What the Calculator Actually Works Out
There are three numbers every civil, and mechanical engineer needs a single girder EOT crane before they can size the runway beam and column accurately.Maximum Wheel Load (kN)
Total Vertical Load on Gantry (kN)
Recommended Gantry Section
The Formula Behind It
The wheel load formula follows standards IS 807 and IS 3177
Max Wheel Load = [(SWL + Hoist Weight) × Impact Factor + Dead Weight of Bridge / 2] ÷ Number of Wheels per Rail
Single Girder Span and Capacity Quick Reference
| SWL (Tons) | Practical Max Span | Typical Girder Type | Approx. Bridge Dead Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | Up to 12 m | Rolled I-beam | 8–14 kg/m |
| 5 | Up to 18 m | Fabricated box | 25–38 kg/m |
| 7.5–10 | Up to 22 m | Box girder | 45–65 kg/m |
| 12–15 | Up to 25 m | Reinforced box | 70–105 kg/m |
