Overhead Cranes
100 Ton Overhead Crane
Two 100 ton builds for heavy manufacturing, shipbuilding, aerospace, metal and mining, power generation and transport.
Product Overview
Two 100 ton builds for heavy manufacturing, shipbuilding, aerospace, metal and mining, power generation and transport. The light double beam version lifts 5 to 100 tons with a maximum span of 49 metres and a lifting height range of 30 to 40 metres, driven by a high-efficiency gearbox, motor and frequency converter for smooth, safe and stable operation. The winch version extends the same geometry to heavier and more continuous duty.
Key benefits
Why Buyers Choose This Specification
Top of the Light Build Range
One hundred tons is the ceiling of the light double beam family. Buying at the top of a proven range rather than the bottom of a heavier one usually gives the better price per ton lifted.
Stable Operation at Full Load
The frequency converter is what keeps a 100 ton load from swinging at start and stop. On aerospace and shipbuilding work that stability is the point of the crane.
Span to 49 Metres at Full Capacity
The maximum span does not reduce as capacity rises through the range, so a wide bay can still be covered at 100 tons.
Customisable to the Handling Space
Span, hook height and control are set to the building. The crane is designed around the bay rather than the bay cleared for the crane.
Application scenarios
Where It Is Used
- Shipbuilding yards lifting hull sections and machinery
- Aerospace manufacturing handling large tooling and assemblies
- Metal and mining plants moving heavy process equipment
- Power generation plants installing and servicing turbines and generators
- Transport and logistics terminals handling outsized freight
- Heavy manufacturing moving large fabricated assemblies
Who it is for
The Buyers This Product Suits
Shipyards and Heavy Fabricators
Sections at this weight need both capacity and span. The light build reaches 100 tons at up to 49 metres.
Power Generation Maintenance
Turbine and generator handling is intermittent but unforgiving. Controlled lifting speed matters more than cycle rate.
Aerospace and Large Tooling
Smooth, safe and stable operation is the stated design intent of this build, which is what large tooling handling requires.
Problems it solves
What It Fixes
Swing at 100 Tons
A swinging load at this weight is a safety event, not an inconvenience. The gearbox, motor and frequency converter combination is specified to prevent it.
Capacity Growth Beyond the Light Build
Where duty will exceed 100 tons, the winch build continues on the same geometry instead of forcing a redesign.
Bays Too Wide for Standard Cranes
Up to 49 metres of span is available at this capacity, which covers most single-bay heavy industrial buildings.

Sourcing And Inspection
This product is supplied through TrueGlow Imaging, working with manufacturing partners whose facilities are visited and verified rather than taken on trust. In-process quality control and delivery supervision are available so goods are inspected before the container is sealed. Certifications quoted on this page are those stated on the product specification and belong to that product range rather than to our trading entity, so ask for the certificate covering your specific item.
Handling guide
Getting It Right First Time
Step 1
Confirm the runway can carry a 100 ton crane before anything else is specified.
Step 2
Send span, clear height and the heaviest single item to be lifted.
Step 3
Say whether the duty is intermittent maintenance lifting or continuous production handling.
Step 4
Choose the control format, noting that cab control is common at this capacity.
Step 5
Plan a full load test and operator training into the commissioning schedule.
Comparison
How It Compares In Our Range
Both reach 100 tons. Duty decides which.
| 100 Ton Light Double Beam | Cost-effective build for construction and heavy-lifting projects, 5 to 100 tons, maximum span 49 m, lifting height 30 to 40 m. |
|---|---|
| 100 Ton Winch Double Beam | Heavier drive for continuous duty and horizontal pulling, customisable within the wider winch range on the same span and height envelope. |
FAQ
100 Ton Overhead Crane Questions
Is 100 tons the maximum for the light build?
Yes. The light double beam family is rated 5 to 100 tons. Above that, the winch build takes over.
Does span reduce at maximum capacity?
The maximum span for this build is 49 metres, and the lifting height range is 30 to 40 metres.
What keeps the load stable?
A high-efficiency gearbox, motor and frequency converter, which ramp the hoist rather than switching it.
Which industries is it built for?
Construction, heavy manufacturing, shipbuilding, aerospace, metal and mining, power generation, and transport and logistics.
Can the crane be customised?
Yes, the build is customised to the heavy load-handling space, including span, hook height and control format.
What documentation is provided?
Crane drawings, electrical schematics, operating and maintenance instructions, and test records at commissioning.

Guides That Cover This Product
Choosing an Overhead Crane Light Build or Winch Build
Most crane enquiries name a tonnage. The two questions that actually decide the crane are whether the hook pulls as well as lifts, and how many lifts it makes per shift.
Choosing a Jib Crane Mounting for Your Building
Six mounting types exist because the building constrains the crane more often than the load does. Wall, column, free-standing, articulating, mast and portable each solve a different constraint.
