Elevator plants

Gantry cranes are used to move containers speedily and can significantly increase productivity in Container Terminals as they are able to perform either single or double elevator operations. The reliability of high- performance cranes is a function of several factors such as good initial design,  accurate structural analysis and also an exact schedule for periodical inspection to guarantee the machine’s structural integrity in operation. Through our experience and advanced engineering expertise in elevator plant design we are in an excellent position to help crane builders improve the technological level of the machines they produce.

SERVICES FOR MANUFACTURERS AND HARBOUR AUTHORITIES

  • At the feasibility study and concept development stages, we can help you envisage the new crane’s overall structure and layout, so a solid foundation can be established for the development of the subsequent stages.

  • At the preliminary design stage guidelines are set for the subsequent steps in design. Any potential criticalities emerging at this stage are discussed with the customer, analyzed and solved before taking any further steps.

  • At the design review stage, by focusing on the optimization of each single component, we assist you in making the final choices before the detailed design stage.

  • At the detailed design and shop drawing stages, all solutions previously agreed upon are engineered through a process of detailed structural analysis, optimization, verification of conformity with technical standards, in full respect of contract specifications.

  • At the end of the detailed design process we provide you  with a report including the calculation of all structural details, the complete shop drawings with a list of components (both technical and commercial), a specification of materials and a Welding Procedure Specification.

THE STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF THE CRANE

An exact analysis and calculation of the structural components of the crane is essential to reduce the risk of fatigue failures which would be really critical in view of the potentially severe working conditions of cranes. Moreover, an optimization of the project through numerical analysis allows for significant reduction in costs for production, machine stops and maintenance.
