Overhead Cranes (Types)
Top Running Bridge Cranes
Single Girder
Top running bridge cranes with a single girder tend to operate from a 1-15 ton capacity. The single girder bridge crane trucks operate on a fixed track with the tracks attached to the top flange of the runway beams. The crane’s hoist are located under bridge on the lower flange.
Double Girder
Top running bridge cranes with a double girder tend to operate from a 15-160 ton capacity. The double girder operates on the same system as the single girder; however, they are engineered with a stronger structural design to account for additional tonnage capacity. The double girder is essential in spreading out the load of the bridge crane.
Jib Cranes
Jib cranes are versatile cranes capable of maneuvering 360 degrees around their support structure. Jib Cranes offer (3) directions of movement which consist of rotational around the axis, movement along the jib (traversing), and vertical (up and down).
Monorail Cranes
Monorail Cranes are ideal for hoisting and transporting an object along a fixed path. Monorail cranes have single beams and the trolley rides on the lower flange of the track.
