Small Overhead Crane

The small overhead crane is a versatile and space-saving lifting solution designed to handle light-duty material lifting tasks in confined spaces. Whether you’re working in a small workshop, warehouse, or production area, this crane offers a powerful yet compact solution to move materials with ease. Its design ensures that it doesn’t take up unnecessary floor space, making it ideal for environments where maximizing available room is a priority. At Yonghao Crane Co., Ltd., we provide high-quality small overhead cranes that deliver outstanding performance, safety, and durability to meet the needs of various industries.

Main Components

  • Wire Rope Hoist: The primary lifting mechanism that uses a drum to reel in and release the wire rope, facilitating vertical lifting and lowering.

  • Lifting Rope: Typically a synthetic rope, with an optional high-strength steel wire rope available for heavy-duty lifting applications.

  • Trolley: The component that holds the hoist and moves it horizontally along the crane’s beam, available in both single and double girder configurations.

  • Main Girder: The horizontal supporting beam for the hoist and trolley, offered in either profile or box girder designs.

  • End Carriages: Contain the wheels that enable the crane to travel smoothly along the rails.

  • Hooks: Forged steel hooks designed to meet DIN 15401 standards, ensuring secure and reliable lifting.

  • Control System: Operated via pendant controls, remote controls, or advanced smart features for enhanced ease of use.

  • Electrical System: Comprising motors, wiring, and optional smart functionalities like hook centering and obstacle detection for safer operation.
