Assessing the need for rope replacement in crane lifting equipment after change of crane operational parameters

This article describes a specific analysis and evaluation process of a foundry crane installed in a steel mill. The main task was to analyse the possibility of increasing the lifting speed of the crane in order to improve the efficiency of the production process. The condition of the steel supporting structure of the given foundry crane was assessed by means of the performed experimental measurements and calculations. The present article describes the special experimental/analytical methodology for the evaluation of the crane steel construction and lifting and travelling mechanisms. Furthermore, the required modifications of the individual crane construction parts are explained.
