Compact Underhung Bridge Crane for Workshop Needs
Key Components of an Underhung Bridge Crane
♦Bridge Girder
The main horizontal beam that supports the hoist and trolley system. In underhung cranes, the bridge girder is suspended from the building structure or a ceiling-mounted runway, which eliminates the need for floor-supporting columns and maximizes floor space usage.
♦Trolley System
The trolley carries the hoist and allows it to move horizontally along the bridge girder. In underhung systems, the trolley is designed to travel smoothly along the bottom flange of the runway beam, ensuring precise positioning of loads.
♦Wire Rope Hoist
The hoist is the lifting mechanism attached to the trolley, which moves horizontally along the bridge girder. The hoist can be customized as electric or manual, depending on the application, and is responsible for the vertical lifting of the load.
♦Motor & Reducer
Motor and reducer allow for lighter weight and smaller dimensions, while delivering powerful power.
♦End Carriage & Wheel
These are the components that house the wheels and allow the crane to move along the runway beams. The end trucks are crucial for the stability and smooth operation of the crane.
♦Control Unit & Limiter
The control box can be customized to suit each country’s electrical environment and is equipped with electronic limits for lifting and travelling to further ensure safe operation.
Features
♦Space Optimization: By being underslung, the crane runs along the bottom flange of the runway beams, freeing up valuable headroom and floor space, making it perfect for low-ceiling environments.
♦Customizable Design: The underhung bridge crane can be tailored to meet specific operational needs, with customizable spans, lifting capacities, and speeds, ensuring it integrates seamlessly into your workflow.
♦Smooth and Precise Operation: Equipped with advanced control systems, the underhung overhead crane ensures accurate positioning and gentle handling of loads, minimizing the risk of damage to materials and equipment.
♦Durability and Reliability: Constructed from high-quality materials and components, this crane is built to withstand the rigors of heavy-duty use, ensuring long-term reliability and minimal maintenance.
♦Safety Features: Integrated safety systems, including overload protection, emergency stop functions, and fail-safe brakes, provide a secure and safe working environment.
Application
♦Manufacturing Facilities: Ideal for light to medium-duty lifting tasks on assembly lines, enabling smooth material flow across workstations.
♦Warehouses and Distribution Centers: Useful for overhead transportation of goods where floor space must be kept clear for forklifts or other equipment.
♦Maintenance and Repair Workshops: Allows for accurate handling and positioning of parts during repair or equipment servicing, especially in confined areas.
♦Automotive Industry: Helps transport components and sub-assemblies efficiently between production zones, often in tandem with workstation layouts.
♦Shipbuilding and Marine Workshops: Used in smaller-scale lifting operations within ship interiors or deck areas where larger cranes cannot access.
♦Energy and Utility Sectors: Applied in maintenance bays or equipment rooms for lifting transformers, tools, and components in limited headroom spaces.
