Metal Building Systems Manual II. Crane Loads
The crane or cranes shall be located longitudinally in the aisle in the positions that
produce the most unfavorable effect on the runway beam, runway beam connections,
support brackets and suspension system. Consideration shall be given to eccentric
loads induced by a single crane.

For crane aisles located outside enclosed buildings, consideration should be given to
the initial velocity and related bumper force that may be produced by the action of
specified wind loads on the crane.
2.9 Fatigue
The effect of fatigue shall be included in the design and detailing of crane runway
beams, their connections, support brackets, and suspension systems for cranes with
service classifications B through D as given in Section 2.9.1. Frames, support
columns, and longitudinal bracing need not be designed for fatigue conditions. The
allowable stresses for parts and connections subject to fatigue shall be calculated in
accordance with Appendix K4 of "Specification for the Design, Fabrication and
