Structural design of a new portal level luffing boom crane ‘MARK-36’ for KONECRANES Ukraine was done using FEM 1.001. The FEM Analysis checking of wheel forces, static strength, fatigue, buckling were carried out and based on the obtained results the necessary reinforcement proposal were done.

Structural analysis for the Quay Crane modification project. The crane outreach was going to be increased so the FEM analysis has been used to check of wheel forces on quay rail, structure static strength, fatigue, buckling according to FEM 1.001.

In order to check the possibility of the Ship Loader productivity increase the following has been done Structure, safety devices, mechanisms survey Check if the machine structure strength is sufficient for operating with increased loads, structural analysis. The structure residual life assessment Check if the wheel load of the machine on the quay after reconstruction…

Plastic deformations have been detected in the boom structure. The crane’s warranty period hadn’t expired at that time. The manufacturer stated that the damage was the maintenance staff fault. Using strain gauge measurement and structural analysis it was shown that the problem was caused by the boom forestay force unequal distribution.
