Full length walkway platforms are provided along the LT drive side girders for heavy and extra heavy duty cranes. Platform/ Walkways are provided on all other cranes as per customer’s specifications. Power is supplied to trolley through flexible festoon cable system. For lower capacity and light duty cranes, compact festoon cable system or drag chain system is used for trolley power supply. For higher capacity/ heavy duty cranes beam rider trolleys moving on heavy duty I beams supply power to machinery installed on the trolley. The girders are supported at ends by rigid end carriages that house long travel wheels. The arrangement of end carriage is decided by application as well as number of long travel wheels that support the load. Crane capacity, runway rail size, duty classification of crane, LT speed are some of the factors that affect the sizing of LT wheels. Depending on design requirement cranes with 4, 8, 12, 16 and longer travel wheels are provided for crane LT drive. The drive unit comprises of motor, gearbox and brake unit. Hollow output shaft gearbox that is installed directly on wheel axle is provided for light and medium duty crane.
