Construction - 3D Design of Crane Gantry

Scope

D3 were tasked by our client to provide a suitable design of a crane gantry/frame structure to accomodate an existing overhead crane/hoist.

The framework was to be installed in a large workshop and fixed to a concrete substructure. The 3D design and drawings were done within PTC Creo.

Solution

Assessment of the scope was followed by an internal brainstorm and initial conceptual modelling. This was then followed by a full 3D model of the new framework and drawing pack. Assembly process was agreed with our client to be bolted joints to allow for ease of assembly.
