Single-girder overhead traveling crane

An overhead crane is ideal for any commercial environment where heavy lifting is a requirement, as the usability increases efficiency and safety in both industrial and assembly processes. If you are unfamiliar with the different components which make up Overhead Travelling Cranes, this will give you a better understanding of how they work and why they are so effective for industrial lifting purposes. They work by lifting a load and moving it backwards and forwards as well as side to side, covering a rectangular area of space. The hoist is the component which works as a lifting device, moving the load vertically using a wire rope or chain. The hoist travels side to side across the bridge. The bridge beam is connected to end carriages which travel along longitudinal girders, giving X – Y movements. Depending on the application, these movements can be manually propelled, powered – single speed, powered – two speeds, or frequency invertor controlled for infinitely precise operation and ultimate load control. Depending on the weight of the load and the duty cycle required, various Safe Working Loads (SWL) can be provided. These are typically: 125kg, 250kg, 500kg, 1T, 2T, 3.2T, 5T, 6.3T and 10T. However, we can supply cranes up to 20T! There are many different constructions available: top running crane, under-slung crane, single girder crane, double girder crane, goliath crane, semi-goliath crane, powered X-Y gantry, and manual traveling crane. All of which can be supplied freestanding (floor mounted) or integrated into existing steelwork. Bespoke solutions can also be manufactured to meet exact customer requirements.
