Design Process of Lifting Crane Capacity of 300 Kilogram at PT. Pelabuhan Indonesia

Abstract

Indonesia has long coastal line surrounding the country, so it becomes a maritime country. Due to this situation, the country was endowed to numerous trading via sea by utilizing numerous harbors. In harbors, there were several activities specifically about heavy equipment lifting and loading. To uplift the heavy equipment, it is necessary to develop such tools which capable to result the lifting force. Lifting crane which extensively used for heavy equipment lifting is designed to tackle that problem. The design process of lifting crane involves several efforts of planning, design process, and numerical simulation. The planning step used initial and conceptual criteria based on references. Afterwards, the design process was developed by using computer aided design of Solidworks. The numerical simulation was carried out by using ANSYS R2 2020. The design process of lifting crane has successfully done which present a comprehensive framework to model the lifting crane of capacity 300 kilograms. The resulted design of lifting crane also meets with the safety requirement for heavy equipment lifting and loading. Therefore, the result of this research would facilitate PT. Pelabuhan Indonesia to improve the lifting crane tool with high safety and robust loading capacity.
