Telescopic Hydraulic Gantry
Systems is the first comprehensive handbook that
addresses the use of hydraulic gantries. Based on decades of
experience using gantry systems in a wide variety of
industrial and construction environments, this book provides
an in-depth discussion of the engineering principles that
underlie the performance of hydraulic gantry systems.
Topics covered include an
explanation of the loads that may act on a gantry system
during a lift, stability of the individual gantry legs as well
as the system as a whole, the hydraulic system, lift planning
and engineering, and risk management. Applicable industry
standards and guides from the U.S., the U.K., and Canada are
also discussed.
Telescopic Hydraulic Gantry
Systems has been adoped by Industrial Training
International as one of the texts in its Fundamentals
of Rigging Engineering program.
