(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?
(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

I am trying to carry out a hook time analysis on a insitu concrete frame. We are trying to establish which subcontractor is more realistic, one is saying 3 cranes the other four. Has anyone got a worked example of a similar exercise?
Many Regards

Hi Derrick
This is my own formula which is used in conjunction with Asta PowerProject.
Once you have researched the variables for the specified crane then the result is used as a resource added to tasks requiring crane use.
The Histogram will need to be levelled when the total hooks per day is known.

Dear Sir, i am a beginner and i want to know how u came about this analysis and it importance?
Dear all
I am just a beginner , can any one advise me what " Hook Time " Means " Hooks per Day "
Thank you
Hi Andrew
This topic is part of module 9 in the Advanced Planning set in Planning Acaemy tuition modules.
The following sections are the basic formulas for a 4 story concrete frame with brick cladding.
DO NOT USE these examples for your project - do your own research into the variables.
The calculations need a programme resource on your barchart called hooks which is applied to all tasks that need crane use - don't forget the formwork tables which all need hook time.
Part 1 Crane Capacity:
| Luffing Crane | ||
| Typical Capacity for a Small Crane | ||
| Max Load | 5 | tonne |
| Min Load | 1.5 | tonne |
| Operation | Time | |
| Sling Up | 5 | mins |
| Hoist | 4 | mins up |
| Discharge | 3 | mins |
| Hoist | 2 | mins down |
| Cycle | 14 | mins |
| Hoist per Hr | 4 | |
| Work hrs per day | 6 | |
| Hooks per day | 24 | |

Part 3 Hook Numbers
| Code | Material Type | Volume | Container | Capacity | Hooks | Programme Tasks | Hooks per Use | Work Days | Hooks Per day | ||
| 1 | Concrete in Columns | 110 | m3 | Skip | 0.8 | 138 | 5 | 28 | 1 | 28 | |
| 2 | Concrete in Slabs | 522 | m3 | Skip | 0.8 | 653 | 5 | 131 | 1 | 131 | <<<< Pump |
| 3 | Rebar in Columns | 14 | tonne | Sling | 1.2 | 12 | 5 | 3 | 3 | 1 | |
| 4 | Rebar in Slabs | 69 | tonne | Sling | 1.2 | 58 | 5 | 12 | 3 | 4 | |
| 5 | Table Forms | 75 | unit | unit | 1 | 75 | 8 | 10 | 3 | 4 | |
| 6 | External Brick m2 | 42750 | nr | pallettes | 624 | 69 | 9 | 8 | 8 | 1 | |
| 7 | Internal Block | 2640 | nr | palletes | 80 | 33 | 7 | 5 | 8 | 1 | |
| 8 | Roof Plant | 5 | units | unit | 1 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 5 | 1 | |
| 9 | Internal Heavy | 30 | units | unit | 1 | 30 | 4 | 8 | 2 | 4 |
This requires 1 luffing jib crane use a factor for more than one crane to adjust the hooks per hour ratio per day.
