15 Ton Overhead Crane

The 15 ton overhead crane from Yonghao Crane Co., Ltd. is engineered for heavy-duty industrial lifting and material handling. Designed for precision, efficiency, and safety, this crane allows operators to lift, move, and position loads up to 15 tons with ease. Its robust construction and advanced control systems make it ideal for indoor workshops, warehouses, and manufacturing facilities, optimizing workflow and reducing manual labor.

Main Components

  • Wire Rope Hoist: The central lifting unit that uses a drum to wind and unwind the wire rope for vertical movement.

  • Lifting Rope: Standard synthetic rope with optional high-strength steel wire rope for heavy-duty lifting.

  • Trolley: Carries the hoist and moves horizontally along the crane’s girder (available in single or double girder form).

  • Main Girder: The horizontal beam that supports the trolley and hoist; available in profile or box girder designs.

  • End Carriages: House the wheels that allow the crane to travel along the rails.

  • Hooks: Made according to DIN 15401 standard for secure lifting.

  • Control System: Operated via pendant control, remote control, or integrated smart features.

  • Electrical System: Includes motors, wiring, and optional smart functions like hook centering and obstacle prevention.

 

Technical Specifications

  • Lifting Capacity: Handles loads up to 50 tons, suitable for heavy-duty lifting tasks.

  • Lifting Height: Reaches heights of up to 24 meters to accommodate various operational needs.

  • Span: Supports a span of up to 30 meters for flexible coverage.

  • Crane Type: Available in single girder or double girder configurations.

  • Girder Design: Options include profile girder or box girder designs.

  • Lifting Rope: Comes with synthetic rope as standard, with steel wire rope available for heavy-duty applications.

  • Hoisting Motor: Equipped with 2-speed motor as standard, with variable frequency options for precision control.

  • Operating Temperature: Functions reliably within +5°C to +40°C.

  • Paint Coating: Finished with 70 µm epoxy resin powder-coated anodized aluminum for durability.

  • Hook Standard: Complies with DIN 15401 safety standards.

  • Trolley Type: Compatible with single or double girder setups.

  • Power Supply: Uses flat cable or drag chain for stable energy transmission.

  • Control Options: Operable via pendant control or wireless remote for convenient operation.

  • Smart Features: Includes hook centering, obstacle prevention, and auto-follow function for enhanced safety and efficiency.

  • Environment: Suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
