A steel manufacturer was experiencing problems with the gripping levers on their straddle carrier trucks. The levers had several cracks and in some cases failures. Along with input from the customer, Hunter Lift engineers used their expertise to assess and rectify the issues. Components of the gripping levers were evaluated for stress concentrations and possible fatigue failures. The broken ears were replaced with new ears, utilizing larger bosses and full penetration welds. Some of the high stressed plates were replaced with heavier plates and additional gussets. The main pivot pin housing was replaced with heavy wall alloy tubing to prevent welds from cracking. Upon completion, the straddle carrier was analyzed by an NDT technician to verify weld integrity. The redesigned lever has resulted in a lower repair cost and less downtime for maintenance.
