Double-girder overhead crane

You will be provided with a range of solutions to remove the burden of manual handling, such as a Handling Concept’s overhead crane. You can depend on almost 30 years of experience and entrust skilled engineers to help you improve the productivity and health and safety of your workers. Overhead cranes (also known as bridge cranes) comprise two or more parallel runways with bridge rails spanning the gap between them. Lifting devices such as hoists are suspended from the bridge rail. They offer many possibilities for handling loads quickly, safely, and efficiently. The parallel runways allow the bridge rails to move horizontally, lifting and transporting the load along the length of the workplace. Bridge rails provide the same movement but on an opposite axis, allowing horizontal travel across the width of the workplace. Depending on the application, these movements can be done by pushing manually, or electrically powered for precise operation and ultimate control of heavy loads. Overhead cranes increase health and safety in the workplace as they remove the burden of manual handling. They can benefit your workers and business and can help in various ways: • Lifting something too heavy for a person to handle manually • Raising an item to a location that is not easily accessible for the person • Reducing the risk of musculoskeletal injuries and repetitive strain injury through incorrect manual handling • Eliminating employee fatigue from moving items manually • Improving the efficiency of the production line • Reducing the risk of workplace accidents
