Synergy Engineering B.V. recently undertook a challenging project to design a 3500-ton spreader bar. This task was not just about handling an immense load capacity but also about creating a versatile, modular solution adaptable to various future projects. The project was a blend of technical ingenuity and practical foresight.
Design Objectives and Challenges: The primary objective was to design the spreader bar for maximum crane capacity, ensuring it could handle the heaviest lifts possible. A crucial aspect of the design was its modularity, allowing for adaptability in a range of future projects. Additionally, the design had to accommodate specific requirements for minimum and maximum top and bottom rigging angles, presenting a unique set of engineering challenges.
Technical Focus in Design: A key consideration in the design was limiting bending moments, as they critically impact the buckling capacity and complicate bolted connections. This required precise calculations and innovative engineering strategies. Equally important was the design of the spreader bar heads, determining the types of rigging that could be employed and, by extension, the versatility of the spreader bar itself.
Successful Application and Future Prospects: Since its inception, the 3500-ton spreader bar has been successfully deployed in increasingly significant projects, proving its effectiveness and reliability. Its modular design has demonstrated remarkable flexibility, adapting seamlessly to various lifting requirements. At Synergy Engineering B.V., we’re proud of this accomplishment and are ready to leverage our expertise to design similar solutions for future clients.
