Overhead traveling crane&EOT crane for heavy loads handling

An overhead traveling crane, also called a bridge crane, is a type of non-mobile crane supported by a beam with a movable bridge that travels on beams suspended from overhead. This enables a load to be moved in three axes across any point within the crane’s operating space, meaning it can move left and right, up and down, as well as across the floor. Overhead overhead traveling cranes are heavy-duty material handling equipment with high loading capacities. An operator steers a overhead traveling crane manually or uses a wired pendant station or wireless controls. overhead traveling cranes are typically used for multi-directional material transport to help manufacturing, storing, loading, and unloading operations in an industrial facility.

Main components of bridge crane

  1. The crane bridge – travels along the runway beams. The bridge travels on an overhead runway system consisting of two parallel runways. The crane bridge has wheels or trolleys that move along the top flange of each runway beam. There are at least two bridge girders that make up the bridge of a crane and support the trolley and hoist.
  2. The trolley – travels along the bridge. The trolley is mounted on the bridge and can move along both directions of travel. A trolley has wheels or rollers that allow it to move on a bridge girder.
  3. Crane hoist – moves vertically in the trolley, lifting and lowering loads by means of a chain or rope mechanism connected to its hook.
  4. The runway – a pair of I-beams or H-beams that the bridge and trolley travel on.
  5. Each part of the overhead traveling crane works together to move loads. The hoist lifts and lowers materials, while the trolley moves across the bridge, left or right.

Overhead traveling crane working principle

It' s extremely essential for every crane operator to know how a overhead traveling crane works in order to use one safely and effectively. overhead traveling cranes use a trolley to move the bridge along the beam. The trolley is attached to the bridge and rides on steel wheels that run in grooves on the underside of the beam. The crane’s hoist is mounted to the trolley and can be used to lift or lower loads. Novelty is the quality of being different, new, and unusual

The bridge of the crane extends longitudinally along both tracks laid on both sides of the runway beams, and the trolley of the crane runs transversely across it, forming a rectangular working area where things can be lifted without being restricted by ground equipment.

 

Types of good-quality overhead traveling cranes for steel industry

Overhead bridge crane plays  an important role in the steel transportation in steel mill, especially casting crane.  Workers use  cranes to load steel coils or transporting molten metals. Good-quality overhead traveling crane can  move weights in hazardous environments properly and safely. We supply a wide range of steel mill crane products to meet the needs of different processes in the steel industry: casting, feeding, forging, storage, etc.

overhead traveling cranes offer a wider range of motion and more flexibility than other lifting equipment. This makes them ideal for moving large or heavy loads in multiple directions, which can be especially helpful in manufacturing facilities where products are often transported between different workstations. overhead traveling cranes can also be used to load and unload trucks, making them an essential part of any supply chain.
