Introduction to FEM 1.001 – Rules for the Design of Hoisting Appliances

Overview
This two-day course introduces participants to the FEM 1.001 guidelines, which provide rules for the mechanical design of hoisting appliances. Participants will explore classification principles, mechanical stress verification, and design standardization processes. This training ensures participants can interpret and apply FEM 1.001 for safer, more reliable lifting equipment design and specification.

Learning Outcome
Upon completing this course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the objective, scope, and structure of FEM 1.001.
• Identify design parameters and classification systems for hoisting appliances.
• Apply FEM rules for stress and fatigue verification in mechanical components.
• Interpret load spectrum and usage classifications.
• Develop technical specifications based on operational data.
