Bridge Cranes
Top Running Bridge Cranes
Top running bridge cranes are designed for facilities with low headroom. The system moves above the runway, allowing more space between the hook and the ground. A rail is installed on top of the runway beams for the wheels to ride on.
Underhung Bridge Cranes
Generally a lot lighter than a top running system, underhung crane runways allows for more versatility. Underhung bridge cranes are typically used for lighter applications; under 20 tons. These systems can be mounted from the ceiling or interlocked together. Because the bridge runs underneath the runway rail, multiple systems can be run side-by-side without interfering with one another.
Manual Overhead Bridge Crane
Push/pull or hand chain bridge cranes are the most cost-effective solution of the top running bridge crane options. This bridge crane style is limited to a 5-ton capacity due to the manpower it would take to lift and/or move a load of that weight.
