 Crane Impact Factor Design Standards

   KBC2009

   ASCE 7

   AISE

   MBMA

   GB50009-2012

Thrust : Horizontal load acting perpendicular to the direction of crane movement.

Tractive : Horizontal load acting along the direction of crane movement.

Braking : Horizontal load due to the braking force along the direction of crane movement.

Vertical Impact Factor

Crane Load Result

Check wheel load value calculated using defined crane specification and impact factor.

F.S (Full Lifting Condition with Impact) : Wheel load of crane considering its full capacity specified in the specifications with impact factor.

F.N (Full Lifting Condition without Impact) :  Wheel load of crane considering its full capacity specified in the specifications without impact factor.

E.N (Empty Condition without Impact) : Wheel load of empty crane without impact factor.

Max : Maximum load

Min : Minimum load

 Defined crane specification can be saved in separate file format with Save File option. Open File can import saved crane specification.
