Bridge Crane

The single-girder bridge crane is the ideal solution for small to medium load capacities. Its compact design requires little space and can be easily integrated into existing halls. It is particularly suitable for in-house material handling and offers an excellent balance between performance and cost-effectiveness – ideal for manufacturing, assembly and warehousing.

Suspension Crane

Suspension cranes are mounted directly to the hall ceiling or steel structures and require no supporting columns of their own. They are particularly suitable for production areas with limited space or when the entire floor area should remain clear. Thanks to flexible travel paths and low overall height, suspension cranes enable efficient material handling – even in confined or narrow halls.

Bridge Crane on Portal

A bridge crane on a portal structure combines the advantages of a classic bridge crane with the flexibility of a free-standing gantry. It requires no existing building structure and can be used both indoors and outdoors. This solution is particularly suitable for large yards, storage areas or production sites where a crane runway cannot be installed – robust, mobile and powerful.

Double-Girder Bridge Crane

The double-girder bridge crane is the ideal solution for heavy loads and wide hall areas. Thanks to its robust double-girder design, it allows the use of larger hoists and ensures excellent running smoothness. It is perfectly suited for heavy industrial applications where reliability, precision and high load capacity are essential.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Choosing Cranes for Production Halls

A bridge crane is typically a free-standing system that runs on its own rails installed along the side walls of a production hall. This design allows for high load capacity and extensive mobility within the hall. An overhead crane, on the other hand, is mounted directly to the hall’s ceiling structure and is particularly suitable for facilities with limited space or where maximum floor clearance is required.

Several factors must be considered when selecting the right crane type, including maximum load capacity, required span, hall height, type of loads to be lifted, and frequency of crane use. Equally important are the architectural limitations of your facility and any future expansion plans for your production capacities.

The structural design of your production hall is crucial for selecting the crane type. Overhead cranes require a robust ceiling structure that can support the additional weight of the crane and the load. Bridge cranes, on the other hand, require a hall with sufficient side span and a solid foundation structure to safely support the rails.

Bridge cranes offer higher load capacity and greater flexibility in handling large or heavy loads, but they may take up more space in the hall and require special installation. Overhead cranes are usually more cost-effective to install, require less space, and can cover the entire hall, but they do not provide the same load capacity as bridge cranes.

Regardless of the crane type, regular maintenance is essential to ensure safety and functionality. This includes routine inspections, lubrication of moving parts, checking electrical and control systems, and testing load capacity. A well-planned maintenance schedule reduces downtime and increases the crane’s service life.
