METHOD OF CONTROLLING HANDLING FACILITY RUNNING WHEELS POSITION Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC B66C9/16 G01B5/25 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to handling equipment and serves to control position of running wheels of travelling and gantry cranes. Proposed method comprises determining basic measurement points on crane travel section. Then, deviation of each adjacent wheels in horizontal plane at the rail head height level is measured by measuring the distance from base point to beam. Now, actual departure of wheels from design value by adequate formulas for every wheel pair. In case crane base values is insufficient for required accuracy of measurement, position of wheels with respect to basic points of crane travel with length varying from ten to twenty meters marked over the span is measured. Finally, actual departure of each wheel from design values is determined by appropriate formula.

EFFECT: higher accuracy of measurement in horizontal plane.
