Floating Crane Stability using the pendulum approach
Would you like to learn more about the stability of cranes on barges in less than 15 minutes? Take a look at this video!
In this online video, Eager.one’s senior engineer André van der Steen will present an introduction about floating crane stability. It will show you a quick-scan technique that can be used to determine the stability of a crane on a barge. This technique will be explained using the classical principle of “The Pendulum”.
Enjoy watching the video!
DISCLAIMER: Crane Ratings
A short disclaimer before you start working with the quick scan technique, presented in the video above. We would like to emphasize that, for a safe lifting situation, you always need ratings. Nonetheless, this technique is very useful as quick scan for possibilities of crane/barge combinations that are available and could possibly do the job. But before you start executing the job, you must always make the ratings for the specific crane/barge combination.
In case you have any questions about floating crane stability, crane ratings and how to calculate them, please do not hesitate to contact us.
