Factory
overhead cranes (Industrial
overhead crane) are widely used lifting equipment in industrial plants, production workshops, warehouses, steel processing centers, and machinery manufacturing workshops. They are primarily used for material handling, equipment installation, production support, and warehousing operations. The equipment runs along tracks on both sides of the factory building, making full use of factory space and achieving efficient and safe material handling.
Weihua factory bridge cranes include two main series: single-girder bridge cranes and double-girder bridge cranes, with lifting capacities ranging from 1 ton to 500 tons. Custom designs can be provided according to customer requirements to meet the needs of different industrial sectors.
Based on the main beam structure and application, factory bridge cranes are mainly divided into the following categories:
| Crane type |
Features |
Applicable |
Lifting capacity |
| Single girder bridge crane |
Lightweight crane, low headroom, light weight, low wheel pressure, and relatively economical construction cost. |
Suitable for light and medium-level work in machining, light textile industry, warehouses, and material yards. |
1 - 32 tons |
| Double girder bridge crane |
With a stable structure and strong load-bearing capacity, it can handle high-intensity and heavy-duty lifting tasks. |
Scenarios requiring frequent lifting of large or heavy objects, such as heavy machinery manufacturing, metallurgy, and ports. |
5 - 800 tons |
| Electromagnetic bridge crane |
Equipped with an electromagnetic chuck, the adsorption and release of magnetic materials are controlled by switching on and off the current. |
Metallurgical plants, machine shops, warehouses, etc., used for handling magnetic materials such as steel, iron filings, and scrap steel. |
5 - 50 tons |
| Explosion-proof bridge crane |
Special explosion-proof measures are taken for motors and electrical components to prevent the generation of sparks. |
Chemical plants, gas stations, and other hazardous environments containing flammable or explosive gases or dust. |
5 - 32 tons |
| Metallurgical bridge crane |
Used in specific processes (such as casting, clamping, ingot removal, feeding, etc.), frequently used, and requiring high operational levels. |
High-temperature operations in steel smelting workshops, such as hoisting molten iron and steel, clamping and demolding steel ingots. |
