Structural Conceptual Analysis

G.L.Tiley & Associates Ltd. Structural Engineering department has extensive expertise in the analysis and design of hoist structural components. Methods include:

Sheave Wheel Analysis
Our structural department test and evaluate sheave wheels in the following ways

  • •Bicycle type and solid plate spoke sheaves are modeled with finite element analysis software
  • •High stress locations are identified for fatigue analysis
  • •Sheaves are certified to working and rope breaking loads

Hoist Drum Analysis
We can model hoist drums with finite element analysis software.
Any high stress locations are identified for fatigue analysis.
Hoists are certified to working and rope breaking loads.
