| Proper
Crane Selection in G-Force Applications:
One of the
most critical elements of a successful G-Force application
is picking the right crane for the application. Due to the speed
and ease of movement of the G-Force in the vertical direction,
any resistance moving laterally is very noticeable. Generally
speaking, LESS IS MORE. Aluminum bridges, 15 and under are
your best bet. Longer bridges and any jib requiring rotation on
the inner portion of the jib is not recommended in high cycle
applications.
- Crane type
(bridge vs. jib)
- Size (bridge/boom
length, capacity)
- Impact
factor at 275 fpm, youll want to make sure the
G-Force is hanging from a stable crane contact
us for proper sizing to eliminate unwanted bounce and oscillation
