Overhead Cranes
Optimise Efficiency and Safety with Industrial Overhead Cranes.
Overhead cranes, also known as bridge cranes, are essential for lifting and transporting heavy loads horizontally within a defined working area. They consist of parallel runways supporting a travelling bridge, with a hoist that moves along the bridge to lift and position loads. Widely used in manufacturing plants, warehouses and other industrial environments, overhead cranes provide efficient material handling, extensive working area coverage and precise load control.
Where the building structure cannot support the loads imposed by an overhead crane runway, a gantry crane can provide an effective alternative. Supported by its own leg structure, a gantry crane delivers flexible lifting coverage without relying on the building frame for full crane support.
With 80 years of British engineering expertise, Street Crane designs and manufactures overhead lifting solutions at our UK facility, supported by BSI ISO 9001-certified quality management systems. Our single girder and double girder overhead cranes incorporate proven, pre-engineered components wherever practical, combining dependable performance with cost-effective design, straightforward maintenance and long-term value.
Benefits of Using an Overhead Crane:
Street overhead cranes are designed and constructed to match 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.
