weight may be considered as concentrated at this point. A suspended object will always move so that the center of gravity is below the point of support. In order to make a level or stable lift, the crane or hook block must be directly above this point. Thus a load which is slung above and through the center of gravity will be stable and will not tend to topple or slide out of the slings.

What is Procedure of inspection the eot crane?

1. check the hook without load like safety latch of the hook, Sheave for free of jam, Break& distortion of the hook. 2. Check the wire rope any defects like cuts, Distortion and Lubrication condition. 3. Check the structure of the crane like any cracks. 4. Check safety interlocks & limit switches. 5. Check leakages of the reducers & its abnormal noise. 6. check all the functions of the crane with and without load.


What is tipping load?

The tipping load is the hook load at a specified radius about a line called the tipping fulcrum, which causes the crane to tip. The crane rating is based on taking a percentage of the tipping load. In the United States and Canada, the ASME crane load rating is 75 percent for crawlers and 85 percent for truck cranes of the tipping load. In other industrial countries the crane load rating is 66.67 percent and 75 percent, respectively. A crane will tip when the overturning moment (moment of the load and boom about the tipping fulcrum) becomes close to equal to the crane resisting moment (moment of the machine weight about the tipping fulcrum). A stability test is conducted for truck and hydraulic cranes when the machine is in a state of balance about its tipping fulcrum. At this condition, the entire weight of the machine and load is being supported on two outriggers

When transferring a load from a crane hook to a chain block say in a building how much side angle from the line of the boom would you allow?

This doesn't seem like a smart thing to do.


Is a crane's working load the maximum weight it is able to lift?

The maximum load that the crane can lift is 18 metric tons (39,690 pounds), but the crane cannot lift that much weight if the load is positioned at the end of the jib. The closer the load is positioned to the mast (center of rotation), the more weight the crane can lift safely.
