  • Abstract

    The hoist with trolley system is an integral part of A jib crane is a cantilevered instrument to typically secures to a column. The design and analysis of a unique floor-mounted the I-beam jib crane is the main topic of this research. As the boom revolves, the trolley follows it, allowing for effective load management within a circle. The design process will account for the crane's weight and the loads it will lift to ensure stability and efficiency. This study aims to identify stress points in the crane's structure and propose reinforcement strategies to mitigate these induced stresses. An innovative comprehensive stress and load analysis will be conducted using analytical and software-based approaches. Reinforcing critical stress areas will enhance the crane's strength, durability, and operational safety. The goal is to develop a robust crane design capable of reliably handling specified loads, thereby improving efficiency and safety in industrial applications.
