The truck frames usually are built up of structural steelwith cast steel bearing brackets and cast steel or chilledcast iron truck wheels. They are attached to the cranebridge by gussets and angle irons. Cast steel framesare used on many cranes and, when so designed as toprovide adequate strength, are desirable because of theelimination of many of the bolted or riveted parts neces-sary in structural work. The type of construction of these end trucks varieswith the size and capacity of the crane. On single I-beamcranes and other overhead traveling cranes of light ca-pacity, the end trucks each consist of two small wheelsmounted in suitable bearings of the pin and keeper typeand spaced by a simple plate or channel or by cast steelor sometimes, in cranes not subjected to severe service,cast iron side frames.
