An end carriage is the bridge-travel assembly installed at each end of an overhead-crane bridge. It transfers bridge and lifted-load forces to the runway through the crane wheels and provides longitudinal travel using the selected drive arrangement. Wheel load, wheelbase, rail type, drive layout and alignment are key engineering inputs.
ACG end carriages are engineered for crane bridge travel, combining the structural frame, wheels, drive system and rail interface required for stable longitudinal motion.
Final dimensions, component selection and operating parameters are defined from project data, duty requirements, site conditions and the agreed engineering scope.
| Crane load | Used with bridge self-weight and dynamic effects |
|---|---|
| Wheel load | Calculated for the selected crane arrangement |
| Wheel type | Selected for rail and guidance requirements |
| Wheelbase | Defined by stability and load distribution |
| Drive arrangement | Selected for crane travel performance |
| Rail interface | Coordinated with runway rail geometry |
