braking: a method of controlling speed in which the electrical energy generated by the motor is fed back into the power system.
rope: refers to wire-rope unless otherwise specified.
running sheave: a sheave that rotates as a load carriage is lifted or lowered.
runway: an assembly of rails, beams, girders, brackets, and framework on which the crane travels.
runway conductor (main): the electrical conductors located along the equipment runway to provide power or control to the equipment.
service brake: a brake for travel motion used by the operator during normal operation to apply a retarding force.
service braking: a method of decelerating motion during normal operation.
severe service: service that involves normal or heavy service with abnormal operating conditions.
shall: a word indicating a requirement.
shoidd: a word indicating a recommendation.
slave pallet or slave container: a handling base or container that is normally captive to a system on which a unit load is supported.
span: the horizontal distance, center-to-center, between runway rails.
spring return controller: a controller that, when released, will return automatically to a neutral (off) position.
slop: a device to limit travel. This device normally is attached to a fixed structure and normally does not have energy absorbing ability.
trolley: the unit that travels on or is suspended from the bridge girders and supports the mast and carriage.
trolley travel: the trolley movement in directions at right angles to the crane runway.
truck: the unit, consisting of a frame, wheels, bearings, and axles, that supports the bridge girders, the end ties of an overhead stacker crane, or the sill of a gantry stacker crane.
unattended: a condition in which the operator is not at the operating control devices. On floor-controlled equipment, if the control devices are within an unobstructed distance of 26 ft (8 m), and within sight of the operator, the equipment is considered attended.
