Abstract :In this study, the optimum design of an overhead crane construction was carried out using The Bees Algorithm in order to have minimum weight while fulfilling the desired technical and functional features. The sheet materials, which are the girders of overhead cranes, are produced by forming boxes and welding to each other, the largest item is the amount of material used. In addition, the major factor affecting the movements and operating costs during their operations is the mechanical construction. For these reasons, it is very important that the weight of the crane that will do the lifting work with the same characteristics is low and the construction work is also outside the operation. Therefore, the purpose of the design of the crane is to provide maximum performance with minimum cost from the system. In the construction design of the overhead crane, it is necessary to make the most appropriate choices according to the important parameter, such as weight, overhead span, variable parameters of the working class, as well as minimized fire. In this type of displaying The Bees Algorithm, a sample overhead crane construction design, necessary and constraints were defined and the most appropriate parameters were provided. An overhead crane was compared numerically before and after optimization for the design parameters determined according to the FEM (Federation Europenne de la Manutetion) standard. Obtained results are given in the form of tables.
