How to calculate the span of bridge crane

Many customers are asked what is the span when buying a bridge crane? Some customers may not know how to measure the span. Our editor will introduce how to calculate the span of the bridge crane .

The span of the bridge crane refers to the distance between the two track centerlines of the bridge crane running track, which is called the span of the crane. Denoted as: L. The unit is generally: M (meter). The span of the crane is directly related to the length of the main girder, and will also affect the structural design of the main girder of the crane. So it is a more important parameter.

If the user’s plant is a steel structure, the designing unit will design the crane’s load-bearing beams and rails. The user can calculate the span of the crane based on the center distance between the two rails.

If the factory building is an old-fashioned concrete reconstruction and it is necessary to install load-bearing beams and tracks on the horns, then the distance between the center of the track and the width of the factory building will have a lot to do with. In order to ensure the normal installation and operation of the crane, there should be a distance of at least 25 cm between the single beam подкрановый путь and the edge of the factory building. There should be a distance of 40 cm between the double beams. Users can install load-bearing beams and tracks according to this distance, and calculate the span of the crane.

The span of the bridge crane also has a lot to do with its cost, so when the user consults for a quotation, he must have at least a rough span value before he can give a quotation.
