Overhead Crane Applications and Help

Determining which Style of Overhead Crane you need comes down to two questions:

1. What Capacity is required?

2. What's more important, hook height or hook coverage?

The following are some limitations to Top Running Single & Double Girder Cranes:

• Side Approach - Due to the location of the runway beams, side approach is reduced

• Runway Rail - There is an additional cost for the Rail & Installation

Following are some Limitations to Under Running Single Girder Cranes:

• Hook Height - Due to Location of the runway beams, Hook Height is reduced

• Roof Load - The load being applied to the roof is greater than that of a top running crane

• Lower Flange Loading - If you don't size the runway beams properly, you can "peel" the flanges off the beam
