HOISTING FACILITES
PURPOSE
This document establishes guidelines and recommended procedures for the design of
Hoisting Facilities.
SCOPE
This document illustrates the designs of Bridge Crane Girders, Monorails and Jib
Cranes/Davit Columns using the latest code references. This guideline does not cover
curved monorails which shall be designed according to established principles of
mechanics and applicable codes.
APPLICATION
This document deals with the analysis and design of Hoisting Facilities. Hoisting
facilities normally encountered in industrial plants are bridge cranes, monorails, and jib
cranes.
Bridge cranes and monorails are commonly used in buildings and structures as a means
of lifting and moving loads from one place to another for maintenance purposes.
Jib cranes are commonly used to move loads short distances such as in loading or
unloading, and for maintenance.
DEFINITIONS
Bridge Crane: A device supported by a pair of support girders to lift large loads and move
them from one place to another and commonly used inside buildings.
Monorail: A single beam supporting the hoist unit's bottom flange hanging from
connections to its top flange.
Jib Crane:
Wall bracket jib crane serves as a supplement to regular traveling crane or monorail
for smaller loads along the wall or bay. The jib crane rotates up to 200 degrees,
serving the area within the radius of the beam's span.
Free standing jib crane also serves as a supplement to overhead traveling cranes.
The free standing jib cranes offer up to 360 degrees rotation without being attached
to building structure.

HOISTING FACILITES
CMAA 70 CRANE CLASSIFICATIONS

CMAA (Crane Manufacturers Association of America) has classified cranes into
categories listed below. The following classifications are taken from AISC Steel Design
Guide 7 which it takes directly from CMAA.
Class A (Standby or Infrequent Service)
This service class covers cranes which may be used in installations such as powerhouses,
public utilities, turbine rooms, motor rooms and transformer stations where precise
handling of equipment at slow speeds with long, idle period between lifts are required.
Capacity loads may be handled for initial installation of equipment and for infrequent
maintenance.
Class B (Light Service)
This service covers cranes which may be used in repair shops, light assembly operations,
service buildings, light warehousing, etc., where service requirements are light and the
speed is slow. Loads may vary from no load to occasional full rated loads with two to
five lifts per hour, averaging 10 ft per lift.
Class C (Moderate Service)
This service covers cranes that may be used in machine shops or paper mill machine
rooms, etc., where service requirements are moderate. In this type of service the crane
will handle loads which average 50 percent of the rated capacity with 5 to 10 lifts per
hour, averaging 15 ft, not more than 50 percent of the lift at rated capacity.
Class D (Heavy Service)
This service covers cranes which may be used in heavy machine shops, foundries,
fabricating plants, steel warehouses, container yards, lumber mills, etc., and standard duty
bucket and magnet operations where heavy duty production is required. In this type of
service, loads approaching 50 percent of the rated capacity will be handled constantly
during the working period. High speeds are desirable for this type of service wit 10 to
20 lifts per hour averaging 15 feet, not more than 65 percent of the lifts at rated capacity.
Class E (Severe Service)
This type of service requires a crane capable of handling loads approaching a rated
capacity throughout its life. Applications may include custom designed specialty cranes
essential to performing the critical work tasks affecting the total production facility.

HOISTING FACILITES
These cranes must provide the highest reliability with special attention to ease of
maintenance features.
DESIGN
CONDITIONS
The vertical and horizontal loads used in the design of Hoisting Facilities will consist of
the lifted load plus an impact load. Unless otherwise specified, the impact loads will be
taken as follows in accordance with ASCE 7-05 Section 4.10. ASCE 7 is referenced by
the International Building Code and is a legal requirement (AISC Steel Design Guide 7).
For Situations not covered in ASCE 7-05 refer to AISE (Association of Iron and Steel
Engineers) Technical Report No. 13.
Vertical Impact Forces
(ASCE 7 Section 4.10.2)
Bridge Crane Runway Beams and Connections

For cab operated cranes, use 25 percent of the maximum crane wheel loads.
For pendant and chain operated cranes, use 10 percent of the maximum crane
wheel loads.
Monorails and Connections

For pendant and chain operated cranes, use 25 percent of the lifted load.
Jib Cranes
Use 25 percent of the lifted load.
Lateral and Longitudinal Forces

