Your overhead crane is a critical part of your business. And when it isn’t working right, it creates problems. Our overhead crane inspection service inspects at least 20 different items on our service checklist and provides you with a detailed Crane Inspection Report with recommendations for maintenance and repairs.
Types of Overhead Cranes We Inspect and Service
- Top Running
A top-running crane is an overhead bridge crane where the crane’s end trucks ride on rails mounted on top of the runway beams. These cranes are commonly used in industrial environments, manufacturing facilities, and warehouses for heavy material handling.
- Under (Hung) Running
An under-running crane (also called an under-hung crane) is a type of overhead bridge crane where the end trucks ride on the bottom flange of the runway beams rather than on top. These cranes are often used in facilities where headroom is limited or where a lighter load capacity is sufficient.
- Single Girder
A single girder crane is an overhead bridge crane that has one main horizontal beam (girder) supporting the hoist and trolley system. It is a cost-effective and efficient solution for light to medium-duty lifting applications in warehouses, manufacturing plants, and workshops.
- Double Girder
A double girder crane is an overhead bridge crane that features two parallel girders supporting the hoist and trolley system. This design allows for higher load capacities and lifting heights, making it ideal for heavy-duty industrial applications such as manufacturing, shipbuilding, steel mills, and large warehouses.
- Overhead Traveling Bridge
An overhead traveling bridge crane is a material handling system used in industrial and manufacturing environments to move heavy loads efficiently across a workspace. It consists of a bridge (girder or girders) that travels along fixed runways, allowing movement in multiple directions.
- Jib
A jib crane is a type of lifting and material handling crane that consists of a horizontal boom (jib) that pivots on a fixed vertical support (mast or column). It is commonly used in workstations, warehouses, and assembly lines to lift and move materials within a defined area.
- Monorail
A monorail crane is a material handling system that consists of a single fixed track (monorail beam) along which a hoist and trolley travel. It is commonly used for point-to-point lifting in manufacturing plants, warehouses, and assembly lines where materials need to be moved along a fixed path.
- Gantry
A gantry crane is a type of overhead crane that uses legs (supports) to hold up the bridge, hoist, and trolley system, instead of being mounted to a building structure. These cranes are commonly used in outdoor settings, shipyards, construction sites, and warehouses where overhead crane runways are not feasible.
