About this file
This document is a detailed technical specification (Section 41 22 13.15) for a bridge crane system to be installed at the Naval Air Station Patuxent River in Maryland. The specification outlines comprehensive requirements for an under running, overhead electric traveling crane with a 15,000-pound rated capacity, designed for operation in a hazardous (Class I, Division II, Group D) environment.
The specification provides extensive technical details covering structural, mechanical, and electrical requirements, including specifications for components such as girders, end trucks, wheels, wire ropes, brakes, motors, control systems, and electrical components. Key requirements include using non-sparking materials, specific paint systems, precise alignment and testing protocols, and compliance with multiple industry standards (CMAA, ASME, NEMA). The document mandates rigorous testing procedures, including no-load, rated load, and overload tests, as well as requirements for manufacturer's field service, operation and maintenance manuals, and staff training. The crane must be pendant-controlled, operate on 480-volt AC power, and include extensive safety features for hazardous environments.

1.2 DEFINITIONS
a. Bridge Crane: That part of an overhead crane system consisting of a girder, end trucks, walkway, and drive mechanism which carries the trolley(s) and travels along the runway rails parallel to the runway.
b. Crane Runway: The track system along which the crane operates horizontally, including track hangar rods, track connection devices, and runway structural supports.
c. Dead Loads: The loads on a structure which remain in a fixed position relative to the structure.
d. Girder: The principal horizontal beam of the crane bridge. It is supported by the crane end trucks. Normally the crane trolley mounted hoist is suspended from the girder below the crane.
e. Lifted Load: The load consisting of the rated load and the weight of lifting devices attached to the crane such as the load block, bucket, or other supplemental devices.
f. Pendant: A control for a hoist and a crane. The pendant hangs from the hoist or the crane by a cable at a height that is easy for the operator to reach.
g. Patented Track: A generic term referring to track built in accordance with MHI MH27.1 utilizing a composite track section incorporating a proprietary bottom flange shape. For this crane system, it is provided for the crane bridge girder and also the crane runway track, if under running.
h. Rated Load: The maximum working load suspended under the load hook.
i. Standard Commercial Cataloged Product: A product which is currently being sold, or previously has been sold, in substantial quantities to the general public, industry or Government in the course of normal business operations. Models, samples, prototypes or experimental units do not meet this definition. The term "cataloged" as specified in this section is defined as "appearing on the manufacturer's published product data sheets. These data sheets must have been published or copyrighted prior to the issue date of this solicitation and have a document identification number or bulletin number.
j. Trolley Load: The weight of the trolley and its associated equipment carried by the trolley wheels.
k. Under running (Underhung) Crane: An electric overhead traveling crane that is supported by crane end trucks suspended below the crane runway. The load is supported by hanging from the lower flange of a beam or patented track.
l. Top Running Crane: An overhead electric traveling crane that is supported by end trucks which run on top of supporting rails.
m. Operating Environments:
SECTION 41 22 13.15 Page 4
(1) General Purpose Service: This applies to most cranes and are, in large measure, the manufacturers' standard designs. Cranes should be classified as General Purpose Service if they are operating in routine environments.
(2) Ordnance/Explosives Handling: Cranes handling palletized or unpackaged ammunition, missiles, torpedoes, and other types of ordnance. Minimum requirement of CMAA service class D ( PPI #222, #259, #391, & #498) .
(3) Hazardous (Explosive) Environments: Cranes operating in hazardous environments as defined by the cognizant activity safety office must be equipped with electrical safety features that meet NEC Article 500. The activity safety office must identify the specific Class, Division, and Group, as well as the envelope that the hazard exists, to allow proper design and must list these in this section. Materials for mechanical components must be chosen to minimize the potential for sparking, typically bronze, stainless steel, or aluminum. Hazardous environments are split into two groups: minimum anti-spark protection and maximum anti-spark protection.
(a) Minimum Anti-Spark Protection is used when only the load block enters the explosive area.
(b) Maximum Anti-Spark Protection is used when the hazardous area envelops the entire crane.
