Electric Overhead Crane

The electric overhead crane is a powerful lifting solution designed to meet the demands of heavy-duty operations. Offering a reliable and efficient method for lifting large loads, these cranes are ideal for industries such as manufacturing, construction, and warehouses. With a robust electric system, they provide smooth, precise movements and are highly customizable to suit various operational needs.

Available in both single and double girder configurations, these cranes are engineered for long-term durability and optimal performance in demanding environments. Whether you need to lift materials across vast spaces or perform repetitive tasks with precision, the electric overhead crane delivers unparalleled value and efficiency.

Main Components

  • Wire Rope Hoist: The primary lifting component, featuring a drum mechanism that rolls and unrolls the wire rope for vertical lifting operations.

  • Lifting Rope: A durable synthetic rope designed for standard lifting, with an option for a high-strength steel wire rope for more demanding, heavy-duty tasks.

  • Trolley: The structure that holds the hoist and moves it horizontally across the crane’s beam. Available in both single and double girder configurations.

  • Main Girder: The horizontal support beam for the hoist and trolley, available in either profile or box girder types.

  • End Carriages: These components enclose the wheels that facilitate the crane’s movement along the tracks or rails.

  • Hooks: Forged steel hooks that comply with the DIN 15401 standard, ensuring secure and safe load handling.

  • Control System: Operates through pendant control, wireless remote, or can be integrated with smart control features for advanced functionalities.

  • Electrical System: The motorized system powering all crane operations, including wiring and optional intelligent features such as hook centering and obstacle detection for enhanced safety.
