An underhung bridge crane, also known as an underhung overhead travelling crane or under running overhead crane, is designed for buildings where no runway beams or load-bearing supports were originally prepared. This type of crane is mounted directly on the existing ceiling trusses or roof structure, making it an ideal solution for facilities that cannot support a conventional top-running system.
One of the key benefits of an underhung bridge crane is its ability to maximize floor space. Since the crane is suspended from above, the entire floor area remains available for production, workflow, and material storage. In addition, underhung cranes provide excellent side approach, allowing operators to fully utilize the width and height of the building. They are especially suitable for facilities with limited vertical clearance.
Typically built in a single girder configuration, underhung bridge cranes are best used for lighter-duty applications, with load capacities reaching up to 10 tons.

Modular Design
♦Compact Layout: The single girder underslung bridge crane features a modular design that integrates high-quality standardized components. This not only ensures consistent product performance but also shortens production timelines and simplifies transportation and installation.
♦Optimized for Tight Spaces: Designed specifically for facilities with limited space or unconventional layouts, this crane type mounts directly to existing roof structures. By eliminating the need for floor-supporting columns, it significantly reduces installation complexity, overall cost, and construction time.
♦Maximum Use of Building Width: With minimal side approach distances and customizable main girder cantilevers, the light duty bridge crane maximizes usable floor width. The hook height can be further optimized by elevating the main girder between the end carriages, ensuring efficient lifting even in low-clearance environments.
♦Strong and Durable Construction: Torsion-resistant welded box girders, along with options for I-beam or H-beam configurations, make the crane structurally robust. When paired with our NL series electric chain hoist, it delivers reliable performance for light-duty and medium-duty operations.
♦Lightweight but High Performance: Compact hoists and high-strength materials result in reduced wheel loads and lower crane weight. This enables lower building heights and lowers construction costs while still delivering excellent operational efficiency.
♦Improved Production Efficiency: Its compact structure and low-clearance design allow for a larger working area, enhancing workflow and increasing overall productivity.
With its compact structure, reduced deadweight, greater lifting height, and refined engineering, the single girder underslung bridge crane stands out as an excellent solution for modern industrial facilities.
