Do you design crane runway beams to accommodate the 125% OSHA test loading for overhead cranes or do you allow the test load to rely on the safety factor?
I am having a difficult time understanding why a 20 ton crane would need to be designed for 25 tons.
I have not seen any crane design references (including AISC Steel Design Guide Series 7) that address the 125% test loading requirement.
Any documented information that indicates the crane support structure shall be designed for 125% of the rated crane load would be appreciated. Thanks!
