Overhead Crane

Ceiling Mounted Bridge Crane​

Ceiling mounted bridge cranes are primarily installed on the roof structures of industrial buildings and are used for lifting and handling materials in workshops, assembly lines, warehouses, and similar facilities. They move along overhead tracks via a girder and, in conjunction with electric hoists, lift and transport equipment components, tooling fixtures, molds, and small-to-medium-sized materials. Since they do not occupy floor space, they are ideal for production environments with limited space. Voitto is a bridge crane manufacturer that provides customized solutions based on requirements such as lifting capacity, span, lifting height, and factory structural conditions.

  • Lifting Capacity: 1–20 Ton
  • Span: 3–20 m
  • Lifting Height: 3–12 m

Ceiling Mounted Bridge Crane​ Parts

A ceiling mounted overhead crane primarily consists of the following key components:

Ceiling Mounted Bridge Crane​ Parts
  • Bridge Girder: The main load-bearing structure of the crane, spanning the rails to support the operation of the electric hoist and trolley.
  • Hoist and Trolley: Enable the lifting and lateral movement of materials, as well as the precise hoisting and positioning of cargo.
  • Runway Rails: Installed on the roof structure of the factory building, providing track support for the crane’s overall operation.
  • End Trucks: Connect the two ends of the main girder and are equipped with running wheels, enabling the crane to move forward and backward along the rails.
  • Control System: Used to control the crane’s hoisting, travel, and positioning; common methods include push-button control or wireless remote control.

Key Advantages of Ceiling Mounted Bridge Cranes

  • Space Saving Design: Installed on the roof structure of the facility, these cranes eliminate the need for floor columns, saving workshop space.
  • Flexible Installation: Can be installed on steel or concrete structures, offering flexible installation options.

Gantry Crane Vs Bridge Crane

In the world of material handling and heavy lifting, gantry cranes and bridge cranes are two of the most widely used and popular types of lifting machines. Although both excel in accurately moving large loads, their unique shapes and applications are somewhat different. This article takes a deep dive into the differences between the two types of cranes to help you determine and familiarize yourself with which type is best for your industrial needs. Structural Differences between Bridge Crane and Gantry Crane. When choosing a crane, it’s crucial to understand the structural differences between bridge cranes and gantry cranes. Although both types of cranes handle or move heavy loads, their structures and support mechanisms are very different. The structural differences between bridge cranes and gantry cranes will be explained in detail next: Bridge Crane: Bridge cranes are mainly composed of main beams, end beams, lifting trolleys or electric hoists, hoisting mechanisms, and other structures. Because its two ends are located in the concrete column or metal support, the shape is like a bridge, so it is called an overhead Travelling crane.…

When To Do Overhead Crane Maintenance?

When to do overhead crane maintenance? This is a particularly important topic. Among them, the stable operation of the bridge crane is certainly important, but more important is the daily overhead crane maintenance and inspection work to ensure the safety of the operators and people around the equipment. Next, this article will help you understand what the daily overhead crane maintenance and inspection involve. If you don’t know how to maintain an overhead crane, then this article will be your ideal guide. What Is An Overhead Crane? The overhead crane is mainly composed of the main beam, end beam, lifting trolley or electric hoist, electrical system and other main structures. Because its two ends are located in the concrete column or metal support, the shape is like a bridge, so it is called an overhead Travelling crane.

Overhead Crane Working Principle

An overhead crane, also known as a overhead travelling crane. It is a type of heavy-duty material handling equipment. The bridge crane, with its unique structure, spans above the factory building, steadily and accurately undertaking tasks such as material lifting and horizontal movement. Next, this article will introduce the overhead crane working principle, as well as its definition, types, parts, and other information. This will help you better understand bridge cranes so that you can choose the right overhead travelling crane solution. How Does An Overhead Crane Work? Overhead travelling cranes complete lifting tasks through the coordinated work of various parts and operator control. The bridge supports the entire structure. The end beam running mechanism runs on tracks on either side of the plant building, enabling the crane to move longitudinally. The trolley on the main beam, driven by its drive mechanism, moves laterally, while the hoist mechanism on the trolley lifts the material vertically. Through the coordinated movement of the overhead travel mechanism’s longitudinal motion, the trolley travel mechanism’s lateral motion, and the lifting mechanism’s vertical motion, cargo is…

Different Types of Overhead Cranes: A Complete Guide

What You Need to Know Before You Choose Choosing the wrong overhead crane creates problems that show up long after installation — in downtime, maintenance costs, and operational limitations. Overhead cranes are among the most widely used lifting systems in industrial facilities worldwide. They mount horizontally above the working area and move heavy loads accurately from point A to point B across the full floor coverage of a bay. But the different types of overhead cranes serve genuinely different purposes. A unit designed for a light-duty repair workshop is not the same machine as one built for a steel mill running three shifts. This guide covers what each type is, where it works best, what it’s made of, and what it typically costs — based entirely on the actual product range available from Voitto Crane. What Is an Overhead Crane? An overhead crane is a lifting system mounted horizontally above a workshop, production line, or warehouse. It moves heavy objects stably and precisely across the full working area below. The structure consists of one or two main girders, two end…
