What is overhead bridge crane?

Overhead bridge cranes, sometimes referred to as EOT cranes or overhead traveling cranes, are a type of overhead crane that consist of two overhead runways, the crane bridge (the horizontal beam that rides along the runways), a hoist, and a trolley. A standard design will feature one or two load-bearing beams, also known as girders, that are mounted to either the top or bottom of the runway.

Features of overhead bridge crane
  1. Quality certificates--crane products are produced and developed in accordance with ISO9001 2000, ISO9001 2004 and OHSAS 18001.
  2. 3-phase asynchronous motor provideS smooth operation in intermittent, short-term, frequent starting, braking, and the motor may be tuned to variable speed as required by the customer. For hoisting, insulation class F and IP 54 protection are required.
  3. Hardened reducer wheel gear is made by carburizing and quenching high strength low carbon steel alloy, resulting in high precision, efficiency, stable running, low noise, small volume, and high bearing capacity.
  4. Breaks: Independent Hydraulic Breaks ensure that the crane is safe and easy to operate.
  5. Three types of crane control ways: pendant control, cabin control, and remote control

 

Bridge crane market for oil business in Nigeria and lifting

As everyone knows, Nigeria is one of the largest and oldest oil producers in Africa. The oil and gas sector is one of the most important sectors in the country’s economy, accounting for more than 90% of the country’s exports and 80% of the federal government’s revenue. The country produces low-sulfur content crude oil, which has a high global demand pertaining to the need for reduction in sulfur content in the products processed by the worldwide refiners. The demand for the crude oil produced in Nigeria, which has low sulfur content, is expected to rise sharply during the studied period as the global shipping industry adapts to the International Maritime Organization’s new 0.5% global bunker sulfur cap, which came into force on January 1, 2020.

 

Overhead bridge cranes are a proven solution for heavy industrial lifting applications, as they provide the safest and most efficient way possible of lifting and moving materials from one location to another. They significantly improve the workflow and manufacturing process in warehouses or facilities, especially in industries such as steel fabrication, coal handling, power, defense, railroad, automotive, and paper milling.

Lifting Requirements in oil and gas induatry

  1. Overhead Bridge Crane for Gas Purification Centers

Cranes are also used at gas purification and compression centers. They help in protecting gas containers from hazardous exposures during import and export. Cranes perform daily barrel management and movement tasks allowing facility workers to safely transport flammable gas containers.

  1. Overhead Bridge Crane for Engineered Transportation

Cranes aren’t about material handling only. They also work as a custom-curated transport medium for oil and gas industry workers. Sometimes, a rigging unit or an onshore site is so difficult to navigate that workers need heavy-duty transport systems.That’s where cranes step up. Rail-mounted cranes are often used as an employee transportation medium at oil and gas rigging facilities.

  1. High-quality Crane for Shipping Ports

There are several shipping ports that require massive and highly efficient crane equipment for loading operations. Gantry cranes are used at shipping and export facilities for putting bulky items together, loading and unloading cargo items, and moving oil barrels from one unit to another. Shipping ports and oil barrel management require various types of heavy machines to move the goods. They utilize truck-mounted, rough-terrain, crawler, and floating cranes, among more.
