The purpose of this thesis is to develop a guideline template that should supportthe industrial partner when designing lifting equipment. A newly updated standardwith focus on fatigue was the base of the project. The standard divides load cyclesinto over and under 16 000 cycles and they have different requirements. Thisproject explains how to reach these requirements. By interpretation of neededvariables/calculation and how to solve these calculations. A workflow for Finiteelement analysis is presented and analysis is done on lifting equipment. The resulta guideline template with focus on fatigue which indicates which requirementsneeds which solution.
