Crane Design


A near complete CAD model of the Crane design. It is an extension of the CAD model already seen. New Features consist of.
  • Flexible A frame design, allowing for extra strength but can also fold.
  • A hinged beam , allows for easy construction. Although it may weaken the design however Hinged beams have been used on commercial Gantry cranes that can lift up to two tonnes , so it will be strong enough.
  • A stablising leg , this indirect leg will only come into play if the crane is at the point of toppling, say if the crane had been put in a precarious position and the main beam was not straight where it may fall over, As an extra safety.
