Top running overhead cranes are widely used in warehouses, industrial plants, and material manufacturing plants to lift and move heavy goods. A top running crane runs on a fixed track system installed in each runway beam. This allows the end trucks to carry the hoist and bridge on a top runway system. Top running overhead cranes come in single or double girder bridge configurations. These cranes have no limiting capacity which means they can be designed to handle small or large capacity loads of anywhere between ¼ ton to 100-ton weights. These types of cranes are usually supported by an existing building structure or supported by columns to support extremely heavy loads.
Top running overhead cranes can provide additional lift height in buildings with limited head space because they run on rails on the top of a runway beam. Top running double girder bridge cranes allow greater lifting height as the hoist and trolley ride on top of two girders or bridges, providing extra hook height.
A top running overhead crane is a popular choice for use in the following industries:
– Pre-assembly operations in order to lift pre-assembled parts safely and easily.
– It is also widely used in large steel plate manufacturing plants for lifting steel plates, rods, and billets, etc.
– Suitable in the harsh working environment of the Steel Foundry industry to handle mixing of molten iron and moving molten steel at high temperatures.
– For slab handling with the addition of a clamp as a hoisting mechanism for smooth and safe lifting.
Different Types of Lifting Components
Some of the main lifting components provided to equip an overhead crane for different types of projects include:
• Electric Chain Hoist
• Wire Rope Hoist
• Electric Winch
• Grab
• Clamp
• European Standard Hoist
Single Girder Electric Hoist Top Running Overhead Crane
Single girder overhead electric hoist cranes are commonly used in warehouses, workshops, and manufacturing plants to lift and move heavy materials vertically and horizontally. Industrial lifting equipment can be customized according to the size of your warehouse and your lifting requirements.
Double Girder Top Running Electric Hoist Overhead Crane
A double girder overhead crane provides heavy lifting solutions for lifting and transporting extra heavy materials. It is widely used in shipyards, warehouses, factories, processing plants, and workshops to transfer heavy loads from one area to another.
European Standard Overhead Crane
An electric European Standard overhead traveling crane is lifting machinery that complies with international standards for processing including DIN (Germany) ISO (international), and FEM (Europe). Features include outstanding design structure, strong rigidity, and lighter deadweight.
