Overhead Travelling Crane

The overhead travelling crane is a vital piece of equipment for industries that require precise and heavy-duty lifting capabilities. These cranes are designed to operate on a horizontal rail system, enabling both vertical and horizontal movement with ease. With their robust structure and advanced engineering, overhead travelling cranes can handle a wide range of lifting tasks, from light to extremely heavy loads, making them indispensable in manufacturing plants, warehouses, construction sites, and many other sectors.

At Yonghao, our overhead travelling cranes are engineered to provide exceptional performance in the most demanding environments. They are equipped with advanced features such as frequency control for smooth operation, customizable designs for different spans and lifting heights, and built-in safety features like anti-collision and overload protection. Whether you’re handling delicate components or massive industrial equipment, our cranes are designed to ensure smooth, reliable, and safe lifting operations at all times.

Main Components

  • The wire rope hoist serves as the primary lifting mechanism, utilizing a drum to spool and unspool the wire rope for smooth vertical movement.

  • The lifting rope is typically a standard synthetic material, with an optional upgrade to high-strength steel wire rope for more demanding, heavy-duty lifting applications.

  • The trolley holds the hoist and moves along the crane’s girder, which can be configured in either a single or double girder setup, allowing for smooth horizontal travel.

  • The main girder is the central support beam of the crane, holding both the hoist and trolley in place. It can be designed as either a profile girder for lighter spans or a box girder for heavier-duty spans.

  • End carriages house the wheels that facilitate the crane’s ability to move along its rails or along a ground-mounted system.

  • The hooks are constructed to the DIN 15401 standard, ensuring safe and secure lifting operations.

  • The control system is user-friendly and can be operated either via pendant control, wireless remote control, or advanced integrated smart features for enhanced precision and ease of operation.

  • The electrical system powers all the crane’s movements and includes motors, wiring, and optional smart functionalities like automatic hook centering and obstacle detection to optimize safety and performance.
