METHODS FOR DETERMINING THE MASS OF ELEMENTS OF THE BOOM SYSTEM OF GANTRY CRANES

The theoretical issues of technologies for designing portal cranes using modern methods of determining the weight characteristics of each element of the boom system are investigated. The problem of complex synthesis of the gantry crane boom system is considered and proposals for the formation of input weight data for starting the program for calculating this system are presented. A method for calculating the weight of the boom system elements is proposed. The proposed method for determining the weight data was tested on the basis of the data of portal cranes in operation.
