What is an Overhead Crane: An Overview

Overhead crane or bridge crane – are two names for the same crane system. Their electrified version (EOT) is more prevalent. An Electric Overhead Travelling (EOT) Crane system features a giant bridge that spans the width of the facility. It is supported by end trucks that guide the bridge crane over parallel runways. 

The bridge can feature a single girder or double girder based on the load needs. The bridge also carries a trolley, which traverses back and forth across the bridge’s length. Attached to the trolley is an electric hoist equipped with a hook capable of lifting and relocating heavy loads with precision. The entire bridge assembly can also move across the facility through runways.

How Do I Choose an Overhead Crane?

Want to get an overhead but don’t what would suit your needs? Here are three things to check before buying:

Weight to be Lifted

Identify the maximum weight of the loads you plan to lift. Select a crane that matches or exceeds this capacity for optimal safety and performance.

Lift Height

Consider the maximum height your load needs to be lifted. Choose an overhead crane that can reach this height while considering the workspace layout and environmental conditions (wind flow and pressure).

Span 

Figure out the maximum horizontal distance over which the load needs to be moved. Opt for a crane with a span to cover this distance efficiently.

KRC Single Girder Overhead Crane

A single girder system has just one beam forming the bridge among end trucks. Such a crane is used when the load requirement is moderate. KRC single overhead cranes can support up to 16 tons. 

KRC Double Girder Overhead Cranes

Double Girder cranes have two beams that form the overhead bridge. This adds strength to the structure, making it capable of handling much higher loads. 

KRC has further classified these cranes into two types based on the load, the crane can handle:

Light Double Girder Bridge Crane

KRC light double girder bridge cranes satisfy the needs of most industries. They can handle loads up to 100 tons.   

Winch Double Girder Bridge Crane

KRC double girder bridge cranes are the most heavy-duty overhead cranes on the market. They can support up to 600 tons.

Safety Features in KRC Bridge Cranes

KRC is a top EOT crane manufacturer that provides quality equipment with safety as a priority. Salient safety features of KRC cranes: 

Advanced anti-derailment

This keeps the trolley or bridge firmly on track. It makes sure everything on the crane stays stable and everything goes during movement.

Independent pendant control

The machines are controllable from a distance via remote. This means you can stay clear of heavy loads, which minimizes the risk of accidents.

High-flexibility power supply

Our systems can accommodate different power sources and configurations. So, the crane can run smoothly without power hiccups.

Warehousing

They move bulky goods and palletized cargo, especially in high-stack storage environments.

Construction

Transport precast concrete products and other heavy materials around the production facility.

FAQs

What is the maximum capacity of overhead cranes?

The maximum capacity of overhead cranes depends on their design and configuration. Single-girder cranes generally support lighter loads than double-girder cranes. KRC’s single girder models can handle up to 16 tons. Whereas, our double girder overhead EOT cranes are capable of managing up to 600 tons.

What are the types of EOT cranes?

EOT cranes come in two primary designs, based on their bridge girder configuration. Single girder cranes feature a single bridge beam and are best suited for lighter loads and shorter span tasks. Double girder cranes, with two bridge beams, are ideal for handling heavier loads and provide greater span and height.
