Overhead Beam Crane

The overhead beam crane is an essential tool for industrial lifting, designed to handle heavy loads with precision and efficiency. It features a robust beam structure that runs parallel to the building, offering superior lifting capabilities for factories, warehouses, and other heavy-duty environments. With customizable span and lifting height options, this crane is ideal for improving productivity and reducing operational downtime in a wide range of industries, from manufacturing to shipping and construction.

Main Components

  • Wire Rope Hoist: The essential lifting mechanism that uses a drum to guide the wire rope for controlled vertical movement.

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

  • Trolley: Carries the hoist and moves horizontally across the girder, available in both single and double girder designs for varied applications.

  • Main Girder: The key horizontal beam that supports the hoist and trolley; can be configured as a profile or box girder depending on span and load requirements.

  • End Carriages: House the wheels that facilitate smooth travel of the crane along its rails or surface.

  • Hooks: Precision-forged steel hooks made to meet DIN 15401 safety standards for secure load handling.

  • Control System: Includes a pendant control, wireless remote control, or integrated smart system, providing operators with flexible control options.

  • Electrical System: Features motors and wiring, along with optional smart technology like hook centering and obstacle detection to ensure safe, smooth operation.
