The guideline compiles and explains the basics for time and handling studies on cranes. The implementation of such studies is illustrated using examples. Terms are defined and explained that are needed to determine the handling volume of cranes based on the unit of time. Such investigations are useful both in the planning and design of crane systems as well as in checking existing crane systems for time and capacity utilization and their improvement.*www.vdi.de/2195
