Well as promised here are a few pictures of the finished product.This customer requested a special finish with the white enamel. Which
does make this a nice looking piece of equipment. This truss design allows the hoist to be nested up in between the two trusses increasing the allowable high hook clearance.
This truss design also offers much longer spans than are available from traditional Patented Track cranes. This crane was Designed for Williamson and Wilmer. Feel free to contact them for more details about the versatility of a TC/American truss crane. http://www.williamson-wilmer.com/
Truss Crane Advantages
ReplyDeleteTwin City Monorail single girder, double truss cranes use a single patented track bridge beam which is supported and reinforced with the addition of two truss structures to increase load carrying capacity of the bridge beam over a long span. The advantage of this type of structure over a box girder, top running crane (a possible alternative) is that the single girder, double truss crane is lighter in weight for a given span, more economical, plus more adaptable to various building structures, suspension limitation and hook coverage requirements. Any one or a combination of these can translate into savings for the customer through more efficient use of space, lower capital and operating costs plus the potential for greater operational flexibility during the lifetime of the unit.
