| gantry crane operator training: Overview of Electric Overhead Traveling (EOT) Cranes A. Bhatia, 2014-09-27 An overhead crane, also known as a bridge crane, is a type of crane where the hook and line mechanism runs along a horizontal beam that itself travels on the two widely separated rails. Often it is in a factory building and runs along rails mounted on the two long walls. A gantry crane is similar to an overhead crane, but here the bridge carrying the trolley is rigidly supported on two or more legs moving on fixed rails embedded in the floor. Overhead traveling cranes are also available in various configurations. The two main categorizations are top-running versus under-running bridge cranes and single-girder versus double-girder bridge cranes. Crane travel is directed by an operator, either manually or with a wired pendant station or wireless controls that guide their electric- or pneumatic-powered travel. Typical uses include multi-directional movement of materials through the production process, support manufacturing, transporting heavy items to and from storage areas, loading or unloading activities inside a warehouse or onto open trailers or railcars. This 6-hr course presents an overview of electric overhead travelling cranes and discusses the mechanical aspects of appropriate selection and includes civil, structural and electric design parameters. This course is aimed at mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, structural engineers, construction engineers, factory and workshop operators, supervisors, O & M professionals, facility managers, estimators and general audience. No specific prerequisite training or experience is required. The course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of course materials. Learning Objective At the conclusion of this course, the reader will: -Learn about various types of overhead cranes. -Describe the components and terminology of overhead cranes. -Understand crane duty groups and service classification such as CMAA, HMI/ASME, FEM and ISO. -Learn about various types of hoists, their application and safety features. -Understand the various types of loads (forces) on the crane runway girder and the building structure. -Learn the methods of crane electrification including festoon systems. -Learn the types of motors and enclosures based on NEMA standards. -Understand the electrical grounding requirements per NEC and the control systems. -Learn standard specifications covering mechanical, structural, and electrical requirements. -Understand the key crane inspection and testing requirements as specified by OSHA. |

Crane operations in construction range from unloading and setting equipment on a one-time basis to using numerous cranes that perform multiple tasks on larger complex projects. This manual addresses these variables by clearly defining and assigning crane management responsibilities. It discusses issues such as safety plans, responsibilities, supervision and management, operations, training, manufacture, crane safety devices, and regulations in some detail as they relate to crane management. Appendixes are provided that list additional resources, manufacturers of crane safety devices, and explore case studies of crane accidents. |

| gantry crane operator training: Field Tests of a Model Health and Safety Program for the Mining Industry Robert H. Peters, Louis Schaffer, 1986 The objective of the project descibed in this report was to design and field test a model health and safety program at a coal mining company and a gold mining company. The model program was implemented primarily by providing training on loss control, accident investigation, and the operation of mobile equipment; and by providing technical assistance to help solve health and safety problems. Data were obtained from company records on occupational injuries, illnesses, accidents, and near misses; and through direct observation of employees performing a large number of randomly selected jobs. At the coal mine, employees were observed five times over a 15-month period. At the gold mine, employees were observed six times over a 16-month period. During the study, the percentage of sampled jobs containing one or more safety deficiencies decreased from 74.3 pct to 36.6 pct at the coal mine and from 86.4 pct to 19.1 pct at the gold mine. Work on this project was performed by Woodward Associates, Inc., under a Bureau of Mines contract. |
