Maximum Static Wheel Reaction Force is expressed in N. No universal acceptance threshold is defined by this calculator.

Worked Example

Verified calculation

Given:

  • Total Lift Load Including Hoist and Load = 98100
  • Bridge Girder Self-Weight = 24525
  • Number of Wheels per End Truck = 2
  • Horizontal Distance from Left Support to Load Center = 12
  • Bridge Girder Span Length = 24

Expected Result:

  • Maximum Static Wheel Reaction Force = 45984.375

Engineering Interpretation:

Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: Maximum Static Wheel Reaction Force = 45984.375 N.

The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from deterministically validated test cases.

Formula / Method

maximum static wheel reaction force = (total lift load including hoist and load + bridge girder self-weight) * (1.0 / number of wheels per end truck) * (1.0 + (horizontal distance from left support to load center / bridge girder span length)) * 0.5
