o 3.3.9 Bulk-handling crane o 3.3.10 Loader crane Overhead crane: An overhead crane, also known as a bridge crane, is a type of crane where the hook-and-line mechanism runs along a horizontal beam that it self runs along two widely separated rails. Often it is in a long factory building and runs along rails along the building's two long walls .

The manufactured configurations were tested according to the ASTM D 3039 and ASTM D 4255 for the in-plane mechanical properties and according to ASTM G 99 for the friction coefficient. Also, specific wear rate and through-thickness compression test were performed according to [29]. The effects of the MWCNTs on the composite were determined from the tests results.
