3 ton Overhead Crane

The 3 ton overhead crane by Yonghao is engineered for precise, efficient lifting in a variety of environments. Known for its compact design, reliability, and excellent performance, this crane is perfect for handling small to medium-sized loads across factories, warehouses, and production facilities. Whether you’re lifting tools, equipment, or materials, the 3 ton crane offers a safe and highly versatile solution.

Main Components

  • Wire Rope Hoist: The main lifting mechanism that utilizes a drum to wind and unwind wire rope for vertical motion.

  • Lifting Rope: Standard synthetic rope is used, with the option to upgrade to a high-strength steel wire rope for more demanding lifting tasks.

  • Trolley: Supports the hoist and moves horizontally along the crane’s beam, available in both single and double girder configurations.

  • Main Girder: The horizontal structural beam that carries the hoist and trolley, designed in either profile or box girder styles.

  • End Carriages: These house the wheels that facilitate the crane’s movement along the rails or ground track.

  • Hooks: Manufactured to meet the DIN 15401 standards for secure and reliable lifting.

  • Control System: Operates via a pendant control system, wireless remote control, or smart control features, depending on your operational needs.

  • Electrical System: Comprises motors, wiring, and optional smart features like hook centering, load detection, and obstacle avoidance for enhanced safety and efficiency.
