Force Analysis of Luffing Mechanism of Lemniscate Type Crane with Boom Driving

Abstract:

The lemniscate type crane is fabricated by Kenz-Figee B.V. of the Netherlands. There are great differences in outward appearance, geometric shape, luffing performance between lemniscate type crane and ordinary double-link type crane. Lemniscate type crane has some advantages, i.e. lower centre of weight, practical and reasonable structure, strongly anti-wind and easy operation. Based on inverse design and principle of mechanics, force analysis and luffing moment of luffing mechanism of lemniscate type crane is researched and solved.
