Standard for free-standing steel structures - not buildings.

[Rodger Furey]

I'm trying to find any standards concerning the design of free-standing steel structures like the attached image.
This structure supports the rails for an overhead automated hoist. Capacity, 2000 lbs.
I am concerned that our current analysis of the structure design does not sufficiently look at every failure point.
I have been through the AISC manual of steel construction and have been dabbling with SkyCiv 3D structural software.
I am running into instances where the calcs seem to be tailored to building design and might be inappropriate for the structures I am dealing with.
If a standard exists, that would be great.
If not, perhaps some guidance on how to approach this problem from a structural engineer?
Thx!

If you are not a structural engineer then I suggest you talk to one. An amateur dabbling in SkyCiv trying to get a structural design out of it is asking for trouble. Even most inexperienced graduate structural engineers would struggle.

Agree with human909 but plenty of 1 tonne cranes out there in home amde sheds.

Building code will be fine. You've got an industrial shed without walls/roof. They're designed to building code. Look up crane supporting structure manuals.

Agree with human909 and Smoulder.

Here are a few standards:

ASME - STP-NU-015 American Crane Standards (

https://files.asme.org/catalog/stllc/printbook/20530.pdf)

IBC - 1607.15 Crane loads
CMAA Standards 70 and 74 (

http://www.overheadlifting.org/cmaa-releases-updates-to-overhead-crane-specifications-70-and-74/)

OSHA Specification 1910.179
ANSI Specification B30.11
ASME B30.2-2022: Overhead And Gantry Cranes

How about ASCE 7-16 for seismic loading?

We dont want to make a house of cards here, that little guy in the image wont be too happy if this thing come crashing down on his head.
