A girder is a support beam used

in construction. Girders often have a IBeam cross section for strength, but
may also have a box shape, Z shape
and other forms. Girder is the term
used to denote the main horizontal
support of a structure which supports
smaller beams.
In traditional timber framing a girder is
called a girt.

Crane Block is the assembly of hook, swivel, bearing, sheaves, pins and
frame suspended by the hoisting ropes.

A lifting hook is a device for

grabbing and lifting loads by
means of a device such as
a hoist or crane. A lifting hook
is usually equipped with a
safety latch to prevent the
disengagement of the lifting
wire rope sling, chain or rope to
which the load is attached.

Rope Drum is the cylindrical member around which the ropes are wound
for raising/lowering the load.

A sheave is a wheel or roller with a groove along its edge for holding a belt,
rope or cable. When hung between two supports and equipped with a belt,
rope or cable, one or more sheaves make up a pulley. The
words sheave and pulley are sometimes used interchangeably.

Equalizing Sheave is a device which

compensates for unequal length or
stretch of a hoist rope.

Wheels of EOT is used to move either the

girder/ bridge(LT) or the trolley(CT) as per
requirement.

A bearing is a machine element that

constrains relative motion and reduces
friction between moving parts to only the
desired motion. The design of the bearing
may, for example, provide for
free linear movement of the moving part or
for free rotation about fixed axis; or, it
may prevent a motion by controlling
the vectors of normal forces that bear on
the moving parts. Many bearings
also facilitate the desired motion as much
as possible, such as by minimizing friction.
Bearings are classified broadly according
to the type of operation, the motions
allowed, or to the directions of the loads
(forces) applied to the parts.

A squirrel-cage rotor is the rotating part (rotor)

used in the most common form of AC induction
motor. It consists of a cylinder of steel with
aluminum or copper conductors embedded in
its surface. An electric motor with a squirrelcage rotor is termed a squirrel-cage motor.
600-700% of full load current is required as
starting torque.
A slip ring is an electromechanical device that
allows the transmission of power and electrical
signals from a stationary to a rotating structure.
A slip ring can be used in any
electromechanical system that requires
unrestrained, intermittent or continuous rotation
while transmitting power and / or data. It can
improve mechanical performance, simplify
system operation and eliminate damage-prone
wires dangling from movable joints.
200-250% of full load current is required as
starting torque

Brakes are used to halt the motion of EOTs.

Buffers are energy absorbing devices used for reducing the impact when a
moving crane or trolley reaches the end of its permitted travel or when two
moving cranes or trolleys come into contact. The device may be attached to the
bridge, trolley or runway stop.
