scope:

Revised in 2005, this edition of Specification for Electric Overhead Traveling Cranes for Steel Mill Service lists four distinct service classes of cranes. This gives the purchaser a method to match the duty cycle of the application without over-designing the crane and increasing its manufacturing costs. It is a comprehensive and rational approach to the design and construction of steel mill cranes and other cranes having related or similar usage. The specifications are divided into four main sections: general, structural, mechanical and electrical, with their relative commentaries and appendices. Revisions have been made in each section
