This paper describes the development of a two-tier system of wind protection for railway cranes. Unlike currently used technical safety equipment, the wind protection system implements a comprehensive approach to ensuring the protection of cranes from dangerous wind conditions in accordance with regulatory requirements. The article describes the structure of the system, the development of new safety measures, and the necessary improvements to existing ones. The structure and informational content of the dispatch station have been developed, on the basis of which the second level of the wind protection system is built, and prospects for improving the algorithms of its operation are described.

The article presents the results obtained during the dissertation research on the development of a new generation bridge crane safety device. The functionality of the device is described. An assessment of the quality of the functions performed, obtained in laboratory and field experiments, is given.

The article discusses the designs of support trolleys used abroad for overhead double-girder cranes. The characteristics and designs of domestic and foreign trolleys, including bogies from manufacturers SWF (Germany), Worldhoists (China), were compared. The production conditions are considered. The assessment of the technical and technological possibilities of using similar solutions by manufacturers of domestic overhead cranes is given. The reasons preventing import substitution and possible solutions are described.
