This paper is concerned with the investigation of the dynamic behaviors of cranes under Base excitation. For this purpose, firstly we have performed an experiment on a 1/10 scale crane model and shaking table, then a multi-degree-of-freedom non-linear mathematical model is developed including the behavior of the gantry cranes. The result of this study which is an accurate mathematical model can be inspiring for the engineers in terms of design parameters. In this study, a prototype is prepared of a particular gantry crane and shaking table with comprehensive calculations and the base excitation is artificially produced by the means of vibromotors. The paper elucidates the analysis of dynamic motion behavior of the prototype using FFT Response, Time Domain Response and Orbit Plot tools, to understand the effect of industrial base excitation on the gantry crane and to provide a better layout for the setup of various machinery in the industry.
