Design the gantry leg or column: The gantry leg or column must be designed to support the bridge beam and the load capacity of the crane.
Choose the hoist system: The hoist system can be either an electric hoist or a manual hoist, depending on the load capacity and the application requirements.
Consider safety features: Safety features such as limit switches, overload protection, and emergency stop buttons should be included in the design.
Check local codes and regulations: It is important to check local codes and regulations to ensure compliance with safety standards and other requirements.
Get the design approved by a qualified engineer: The design should be reviewed and approved by a qualified engineer to ensure that it meets all safety and design standards.
