Barge Mounted Crane
Barge Mounted Crane
(OP)
Dear All,
I have a bidder's document to be reviewed regarding the subject. They offer a barged mounted crane with the following specification :
Barge Dimension = 150' x 50' x 10', draft=4.5' completed with ballast system
Crane = Crawler Manitowoc 4100 (Serial 41383) with LaticeBoom 200T capacity (Boom Length = 150ft and 180ft)
According to its load chart, the crane barge is able to lift safely 42 Tons of load at 45' working radius (150 ft boom length and 76.8 deg angle)with crawler extended.
Looking to the layout of crane barge, actualy the crane is not located at the center of barge. In fact, it is located 1.6 meters from barge center line.
What I need from you guys, if you ever have experience using such as barge mounted crane, please share to answer my question.... is it possible to lift 42T of load at 45’ working radius with that specification and layout..?
Looking forward for your response

RE: Barge Mounted Crane
I would downrate the crane to a factor of x0.6, before you do any analysis.
Hope this is of help.
RE: Barge Mounted Crane
The crane should be attached to the barge to avoid any movement during transportation and operation. Just be carefull. If you can't make it, I will need more details to be able to help in depth.
