 The end carriage housing accounts for

the horizontal movement of the crane.

 The ends of the girder are attached to the
end carriage.
 The end carriage is capable of moving to
and fro over a square rail.
 It has wheels attached at its ends.
 Manual type
 Motorized carriage
 Double girder
 Urethane wheel type
The general notation for a end carriage is:
TYPE RATED LOAD - SPAN
EL 010-9
 EL stands for motorized low head end carriage
 010 stands for load of 1 ton
 9 stands for a span of carriage
 EO: Motorized overhead
 EL: Motorized low head
 CEO: Urethane wheel motorized overhead
 CEL: Urethane wheel motorized low head
 WEO: Motorized overhead double girder
 CWEO: Urethane wheel Motorized
overhead double girder
 GO: Geared type manual overhead
 G1MO O 25 – 6 L – S
 G1MO - Type of geared motor
 O25 – 6 – Type of end carriage
 L – Speed
 S – Power source
 L – Low speed (10 – 12 m/min)
 S – Standard speed(20 – 24 m/min)
 SD – Dual speed (20-5/24-6 m/min)
 H – High speed (30-36 m/min)
 H – 220V 60Hz
 S – 220/380 V 50Hz
 M – 220/440 230/460 60Hz
 X 380 – 415 V 50Hz
Analyze for :
 Overhead end carriage made of mild

steel having Youngs Modulas E = 2e11

N/m2 and Poisson ratio of 0.3
 Consider a point load of 2.5 to 3 ton at

the centre.
 Check for optimal deflection

 Stress distribution along the length of the

carriage.
 One dimensional analysis
 Element type: beam type structural mass
with 3-nodes
 The beam is considered to be elastic and
isotropic.
 It is a fully supported beam
 The load acts in the centre of the beam.
