BRIDGE GIRDERS

Double Girder Crane

Two bridge girders consisting of welded, or machine bolted structures. The girder towards the long travel machinery is known as drive side girder and the second girder as idle side girder.

Single Girder Crane

Only one girder consisting of a welded, or machine bolted structure. In this case the hoist machinery is suspended and runs on the bottom of the girder.

END CARRIAGES

These house the long travel wheels, driving as well as idle, and the girders are supported on them.

ELEVATION

PLAN

The figures indicate the general layout of the crane, however the actual layout is as per the assembly drawings.

CRAB

This consists of the hoist and the cross traverse machineries. (Aux. hoist if required)

Hoist Machinery consists of the following

1) Motor 4) Rope Drum
2) Brake

5) Wire Rope

3) Gear Box

6) Snatch Blocks

Cross traverse machinery consists of the following

7) Motor 9) Gear Box
8) Brake 10) Wheels
PLATFORM

This is a walkway along the length of the crane for maintenance purpose. It also provides support for the long travel machinery.

LONG TRAVEL MACHINERY

This machinery moves the crane along the length of the building and consists of the following

11) One motor at the centre of span or two motors connected directly to two wheels.
12) Brake
13) Gear Box
14) Wheels
15) Shaft along the full length.
CABIN

The cabin, if provided is suspended from one end, so positioned to give the operator an unobstructed view of the load to be handled. All the controls are housed inside the cabin.
