Shepard Niles Crane Hoist Net Weight
Shepard Niles Crane Hoist Net Weight
(OP)
I have a Shepard Niles 10 Ton Crane Hoist at a government plant and need to have an estimated weight of the hoist for an impact analysis. The manufacturer says it does not have the weight recorded. Any ideas where I can get net weight of a 10 Ton Crane Hoist (estimated, since I cannot find data for my specific one)?

For rough estimates of bridge cranes, the Whiting Crane Handbook gives some estimates of weights for the various components. It's out of print but they are around with a little searching.
From my experience Shepard Niles usually had pretty good records on their cranes. I have gotten info on ones that our shipyard has from back in the 1940s.
