Crane Tipping Load Calculator

This calculator helps determine the maximum load a crane can handle at a given distance from the pivot point to avoid tipping.

Calculation Formula

Maximum Tipping Load (kg) = Moment (Nm) / Distance (m)

Where:
Moment (Nm) = Load Weight (kg) * Distance from Pivot (m)
Distance (m) = Distance from Pivot (m)

Crane Tipping Load Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Crane Tipping Load Calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the load weight in kilograms (kg) in the "Load Weight" field.
  2. Enter the distance from the pivot point in meters (m) in the "Distance from Pivot" field.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to determine the maximum tipping load.
  4. The result will be displayed in the "Maximum Tipping Load" field.

Working Principle

The calculator uses the principle of moments to determine the maximum load a crane can handle at a given distance from the pivot point. The moment is calculated by multiplying the load weight by the distance from the pivot. The maximum tipping load is then calculated by dividing the moment by the distance from the pivot.

Important Notes

  • Ensure that the load weight and distance are accurately measured.
  • The calculator assumes a ideal scenario and does not account for other factors such as wind, uneven ground, or dynamic loads.
  • Always consult with a professional engineer or crane operator for safe and accurate crane operation.
