Overview

This document provides detailed technical specifications for standard single welded-box cranes equipped with electrical wire rope hoists, identified as models MPS3.1 and MPS3.2. It includes base data, dimensions, static load reactions, and deadweight for various crane capacities and configurations.

1. Technical Specifications

1.1 Capacity and Dimensions

The cranes are specified for lifting capacities ranging from 1 ton up to 10 tons. Key dimensional parameters include:

• Span (S): Typically 15.5 m for lower capacities, increasing with capacity.
• Lifting Height (HL): Options of 6 m, 9 m, and 12 m.
• Lifting Speed (VL): Variable speeds depending on model and capacity.
• Hoist Power (Pkw): Power ratings vary from approximately 0.4 kW to 1.6 kW for smaller capacities, up to 1.6 kW for larger capacities.
• Hoist Headroom (HP), Total Beam Height (LP), and other structural dimensions: Provided for each capacity to ensure proper fit and clearance.

1.2 Load Reactions

The document details static load reactions including:

• Maximum and Minimum Vertical Reactions (RVMaxi, RVMini): Forces exerted on crane supports under load.
• Transversal Load (RT): Load due to crab movement.
• Horizontal Load (RH): Load due to bridge braking.

1.3 Deadweight

Each crane configuration includes the total deadweight (empty weight) in kilograms, which increases with capacity and size, ranging from approximately 2450 kg for 1 ton capacity cranes to over 6900 kg for 10 ton capacity cranes.

2. Parameters and Definitions

The document defines key parameters and abbreviations used throughout the tables, including:

• Force (P): Load capacity.
• Portée (HL): Lifting height.
• Vitesses de Levage (VL): Lifting speeds.
• Puissance (Pkw): Power rating.
• Hauteur perdue (HP): Hoist headroom.
• Hauteur totale poutre (LP): Total beam height.
• Réactions verticales, transversales et horizontales: Load reactions on crane structure.

3. Notes and Limitations

The data provided are indicative and not contractual. The manufacturer (ADC) reserves the right to modify crane characteristics without prior notice. This disclaimer emphasizes that the specifications may change due to design improvements or other considerations.

4. Summary of Key Recommendations and Best Practices

• Ensure selection of crane capacity and dimensions matches the operational requirements including lifting height and span.
• Consider static load reactions carefully for structural support design and safety.
• Account for deadweight in installation and foundation planning.
• Verify clearance and approach dimensions (AD1, AD2, HA1, HA2) to ensure compatibility with building and operational environment.
• Regularly consult updated manufacturer data to accommodate any modifications.

5. Data Tables

The document contains extensive tabulated data correlating crane capacity with dimensions, power, speeds, and load reactions. These tables serve as a reference for engineers and planners to select appropriate crane models and configurations.

Note: Due to the technical nature and volume of data, users should refer to the original tables for precise values when designing or specifying equipment.
