Trolley Hoist Beam Attachment

[Tippit]

I'm to connect a trolley hoist beam rail to the underside of a new hollow core concrete roof panel. I have the opportunity to precast embedded connectors. I'm looking for a standard detail, if there is one, or a code reference for this type of installation. The rail is a 5 inch deep wide flange beam. Load limit for hoist is one ton.

Tippit:
Regardless of whether the crane rail runs parallel or perpendicular to the hollow core plank you have to show the loading and location on your plans so they are aware of it. They will probably have some std. inserts that fit the bill. Also, talk this over with the crane suppliers, they will likely have some stds. as to insert detail and products, spacing vs. rail deflection, etc. Then, coordinate the shop drawings.
