Small Overhead Crane Systems

Yonghao Crane’s small overhead crane systems provide efficient and reliable lifting solutions for light to medium-duty applications. Designed to maximize productivity in compact workspaces, these systems allow operators to lift, transport, and position materials safely and precisely. Perfect for workshops, warehouses, and maintenance areas, these cranes combine robust construction, flexible design, and user-friendly controls to streamline operations and reduce manual effort.

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: Supports loads up to 50 tons, suitable for heavy-duty lifting.

  • Lifting Height: Reaches heights of up to 24 meters for versatile applications.

  • Span: Covers spans up to 30 meters.

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

  • Girder Design: Offers profile girder or box girder designs.

  • Lifting Rope: Comes standard with synthetic rope, with steel wire rope as an optional upgrade for heavier lifting needs.

  • Hoisting Motor: Equipped with 2-speed hoisting motor (standard), with variable frequency available for precise control.

  • Operating Temperature: Designed to function reliably between +5°C to +40°C.

  • Paint Coating: Finished with 70 µm epoxy resin powder coating and an anodized aluminum frame for durability.

  • Hook Standard: Complies with DIN 15401 for secure lifting operations.

  • Trolley Type: Compatible with both single and double girder cranes.

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

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

  • Smart Features: Equipped with hook centering, obstacle prevention, and auto-follow functions.

  • Environment: Suitable for indoor and outdoor applications.

 

Key Advantages

  • Exceptional Lifting Capacity: Ranges from 1 ton up to several dozen tons, with options for even higher capacities for specialized applications.

  • Reliable in Challenging Conditions: Performs consistently under high-frequency and intensive workloads.

  • Durable and Long-Lasting: Steel wire rope provides superior wear resistance for extended continuous operation.

  • Efficient Lifting Speed: Offers fast lifting, enhancing productivity, particularly for long lifting distances.

  • Highly Adaptable Design: Flexible configuration options allow seamless integration with various rail systems and work environments.
