Straddle carrier design conditions define the maximum operating limits under which the machine must work safely and reliably. These conditions include rated load with dynamic factors, worst-case load positions, combined lifting and driving operations, uneven ground effects, wind loads, emergency braking, and fatigue life. Proper definition of design conditions ensures structural strength, stability, durability, and compliance with international standards such as EN 13001, ISO 8686, and FEM.
Straddle carrier design conditions define the most severe operating scenarios under which the machine must remain structurally safe, stable, and fully functional. These conditions are not limited to rated capacity, but include all combined loads, motions, and environmental effects that…
