Problem Statement

Since the advent of architecture, cranes have been an essential tool in moving and placing heavy loads. Even in modern times, cranes of all sorts are still being used. This project focuses on the design, fabrication, and testing of a small scale model of an overhead gantry crane to be used by our customer, Dr. Jackson Potter, as a classroom demonstration of the engineering techniques used to control a real crane.
