Main Components

  • Main Girder: The horizontal support beam that carries the hoisting trolley. Available in both single and double girder configurations for different load capacities.

  • Supporting Legs: Vertical columns that uphold the main girder and provide structural stability, connecting to the rails or wheels for crane movement.

  • End Carriages / Wheels: Positioned at the base of the supporting legs, these components enable the crane to move smoothly along the rails or ground surface.

  • Hoisting Trolley: This unit travels along the girder, supporting the hoist that performs the lifting and lowering of materials.

  • Hoist: Available as either a wire rope or chain hoist, it is responsible for lifting and lowering the load efficiently.

  • Electrical System: Supplies power to all crane movements, including motors, control panels, and necessary wiring for operation.

  • Control Options: Choose from pendant controls, wireless remote controls, or an operator cabin, depending on the specific needs of your crane operation.
