Overhead Cranes
Overhead cranes are bridge cranes that can be used indoors as well as outdoors. A typical overhead crane has multiple girders that run parallel to each other. One of these girders, the “bridge,” runs between the others and actually rolls along them using wheels. The bridge girder also holds a carriage that, in turn, has an attachment that hangs from it by pulleys.
A good overhead crane is able to move huge loads of material thanks to its sturdy design. The overhead crane is an adaptation of the popular bridge crane, which simply has a bridge supported by vertical bars that move along tracks.
One advantage that overhead cranes have over other bridge cranes is that you don't have to install a fixed runway. However, you'll still enjoy great power and reliability with a overhead crane. If you need to have long runways, overhead cranes are probably your most cost-effective option. Since they are resistant to adverse weather, you can use overhead cranes both indoors and outdoors.
NAI Cranes is a large seller of overhead cranes. The overhead crane models that NAI manufactures are usually raised over the floor by support legs that they mount on gantry end trucks. You can move overhead cranes easily, and they can be trackless so that you get direct access to your factory floor. A trackless overhead crane saves you money because you don't have to pay for a whole length of rail as well as the installation cost of that length.
The overhead crane is becoming more popular, especially in North America , because of its cost effectiveness. The longer your span is (and you can have one that is hundreds of feet long), the more reasonable it is to look for an overhead crane. You can get overhead cranes that carry loads ranging from 500 pounds to 100 tons!
