5 Ton Overhead Crane Cost

When evaluating the 5 ton overhead crane cost, it is important to look beyond the initial price and consider the overall performance, durability, and long-term savings the crane delivers. A 5 ton overhead crane is a versatile lifting solution widely used in warehouses, workshops, and production lines for handling medium-duty loads with efficiency and safety.

Our 5 ton cranes are designed with high-quality components, precise hoisting mechanisms, and advanced control options such as pendant or remote control, ensuring smooth and reliable operations. With customizable spans, lifting heights, and girder designs, the crane adapts perfectly to different facility layouts while keeping installation and maintenance costs low. Choosing a 5 ton overhead crane not only enhances productivity but also provides excellent value for investment by reducing downtime and extending service life.

Main Components

  • Wire Rope Hoist: The primary lifting mechanism that operates with a drum system, enabling the wire rope to raise and lower loads.

  • Lifting Rope: Comes standard with synthetic rope, with the option of upgrading to durable steel wire rope for more demanding lifting needs.

  • Trolley: Supports and transports the hoist horizontally across the crane girder, available in both single-girder and double-girder setups.

  • Main Girder: A structural beam designed to hold the hoist and trolley; can be manufactured as either a profile girder or a box girder.

  • End Carriages: Fitted with wheel assemblies that allow smooth crane travel along fixed rails.

  • Hooks: Designed in compliance with DIN 15401 standards to ensure safe and secure load handling.

  • Control System: Flexible operation through pendant control, wireless remote, or advanced smart-control integrations.

  • Electrical System: Equipped with motors, cabling, and optional intelligent features such as automatic hook centering and obstacle detection.