(ASCE 7 Section 4.10.3)
Bridge Crane and Monorails

Lateral impact of 20 percent of the sum of lifted load, hoist and trolley (exclude
bridge weight), applied 1/2 to each runway beam or rails applied perpendicular
to runway beam.
Longitudinal impact of 10 percent of the maximum crane wheel loads to act
parallel to the runway beams.
Jib Cranes
Lateral impact of 25 percent of the lifted load (impact load percentage is defined
by this guideline to accommodate the nature of the Jib Crane but increase is not
referenced in ASCE 7).
Date 05 Nov 2008
Page 4 of 7
HOISTING FACILITES
Load Combinations
The vertical load may be combined with any of the impact loads. However, the vertical
and horizontal impact loads will not be considered as acting concurrently. Also, there
will be no increase in allowable stress. Vertical and Lateral Impact Loads are considered
live loads and should be factored accordingly.
Deflections
The maximum vertical deflections of runway beams, monorails, and jib cranes will not
exceed L/600 for simply supported beams and L/300 for cantilevered beams for CMAA
70 Classes A, B, and C. Impact will not be considered in determining deflections.
The maximum vertical deflection for CMAA 70 Class D cranes is L/800 for simply
supported beams and L/400 for cantilevered beams.
The maximum deflection for CMAA 70 Classes E and F cranes is L/1000 for simply
supported beams and L/500 for cantilevered beams.
Note:
Recommended values for deflection for cantilevered beams are L/600 for hoist
capacities up to 5 tons and L/1000 for larger hoist capacities. This is to reduce
the slope the trolley must climb at the end of the cantilever.
All runway beams loaded laterally with crane lateral loads shall not exceed a maximum
deflection greater than L/400.
Fatigue
High cycle loaded hoisting facilities will need be designed for fatigue loading. Refer to
AISC Steel Construction Manual, 13th Edition Appendix 3 for Fatigue Design.
RUNWAY BEAM
DESIGN
The runway beam will normally be designed as a simply supported member with the span
equal to the maximum spacing between adjacent supports.
Position the crane to produce the worst loading conditions using Table 3-23 on page 3226 of the AISC Steel Construction Manual (13th Edition).
Compute the required moment of inertias (Ix and Iy) to satisfy the deflection control
criteria.
Calculate the bending moments Mx and My including the effects of impact.
Date 05 Nov 2008
Page 5 of 7
HOISTING FACILITES
The bending stress will be checked for both single axis and biaxial bending. Make sure
to modify member properties for composite members with channel caps.
Refer to AISC Steel Design Guide 9: Torsional Analysis of Structural Steel Members on
methods to account for torsion in the runway beam. Another method to account for
torsion in steel members is provided in Steel Structures: Design and Behavior by Salmon
& Johnson.
An alternative more crude method of accounting for the eccentric lateral load is provided
in AISC Steel Design Guide 7: Industrial Buildings 2nd ed. This method considers weak
axis bending to be taken by only one flange in flexure. When checking bending stress
due to lateral loading, the section modulus of the section under investigation will be taken
as 1/2 its elastic value to approximate the effect of torsion for members without channel
caps. If there is a channel cap you will need to calculate the section modulus of the top
half section. AISC Steel Design Guide 7 Appendix A provides properties for wide flange
sections with channel caps.
Note:
The analysis for torsion provided by AISC Steel Design Guide 9 is the preferred
method over the method of taking only have the flange in flexure to account for
torsion. Consult your project lead in deciding which method to use. The sample
designs provided for in the appendix provide a solution for each method.
It is recommended that brackets or shear connections be used to support runway beams

with total reaction at the column of less than 50 kips. Preferably, bearing connections
will be used for reactions in excess of 50 kips. Do not use brackets for loads in excess of
50 kips.
MONORAIL DESIGN
The monorail beam will normally be designed as a simply supported member with span
equal to maximum spacing of adjacent supports. Frequently, the monorail beam will
extend beyond the last point of support. In this case, the beam will be designed as a
cantilever from the point of support.
The moment due to vertical loading will be calculated by assuming a point loading at the
trolley center.
For the cantilever, the unbraced length of compression flange will be taken as the length
of cantilever plus 1/2 the length of the adjacent span.
The lower flange of the monorail beam should be checked for local bending using AISC
(13th ed.) Section J10.
Date 05 Nov 2008

HOISTING FACILITES
JIB CRANE DESIGN

Jib cranes are either self-supporting or column supported.
Jib crane support columns will be checked for bending and axial load in accordance with
AISC Section H1 (13th Ed.).
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
As an integral part of a monorail or bridge crane design, the Structural Engineer should
prepare a sketch showing the relative height of items such as runway beams and bridges.
This sketch should also include the assumed dimensions for trolleys and hoist.
The Structural Engineer should obtain a copy of the supplier's drawing on all bridge
cranes, trolleys, and hoists. The weights and dimensions obtained from these drawings
should be compared with the values used in the original design. Any difference in the
actual and assumed values should be noted and acted upon accordingly.
