Overhead Cranes
40 Ton Overhead Crane
Forty ton overhead cranes, winch cranes and gantry cranes for construction, outdoor warehouse and railroad work.
Product Overview
Forty ton overhead cranes, winch cranes and gantry cranes for construction, outdoor warehouse and railroad work. The three builds differ in lifting capacity range, span and lifting speed rather than in control philosophy: light overhead 5 to 100 tons at 0.4-16 m/min, winch overhead 5 to 360 tons at 0.4-20 m/min, and a gantry to 320 tons over spans up to 50 metres. Hook height is 30 or 40 metres on the overhead builds.
Key benefits
Why Buyers Choose This Specification
Reference Specifications Published Per Build
Capacity range, maximum span, maximum lifting height, lifting speed, control options and applications are listed for each of the three builds, so a 40 ton enquiry can be compared line by line.
Span to 49 Metres on the Overhead Builds
At 40 tons the girder design is the cost driver. Being able to cut anywhere inside 0 to 49 metres avoids paying for an oversized standard span.
Gantry Reach for Railroad and Yard Work
Railroad and outdoor projects are named applications. The gantry build spans to 50 metres and lifts to 40 metres without any runway.
Same Control Set Across All Three
Wireless remote, cab control and handheld on every build keeps operator training and spare controllers common across a mixed fleet.
Application scenarios
Where It Is Used
- Construction projects lifting heavy sections into place
- Outdoor warehouse operations handling stored heavy goods
- Railroad projects handling track and rolling stock components
- Manufacturing plants moving large assemblies between stations
- Heavy-duty hoisting where the crane runs most of the shift
- Light industrial lifting duty inside an existing bay
Who it is for
The Buyers This Product Suits
Railroad and Outdoor Projects
The 40 ton range is described specifically for construction, outdoor warehouse and railroad projects, which is where the gantry build belongs.
Heavy Manufacturing
A winch build rated to 360 tons carries a 40 ton nominal duty comfortably and suits continuous hoisting.
Buyers Comparing Capacity Against Span
Different lifting capacities, spans and lifting heights are offered against the same 40 ton duty so the trade-off is visible in the quotation.
Problems it solves
What It Fixes
Paying for Span You Do Not Have
Standard span steps force you up to the next size. Cutting anywhere in 0 to 49 metres removes that.
Runway Steel That Cannot Take 40 Tons
Where existing building steel is the limit, the gantry build carries the load on its own structure instead.
Mixed Fleets With Mixed Controls
Three control formats offered on every build means a new crane can be matched to the ones already on site.

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
Send the project type first, because construction, outdoor warehouse and railroad each point to a different build.
Step 2
Give span and required hook height, remembering the overhead builds lift 30 or 40 metres.
Step 3
State duty cycle to separate light from winch specification.
Step 4
Match the control format to your existing cranes if you already run a fleet.
Step 5
Confirm the runway or track condition before installation is scheduled.

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.
