Mobile cranes

A mobile crane allows the operator(s) to work in elevated sites with no need of expensive, time-consuming scaffolding. It usually consists of an articulated and/or telescopic arm that lifts to a certain height a basket accommodating one or more operators. The variety of sizes and models, together with the high safety standards, require comprehensive engineering advice from preliminary design through structural calculation to experimental data acquisition. Our expert engineering advice on mobile cranes will help you optimize your project and thus enhance the product’s performances while reducing manufacturing time and costs.

SERVICES FOR MANUFACTURERS

  • We offer our support at the preliminary design stage to help you lay out the machine’s overall structure in order to optimally reduce its mass and size.

  • By means of multi-body simulation we can perform kinematic analyses of both rigid bodies and flexible parts, in order to define the machine’s standard working cycle.

  • We can define the sizing of the machine as a whole and design  the minute detail of both the structural subsystems and actuator systems.

  • We perform detailed structural calculations of each component of the mobile crane in order to identify the stress and strain conditions that can ensure optimal structuring of both the parts and the whole.

  • We perform elastic and fatigue calculations of the machine as a whole by implementing the most updated techniques in accordance with the latest standards.

  • We perform experimental tests on the prototype as a whole and on each one of its parts through accelerometer and strain gage evaluation.

REVIEWING THE DESIGN OF MOBILE CRANES

A detailed design review, leading to well thought-out, reliable and structurally solid solutions, affords huge advantages in terms of reducing weight, size and required actuator power. This means that the resulting mobile crane will be safe, durable in time, easy to build and assemble, light in weight, easy to move from site to site and thus suitable for meeting the final user’s most diverse requirements.
