1. Bridge Crane: The bridge is built as a single or double, beam or box girder which traverses and down the runway. Below lists the advantages of each configuration.
2. Hoist and Trolley: The hoist lifts your load up and down while it traverses across the bridge. More details are provided under the hoist section of this site.
3. Runway: Designed as either freestanding or tied to the building structure, the runway layout determines the area your crane can service. This is an important element with engineering considerations.
The needed crane capacity and area your crane needs to span are the primary consideration when determining if your crane will be built as a beam crane or a box girder crane. These are the advantages of each type.
Advantages of a Single Girder Design:
Advantages of a Double Girder Design:
Always examine the load chain for damage or twists, or the wire rope for kinks or fraying. This will prevent problems in your hoist lifting operations.
Don’t overload your crane and take precautions to ensure your load is secure. According to OSHA, 80% of crane accidents occur when an operator exceeds the crane’s operational capacity.
