Abstract

In this study the structural design of conveyor frame was carried out for the high efficiency gantry carne which can improve the productivity of the container transportation work by reducing cycle time. When the gantry crane was operated, the conveyor frame was deflected largely by ist deadload and the total weight of containers placed on it. Therefore thicknesses of conveyor frame to minimize its deadload were designed by the size optimization using ANSYS program as the bending stress and the deflection of frame due to this simulation satisfied their required values.
