Mobile Crane Support
Handbook is a comprehensive reference that is focused
exclusively on the design and engineering of supports for
mobile crane installations. Now in its second edition, the
book addresses the full range of subjects needed for the
engineering of mobile crane support in construction job site
situations.
Topics covered include
calculation of the support reactions from crawler and
outrigger-supported cranes, guidelines for the determination
of the bearing capacity of the soil, analysis of subsurface
structures, the strength and stiffness of timber crane mats,
the use of crane mats of other materials such as fabricated
steel and synthetics, practical mat design methods, and U.S.
industry standards and regulations (29 CFR Subpart C-C and
ASME B30.5).
In addition to its popularity
among lift specialist engineers throughout the United States,
the Mobile Crane Support Handbook has also been
adoped by Industrial Training International as one of the
texts in its Fundamentals
of Rigging Engineering program.
