Crane Mechanism Design

CRANE MECHANISM DESIGN

Reliable crane mechanisms engineered for real operating conditions

We provide engineering and design of crane mechanisms for new equipment, modernization projects and existing crane systems. Each solution is developed considering operating loads, duty cycles, safety requirements and practical maintenance needs.

› Hoisting and lifting mechanisms
› Travel and trolley mechanisms
› Drive selection and load calculations
› Optimization of existing designs

WHAT WE DESIGN

Custom solutions for every type of the crane mechanism

Hoisting Mechanisms

Drums, ropes, sheaves, hooks and lifting arrangements designed for required loads and duty cycles

Travel Mechanisms

Wheel loads, drives, gearboxes and braking systems for crane travel mechanisms

Trolley Mechanisms

Trolley layouts, drive systems and supporting components for reliable operation

Drive Systems

Motors, gearboxes, couplings and brakes selected for required operating conditions

Mechanical Components

Shafts, bearings, wheels and mechanical interfaces designed and verified for service

Existing Mechanism Upgrades

Modernization and optimization of existing crane mechanisms and equipment

ENGINEERING BEHIND EVERY MECHANISM

Engineering calculations that ensure performance and reliability

Design decisions are supported by engineering calculations to verify performance, reliability and compliance with applicable requirements

Load calculations
Motor and gearbox selection
Brake selection and verification
Rope and drum calculations
Wheel load calculations
Dynamic load assessment
Fatigue considerations
Component sizing and verification
