Overhead Cranes

Lifting capacities up to 250 tonnes

Optimise Efficiency and Safety with Industrial Overhead Cranes.

Overhead cranes, also known as Gantry cranes or Bridge cranes are vital for lifting and transporting heavy loads horizontally within a specific area. They consist of a parallel runway with a travelling bridge spanning the gap. The hoist which is the lifting component, travels along the bridge. Overhead cranes are commonly used in industrial environments such as manufacturing plants and warehouses to efficiently and safely transport materials. They are excellent at covering large areas and providing precise load control.

All of our single girder and double girder overhead cranes use pre-engineered components where possible which provides you with the most economical lifting solution.

Benefits of Using an Overhead Crane:

Space Optimising: Their design allows them to cover large areas, accessing most of the available space in warehouses and industrial buildings. This frees up floor space for other operations and improving workflow.

Enhanced Safety: Our cranes are designed with integrated safety systems to minimise workplace accidents.

Increased Efficiency: Overhead cranes enable fast and precise material handling, reducing loading and unloading times, reducing the time needed for material handling.

Versatility: Suitable for various applications and industries, including warehousing, construction and manufacturing.

Street overhead cranes are available in single girder or double girder construction depending on your lifting requirements.

Our Overhead Cranes

Single Girder Overhead

Single girder cranes are our most popular type of overhead crane. They provide the most cost-effective lifting solution for all capacities up to 25 tonnes and are suitable for indoor or outdoor applications. Our top running single girder solutions deliver the same levels of reliability and performance as all of our other cranes but the lower wheel loads of a single girder have lower building and structural support costs associated with them and therefore offer a more attractive price to performance ratio.

Depending on your application our single girder cranes incorporate either Street ZX electric wire rope hoists or our LX electric chain hoists at very low capacities or when an extra competitive solution is required.

Double Girder Overhead

Double girder cranes can be engineered into the roof space within a building where the maximum lifting height is a primary requirement inside a building. The crab/trolley on a double girder can also provide better side hook approaches than a single girder crane particularly where large lifting heights are specified.

Double girder cranes are available in capacities up to 80 tonnes equipped with our ZX electric wire rope hoists and up to 250 tonnes using our heavier duty VX open hoist. Our top running double girders are designed to run on either four or eight long travel wheels depending on the allowable wheel loads, and multiple trolley gauges are available to accommodate different lifting heights.
