User can select one of the following 3 options to calculate crane side
thrust load.
Option 1 Hs = 0.2 (Lifted Load+ Trolley/Hoist Wt)
Option 2 Hs = max of 0.2 (Lifted Load+ Trolley/Hoist Wt)
0.1 (Lifted Load+ Entire Crane Wt)
Option 3 Hs = max of 0.2 (Lifted Load+ Trolley/Hoist Wt)
0.1 (Lifted Load+ Entire Crane Wt)
0.4 Lifted Load
Option 4 Hs =1.0 x Lifted Load as side thrust
Option 5 Hs =2.0 x Lifted Load as side thrust

Structures 2nd Ed
If the crane is Pendant operated, Option 2 is recommended.
If the crane is Cab operated, Option 3 is recommended.
