Case Studies in Machine Design
Published in Ansel C. Ugural, Mechanical Engineering Design, 2022
Modern cranes, which commonly include an electric winch, use internal combustion engines or electric motors with hydraulic systems in order to provide a much greater lifting capability than was previously possible. Cranes exist in various forms, each tailored to a specific use. The following photographs represent some examples of modern cranes. Sizes range from a small overhead crane, used in workshops, to a huge tower crane, used for constructing tall structures. Minicranes are also employed to facilitate construction of high buildings by reaching tight spaces. Larger floating cranes are often used to build oil rigs and salvage sunken ships. They contain a stationary frame with an I-beam that is suspended from a trolley, which is designed for easy moving in a straight or curvilinear direction.

Floating crane plays an important role in offshore oil and gas field development, offshore wind power installation and other large-scale maritime projects (Ren et al. 2021; Lee et al. 2021). At present, maritime engineering projects tend to be large scale (Zhang, Wang, and He 2009). For example, the rapid increase in the demand for offshore renewable energy has promoted the vigorous promotion of offshore wind power projects, which has led to an increasing trend in the size and weight of offshore structures (Crowle 2022). Therefore, the demand for the lifting capacity of the floating crane and the size and weight of the floating crane structure itself are also increasing, which increases the difficulty of the manufacturing process.
