Vertical load on gantry
The weight of the crane is shared by two portal frames.At the crab,
the reaction on wheel due to the lifted weight and the crab can be
obtained by taking moment about the centre line of the wheels.(point
B)
The extreme position of crane hook is assumed as 1m from the
centre line of rail. The span of crane is approximately taken
as15.382m. And the wheel base along the gantry girder has been
taken as 3.8 m.

Dead Load
Replacing the distributed dead load on rafter by equivalent 1.7877 kN
concentrated loads at two intermediate points corresponding to
purlin locations on each rafter

Live Load
Replacing the distributed live load on rafter by equivalent 2.324 kN
concentrated loads at two intermediate points corresponding to
purlin locations on each rafter
Udl x span / 6
Crane Load
Maximum Vertical load on columns 63 kN
(acting at minimum eccentricity of 600 mm from column centreline)
Maximum Moment on column 38 kNm
Minimum Vertical load on column 22.4 kNm
Minimum moment on columns 13 kNm
(acting at minimum eccentricty of 600 mm from column centerline)
To find the total moment @ B and @ F we have to consider the
moment due to the dead load from weight of the rail and gantry
girder.
Let us assume weight of rail 0.30 kN/m
Let us assume weight of gantry girder 2.00 kN/m
Total dead load on the column 5.75 kN
Moment at B and F 3.45 kNm
Total moment @ B 41 kNm
