Foreword
This standard contains amendments to the hydraulic hoist content of SL 41-1993
Hydraulic and Hydropower Project Specification for Design of Gate Hoist according

to Notice
1997, andontheProject of Establishment
amendment and Amendment
format complies of Power
with requirements Industry
of Basic Standardfor 
Regulation in
Compilation of Power Industry Standard (DL/T 600-2001).
This standard fully reflects new experiences on design, manufacture, installation
and operation of large and medium gate hoist of hydropower and water resource
 projects over the last decade, on basis of comprehensive survey, conclusion and
research. Amendment and implementation of this standard may establish a new and
uniform design standard for the industry and further improve industrial design level.
Opinions were asked on the amendment content of this standard from relevant units in
written form in October 1998. Standard amendment working conference was held in
Zhengzhou city, Henan Province, in November 1999, and principle, method and task 
were determined on the conference. The first exposure draft of Design Specifications
for Gate Hoist in Hydropower and Water Resources Projects was issued in April, 2000,
and was discussed and amended on Changzhou Conference. Then it was issued again
in May, 2000, for more than 50 design institute, factory, college and research institute
of hydropower and water resource system, to give their opinions. In April, 2001, first
draft for approval was worked out, forming formal draft for approval after discussion
and supplement made on Chengdu conference. Examination of the draft standard for 
examination was carried out on Hangzhou conference in December, 2001, forming
draft standard for approval after amendment.
Revision involves 18 articles of the hydraulic gate hoist part of original standard,
and 2 articles of the 18 are cancelled, 4 articles are added, and 14 articles are
supplemented. After revision, hydraulic gate hoist part totally contains 20 articles and
36 clauses, and over 90% of original articles are revised. Also, revisions are made to
relevant articles of hydraulic gate hoist part, or to relevant original parts that are
obviously out of date, these revisions involve 12 articles.
The revision practically summarizes and absorbs experiences on fast
development of hydraulic gate hoist over last decade in China, so as to enrich content
of the standard. For instance, it is summarized that malfunctions happened in
operation of hydraulic gate hoist are caused by contamination of hydraulic oil. So
measures to prevent hydraulic oil from pollution are put forth and series new
requirements of cleanness of hydraulic oil, oil filtration, cleaning of oil pipe, as well
as material of oil pipe and oil tank are definitely prescribed. And it is prescribed that
crest spillway radial gate double drum hydraulic hoist shall adopt relevant
synchronous measures according to concrete conditions. In order to strengthen
systematicness and integrality of articles, merges and adjustment are made among
articles involving the same content but being dispersed in different articles, such as
content of oil tube is concentrated in clause 8.4.7.
Appendixes attached thereto are informative appendixes.
This standard is proposed by and under the jurisdiction of Power Industry

Rigidity can be divided into static rigidity and dynamic rigidity. Static rigidity is

hoist, dynamic rigidity of vibration system is only verified when there are relevant
requirements.
Static rigidity requirements of bridge-type, platform-type and gantry hoist are as
follows:
When rated load is added at midspan or at worst position (at lifting-start position for 
 platform-type and single-direction gantry hoist), due to vertical static deflection y
L
caused by rated hoisting load and weight of trolley at midspan, the following
requirements shall be satisfied:

When working class is Q 3 and Q4, yL≤ L/800 (9.6-2)
Where,
L refers to span of gate hoist.
For gantry hoist with cantilever, when trolley with full load is at effective working
 position of cantilever, vertical static deflection at this position:
yL≤ Lc/350 (9.6-3)
Where,
Lc refers to effective working length of cantilever.
Generally, horizontal midspan displacement value of bridge-type and platform-type
gate hoist is recommended to be controlled at:
ys≤ L/2000 (9.6-4)

recommended to be less than 1.5H‰ under the worst load combination. Where H
refers to height from track level (upper flange of main girder for single-direction hoist)
of big trolley to track level of small trolley.
When small trolley gantry and mechanical equipment are installed directly on

7/22/2019 Design Specification of Hoist for Water Resources and Hydropower Engineering

 platform trolley bracket and gantry of single-direction hoist shall be appropriately


strengthened. When the maximum vertical static deflection is used as component of 
freely supported beam, it is recommended to be controlled to be:
ye≤ L/2000 (9.6-5)

different sectional structure, gantry structure can be designed into box section, plate
girder and lattice section type (truss and strut).
Generally, connection between gantry leg and main girder shall be of rigid connection,
namely rigid leg.
9.7.2 Calculation principle of internal gantry force

structure shall be adopted for calculation of internal force of main girder, and
calculation figure of once hyperstatic structure shall be adopted for calculation of 
internal force of leg.
