Overhead Crane: Overhead Rail-Mounted Lifting Solution

Also known as a bridge crane or "tian che," an overhead crane operates on rails installed at the top of industrial buildings like factories or warehouses. Comprising a bridge frame, cart running mechanism, trolley running mechanism, and lifting mechanism, it enables material hoisting within a specified range, serving as a cornerstone in industrial production and logistics for its stability and efficiency.

Advantages

Heavy-Duty Rail-Mounted Lifting

Provides continuous operation on fixed overhead rails, ideal for large factories/warehouses. Capable of handling repetitive heavy loads (up to 600 tons per factory specs), enhancing production line efficiency in manufacturing facilities.

Durable Construction & Low Vibration

Built with welded steel girders and anti-sway control systems, ensuring stability during high-speed operation. Reduces product damage risks when transporting sensitive equipment or bulk materials.

Remote Control & Automation Ready

Supports wireless pendant or radio control for operator safety in hazardous environments. Can be integrated with IoT systems for real-time load monitoring and predictive maintenance.

Bridge cranes can be classified as a type of overhead crane. This is due to the horizontal bridge which crosses an area of interest elevating the workspace. The children move along the runways as the carriages carry them. The trolley which has the hoist also travels along the bridge. Movement in two directions is also possible. The entire workspace can be covered by this design which enables a wide variety of industries such as warehousing, construction, and manufacturing to take advantage of it. Electric, hydrolic, and manual systems can be used to power the crane which also makes it more attractive. It can also come in different bearing capacities in order to support small scale operations or even heavy scale operations like lifting huge and heavy loads.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where are overhead cranes mainly used?

Overhead cranes are mainly used in industrial production and logistics fields. In manufacturing plants, they are essential for moving raw materials, components, and finished products within the facility, facilitating assembly lines and production processes. In logistics centers and warehouses, overhead cranes help with loading and unloading goods from trucks, trains, or storage racks, improving the efficiency of material handling and inventory management.
An overhead crane consists of several main components. The bridge frame is the main structure that spans the workspace. The bridge traveling mechanism enables the bridge to move horizontally along the tracks on the building's supporting structures. The trolley traveling mechanism moves the hoisting mechanism along the bridge. The hoisting mechanism, which includes the hoist, drum, and lifting device, is responsible for lifting and lowering the load. Additionally, there are control systems, safety devices, and electrical components for operation and safety.
The working range of an overhead crane is determined by the length of the runway beams (where the bridge moves) and the travel range of the trolley on the bridge. The length of the runway beams defines the horizontal movement range of the crane along the building, while the trolley's movement on the bridge allows for lateral movement. Together, these factors determine the area within which the crane can lift and transport loads, and it can be customized according to the specific needs of the industrial facility.
Single - girder overhead cranes have a single main beam, making them simpler in structure, lighter in weight, and more cost - effective. They are suitable for light - to - medium - duty applications with lower load - capacity requirements and smaller spans. Double - girder overhead cranes, with two main beams, offer higher load - bearing capacities, greater stability, and can handle heavier loads and larger spans. They are typically used in heavy - duty industrial environments, such as large factories and ports.
