A roof crane is a specialized lifting solution designed to provide maximum flexibility and precision for handling heavy loads in industrial settings. These cranes are mounted on the roof structure of a building or facility, making them ideal for operations where ground space is limited or where traditional overhead cranes cannot be used. Known for their robust construction and reliable performance, roof cranes are perfect for a variety of applications, from manufacturing plants to maintenance facilities.
Wire Rope Hoist: The primary lifting mechanism that utilizes a drum to wind and unwind the wire rope, enabling vertical movement of heavy loads.
Lifting Rope: A high-strength synthetic rope is standard, with an option for steel wire rope for more demanding lifting tasks.
Trolley: The component that transports the hoist along the crane’s girder, available in both single and double girder configurations.
Main Girder: The beam that supports both the hoist and trolley, available in profile or box girder types, depending on the design needs.
End Carriages: The support units at the bottom of the crane legs, housing wheels that allow smooth movement of the crane along its designated rails.
Hooks: Forged to meet the DIN 15401 standard, these hooks ensure safe and secure load handling during lifting operations.
Control System: The crane’s operation is controlled via pendant control, wireless remote control, or integrated smart control features, offering versatile and precise functionality.
Electrical System: Comprises motors, wiring, and optional smart features such as hook centering and obstacle detection to enhance safety and performance.
Load Capacity: Capable of lifting up to 50 tons.
Lifting Height: Maximum lifting height of 24 meters.
Span: Spans available up to 30 meters.
Crane Configuration: Available in both Single Girder and Double Girder setups.
Girder Type: Choose between Profile Girder (for up to 12 meters) and Box Girder (for up to 30 meters).
Lifting Rope: Standard with synthetic rope, optional steel wire rope for heavy-duty lifting.
Hoisting Motor: Comes with 2-speed hoisting as standard; Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) option available.
Temperature Range: Designed to operate within the temperature range of +5°C to +40°C.
Coating: Features a 70 µm epoxy resin powder-coated anodized aluminum frame for added durability.
Hook Standard: Manufactured to DIN 15401 standards for secure and reliable lifting.
Trolley Type: Compatible with both single and double girder crane configurations.
Power Supply: Powered by either flat cable or drag chain systems.
Control Options: Operate the crane via pendant control or optional wireless remote control.
Smart Features: Equipped with hook centering, obstacle detection, and auto-follow functionalities for enhanced safety and efficiency.
Environmental Suitability: Ideal for both indoor and outdoor operations.
High Lifting Capacity: Typically from 1 ton up to dozens of tons, or even higher for special applications
Suitable for Complex Working Conditions: Performs reliably under high-frequency and high-intensity operations
Long Service Life: Steel wire rope offers excellent wear resistance, ideal for long-term continuous use
Fast Lifting Speed: Ensures higher efficiency, especially beneficial for long lifting strokes
Highly Customizable: Flexible design options to suit different rail systems and working environments
