    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Classification of mechanisms for all types of cranes based on severity of intended use, loads and load combinations, calculation of stresses, stresses in components and the selection and verification of proprietary items. Appendices give classifications normally associated with different types of cranes, assessment of torque and determination of fatigue reference stresses.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This Part of BS 2573 provides the basis for calculating stresses in components of crane mechanisms and specifies the way in which permissible stresses shall be determined. It also gives rules for the selection of proprietary items where these are used as mechanism components.
