top running overhead cranes

Top running overhead crane

The top running overhead craine is mounted on rails. It is available in a single girder version for loads up to 16 tons, while the double girder version offers higher lifting capacity and greater outreach.

ICONS

Lifting capacity: up to ~ 125 metric tons

ICONS

Range: up to ~ 40 metres

ICONS

Lifting height: variable

ICONS

Hoist type: chain or wire rope

ICONS

Track: Solid square rails or ASCE type laid on running beams

under running overhead crane

Under running overhead crane

The under running overhead crane is installed under a crane runway fixed to the ceiling, allowing the addition of overhangs. It is less common than the top running overhead crane.

ICONS

Lifting capacity: up to ~ 16 metric tons

ICONS

Range: up to ~ 25 metres

ICONS

Lifting height: up to ~ 20 metres

ICONS

Hoist type: chain or wire rope

ICONS

Track : H- or I-beam attached to the building ceiling

wall-mounted overhead crane

Wall-mounted overhead crane

Groupe Industriel Premium also offers wall-mounted overhead cranes. A wall-mounted overhead crane is a lifting device attached directly to a wall in your building. So, unlike conventional overhead or suspended cranes, it doesn't require a self-supporting structure on the floor, or rails on the ceiling.

ICONS

Lifting capacity: up to ~ 10 metric tons

ICONS

Range: up to ~ 12 metres

ICONS

Lifting height: up to ~ 20 metres

ICONS

Hoist type: chain or wire rope

ICONS

Track: Wall-mounted H- or I-beams (3 fixing points required)

magnetic overhead crane

Magnet overhead cranes

Magnet overhead cranes use magnetism to lift loads, improving safety or enabling parts to be moved without anchoring points. They are often used to move steel plates to a cutting table, for storage or scrap handling.

Overhead cranes by environment

Overhead cranes can be used in a variety of environments, such as indoor buildings, unheated garages, outdoor spaces, as well as explosion-proof, dusty, high-temperature or corrosive environments. Each type of environment requires specific adaptations to ensure safe and efficient lifting operations.

Frequently asked questions

02.
Quelles informations transmettre à mon fournisseur?

Informations de base pour tout genre de demande

Pour un projet de levage, il est essentiel de définir le nombre et la capacité des équipements, leur emplacement et les échéanciers. Les dimensions clés incluent la hauteur de levage, la hauteur libre, ainsi que la superficie couverte. Il faut aussi préciser si une structure est requise et assurer une alimentation électrique adéquate. Enfin, l’application prévue reste un facteur déterminant pour une solution optimale.

Where to Start

Before selecting an overhead crane (freestanding, ceiling-mounted, single- or double-girder), make sure to clarify these key elements:

 

  1.  Your application
    Define the main use (maintenance, production, loading, etc.), the type of loads (weight, dimensions, rotation, tandem lifting), and how often the crane will be used.

  2.  Your environment
    Will the installation be indoors or outdoors? Is there an existing structure, or will one need to be built? What are the available dimensions and potential obstacles?

  3.  Key technical data
    Prepare your desired lifting capacity and height, building layout (if available), project timeline, power supply, and any special constraints.
