CRANES AND HOISTS
( First Revision )
0. F 0 R E W 0 R D
0.1 This Indian Standard (First Revision) was adopted by the Indian
Standards Institution on 27 ,111gust I9iG, after the draft linalized by the
Cranes and Allied Appliances Sectional Committee had been approved by
the Structurnl and hfctnls Division Council.
0.2 This standard covers dcsign ofstructural portion of crnws and hoists
and specifics pcrmissiblc strxwc~ and other &tails of drsign in order to
ensure economy in design and reliability in operation. To dcnl with the
subject conveniently? cranes have been broadly classified into four classes
depending upon thew duty and number of hours in service per year. The
correct classification of a crane is important and shou!d be the joint
responsibility of the purchnscr and the manufacturer. For guidance a few
typical cranes have been classified and shown in Appendix A.
0.3 This standard was lirst published in 1963. In this revision the
permissible strcsscs for members subjected to fluctuations ofsrrcss have been
aligned with IS : 102%1960*, thus, introducing rhc number of cycles
of operation for fatigue calculations. The limits of camber have PISO been
specified.
0.4 This standard is the first in the series of standards relating to crana
and covers the structural design. The other standards in the se&s covering
the mechukal and electrical portions are as followsz
IS : 3177-19G5 Code of practice for design of overhead travelling
cranes and gantry cranes other than steel work cranes
IS : 4137-1967 Code of practice for heavy duty electric ovcrhcad

shall be multiplied by the impact factor, values of which are given in
Table 2 for the various classes of cranes. The impact factor shall not apply
to the dead weight of the crane.

4.4.3 Horizontal Forces

4.4.3.1 Ovcrhmd frmelfing cmw -The girders of the crane sl~all have
suESent lateral strength and rigidity to enable them to withstand the
horizontal forces.

For the purpose of calculation, the horizontal forces shall be assumed

to be not less than:

4 1830v of the sum of the safe working load and the weight of the
crab, the force being assumed to act at the level of the top of the
traversing rails in the ccntm of the span when determining the
flange load and at appropriate points of the span when determin-
ing the lateral bracing loads; and
b) &of the weight of each girder, inclusive or any attachments
thereto, such as auxiliary girders or outriggers, platform and
mechanism, the force being assumed to act z.s a uniformly distri-
buted load throughout the length of the span.

In the fraction&, V shall be the rated longitudinal tratielling

speed in metros per minute, and the value of the fraction shall not in any
case be less than:
l/20 for ClaS 2 cranes,
l/15 for Class 3 cranes, and
l/10 for Class 4 cranes.

The stresses arising from these horizontal forces shall be considered in

combination with those due to other loads and wind pressure.
4.4.3.2 Cram other fhun ovcrhcad frautlling cranes,- The horizontal
eRects due to off-vertical lifting and natural sway of load in motion shall bc
determined by multiplying the rated lifted load by factors given in co1 4 of

back to the winding mechanism at the foot of the jib.
Such excavators may bc converted to jib cranc~ by removal of the
bucket and ifs haulage line, with or without alterations to the length of the
jib.

APPENDIX C
( Clause 8 1 )
EFFECTIVE LENGTHS OF CRANE JIBS, CONSIDERED AS
UNIFORM STRUTS
GO. In this appendix, crane jibs arc considered as uniform struts from the
point of view of buckling in clcvation and plan. The overall slenderness ratio
(I/r) of the jib in each plane can be obtained by dividing the eff&tive

39
l8tW.1976

kngth of the jib by the least radius of gyration of the complete jib section
occurring in the middle third ofthc actual length. It should bc wtcd that
thccfTective length and the rada of gyration taken must be those applicable
to that plant of the jib for which the slendcrncss ratio is required.
The middle third of the xtuhl Icng~h of the jib cxtcndr :dong the jib
for a distance of L/3 rncasurcd from a pomt which is L/3 from the jib head.
Cl. ROPE SUPPORTED JIBS
Cl.1 The following refers only to luffing crane jibs in which the jib head
is supported by the derricking rope, and the hoist rope runs over the jib
head pulley. The side elevations of typical arrangementj arc shown in
Fig. 14 to 16.

a) In I&on&n-Considering buckling in the luffing plane, it is clear

that both cads of the jib of a Ming crane are fixed in position
but free to rotate. For all positions of the jib the cfiectivc length
can thus be taken as equal to the actual Icngth (I =L ).
b) In Plan- The lower end of the jib can bc considered as
compictcly restrained in the slcwing plant by the jib pivots. The
jib head is supported by the dcrricking rope and the hoist rope
runs over the jib head pulley. The cffcctivc length of the jib in
pkn will thus depend upon :ix lateral restraint applied to the jib
head by these supporting ropes, and will vary with the angle of
tho jib and the. ternions in the two ropes.

 IS: 807 - 1976

a) In E/a&on - Considering buckling in the luffing plane, the jib is

not free to rotate about the jib pivot as movement of the lower end
is prevented by the luffing mechanism. The lower end of the jib
can thus be considered as encasfred up to the jib pivot. The hoist
rope provides the only restraint to deflection at the jib head.
b) In Plan - The lower end of the jib can be considered as completely
restrained in the slaving plane by the jib pivots. The hoist rope
again provides the only restraint to deflection at the jib head.
C-2.2 Both these cases are covered by the treatment which follows, the
dfcctive length ratio depending upon the tension in the hoist rope, its
position, and the angular e!evation of the jib.
C-2.2.1 Where the hoist rope runs parallel to the longitudinal axis of the
jib (w Fig. 17).
The ratio of the cfTective length to the real length in elevation and
