Ceiling Crane

A ceiling crane is an essential tool for material handling in spaces where floor space is limited. Mounted on the ceiling, these cranes provide a convenient solution for lifting and moving heavy loads with minimal interference to the floor area. At Yonghao Crane Co., Ltd., we specialize in providing ceiling cranes that maximize your workshop or warehouse’s potential while delivering outstanding performance and safety. Whether for light-duty applications or heavy lifting, our ceiling cranes are designed to offer a compact, yet powerful solution for a wide range of industries.

Main Components

  • Electric Chain Hoist: The primary lifting unit powered by an electric motor that drives the lifting chain.

  • Load Chain: A robust alloy chain designed for lifting, ensuring smooth, controlled motion during operation.

  • Trolley: Supports the hoist and moves horizontally along the girder, available in both single and double girder configurations.

  • Girder: The main structural beam (profile or box girder) that supports the trolley and hoist system.

  • Hooks: Heavy-duty forged steel hooks, meeting industry safety standards for secure lifting.

  • Control System: Features a pendant control system (festoon) or an optional wireless remote for convenient operation.

  • Travel Motor & Drive: Provides seamless, precise horizontal movement with stepless travel motion.

  • Power Supply System: A drag chain or cable system ensures reliable and stable power delivery to the hoist.
