J. Wijbenga Het slingeren van de last tijdens katrijden in een overslagkraan voor containers
Masters thesis, Report TT.0878, Transport Engineering and Logistics.


Handling of containers with special container cranes often results in unvoluntary movements of the load, which in turn have negative effect on productivity because of difficult positioning of the container.
This report covers the research done to reveal and control the factors that cause these movements in trolley travel direction in a container crane with cable pulled trolley.Several tests have been done to verify theoretical results.
Special attention has been paid to the pulling cable forces in relation to cable sag and the influence of a cable tensioning device.
