  2. Working load limit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_breaking_strength

    Safe Working Load (SWL) sometimes stated as the Normal Working Load (NWL) is the maximum safe force that a piece of lifting equipment, lifting device or accessory can exert to lift, suspend, or lower, a given mass without fear of breaking. It is usually marked on the equipment by the manufacturer.

  3. Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifting_Operations_and...

    A safe working load (SWL) should, according to the regulations be marked onto lifting equipment with the relevant SWL being dependent on the configuration of the equipment, accessories for lifting such as eye bolts, lifting magnets and lifting beams should also be marked. [5]

  4. Design load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_load

    A crane's rated load is its Safe Working Load (SWL) and the design load (DL) is, (p 90) [1] = The dynamic lift factor for offshore cranes in the range 10 kN < SWL ≤ 2500 kN is not less than =.(p 84) [1] Thus for a crane with a SWL of 2000 kN (~200 tonne) its design load is not less than, = = The minimum breaking load (MBL) for the combined capacity of reeves of a steel wire hoisting rope ...

  5. Lifting equipment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifting_equipment

    Lifting equipment, also known as lifting gear, is a general term for any equipment that can be used to lift and lower loads. [1] Types of lifting equipment include heavy machinery such as the patient lift , overhead cranes , forklifts , jacks , building cradles, and passenger lifts, and can also include smaller accessories such as chains ...

  6. Safe Load Indicator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_Load_Indicator

    A safe load indicator has the capability of detecting the angle, weight of load lifted, and ground radius of any lifting device. It controls the lifting equipment to the level that it tries to keep the machinery functioning as per the manufacturer's suggested safety charts.

  7. Simulation software - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation_software

    Electronics simulation software utilizes mathematical models to replicate the behaviour of an actual electronic device or circuit. Essentially, it is a computer program that converts a computer into a fully functioning electronics laboratory.

  8. Level luffing crane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_luffing_crane

    A 3d animated model of a level-luffing crane. A level-luffing crane is a crane mechanism where the hook remains at the same level while luffing: moving the jib up and down, so as to move the hook inwards and outwards relative to the base.

  9. Vortex lattice method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex_lattice_method

    The vortex lattice method is built on the theory of ideal flow, also known as Potential flow.Ideal flow is a simplification of the real flow experienced in nature, however for many engineering applications this simplified representation has all of the properties that are important from the engineering point of view.
