Glossary of Crane Terminology - Page 1 of 11 Abnormal Operating Conditions: Environmental conditions that are unfavorable, harmful or detrimental to or for the operation of a hoist, such as excessively high (over 100 F.) or low (below 0 F.) ambient temperatures, corrosive fumes, dust laden or moisture laden atmospheres, and hazardous locations. Adjustable or Variable Voltage: A method of control by which the motor supply voltage can be adjusted. Automatic Crane: A crane which when activated operates through a preset cycle or cycles. Auxiliary Hoist: A supplemental hoisting unit, usually designed to handle lighter loads at a higher speed than the main hoist. Auxiliary Girder (Outrigger): A girder arranged parallel to the main girder for supporting the platform, motor base, operators cab, control panels, etc., to reduce the torsional forces such load would otherwise impose on the main girder. Bearing Life Expectancy: The L-10 life of an anti-friction bearing is the minimum expected life, hours, of 90 percent of a group of bearings, which are operating at a given speed and loading. The average expected life of the bearings is approximately five times the L-10 life. BHN: Brinell hardness number, measurement of material hardness. Box Section: The rectangular cross section of girders, trucks or other members enclosed on four sides. Brake: A device, other than a motor, used for retarding or stopping motion by friction or power means. Branch Circuit: The circuit conductors between the final overcurrent device protecting the circuit and the outlet(s).
