= 37,500kN
Example 3 Ground Bearing Pressures Tables
1. Crane Weight
The maximum weight of the crane to be used 50,000kgs (worst case scenario)
2. Load
The maximum load to be lifted 22,000kgs + Load 1,500kgs
3. Outrigger Load
Point load = (1+2) x 100% = (50,000 + 23,500) x1 = 73,500kgs or 73.5t
4. Ground Type
Ground comes in granular and cohesive types.
5. Mat size
Mat size deducted from point load in 3 (in kNs) / (Soil type value 2)
73500 x 9.81 = 721,035 kNs
721.0kNs / 300KN/m2 = 2.40 m2
= 1.6m X 1.6m minimum
A. Soil is compact ground (gravel 100mm in depth) covered in tar. Two outriggers will be placed
here. The other two will be placed on medium dense gravel [Dense gravel has a bearing value
of >600kNm2 medium dense gravel <200 – 600kNm2] Area has transport trailers carrying
ISO containers so a pessimistic ground bearing value of 300kNm has been selected.

Crane Configuration – Radius: 12m – Boom length: 32.4m (Crane can lift 4.5 tons)
Crane Utilisation
Load 4t x 100 ÷ 4.5 = 88.8% Crane Utilization too high for hazardous area (Chemical Plant)
= Resistance Coefficiency
Mobile cranes are designed with a standard drag factor of 1.2 and a wind
area/weight of 1.2 m²/tonne.
