Overhead Cranes
20 Ton Overhead Crane Solution
Three 20 ton builds for indoor bays and outdoor yards.
Product Overview
Three 20 ton builds for indoor bays and outdoor yards. The light 20 ton overhead crane handles general industrial lifting with a gearbox, motor and frequency converter for controlled load movement, spanning up to 49 metres with 30 to 40 metres of hook height. The winch build is for plants that lift and pull frequently and can be specified anywhere from 5 to 360 tons. The gantry version puts the same duty over an outdoor warehouse, railroad or construction site.
Key benefits
Why Buyers Choose This Specification
Indoor and Outdoor Covered by One Enquiry
Rather than quoting a crane and then discovering the lift happens in the yard, the overhead and gantry options are priced against the same duty so the site decides the build.
Smooth Precise Load Control
The gearbox, motor and frequency converter combination is fitted so a 20 ton load can be inched into position rather than dropped onto it. That matters most on machine installation and die changes.
Customisable Well Beyond 20 Tons
The winch build is customisable from 5 up to 360 tons on the same design family, so a plant expecting heavier work later is not buying a dead end.
Full Span and Height Range
Up to 49 metres of span and 30 to 40 metres of indoor lifting height covers almost any single-bay industrial building without a special design.
Application scenarios
Where It Is Used
- Outdoor warehouse handling where no overhead runway exists
- Railroad yards moving rolling stock components and track material
- Construction sites lifting and positioning heavy sections
- Mining sites lifting heavy machinery, equipment and materials
- Light industrial production bays with regular 20 ton lifts
- Frequent lifting and pulling duty in heavy manufacturing
Who it is for
The Buyers This Product Suits
Plants Lifting and Pulling
If the hook regularly drags as well as lifts, the winch 20 ton build is the one designed for it. The light build is not.
Outdoor Warehouses and Yards
A 20 ton gantry crane puts the capacity over stock stored outdoors without any building steel.
Light Construction and Industrial Sites
The light overhead build is specified for a wide range of heavy lifting on sites where the crane is not running continuously.
Problems it solves
What It Fixes
Positioning Accuracy on Machine Installation
Setting a machine bed needs millimetre control at the end of a 20 ton lift. Frequency converter drive gives the slow end of the speed range to do it.
No Building to Hang a Crane From
Outdoor warehouses, railroads and construction sites have no runway. The gantry build carries the same duty on its own legs.
A Crane Sized for Today Only
Specifying inside a family that runs to 360 tons means the next capacity step is a design change, not a replacement.

Handling guide
Getting It Right First Time
Step 1
Decide indoors or outdoors first: that selects overhead or gantry before any other question.
Step 2
Send span and clear height, since 49 metres of span and 30 to 40 metres of lift are the working limits.
Step 3
Count lifts per shift and note whether loads are pulled horizontally, to separate light from winch duty.
Step 4
Confirm the control format, as wireless, cab and handheld are all offered.
Step 5
Check the foundation or rail can take gantry wheel loads if the outdoor option is chosen.

FAQ
20 Ton Overhead Crane Solution Questions
What is the difference between the light and winch versions?
The winch build is specified where the crane lifts and pulls frequently. The light build is for regular lifting only and costs less.
Can the gantry be used indoors?
It can, but it takes floor space that an overhead crane does not. If the building has or can take a runway, the overhead build is usually the better answer.
How high will it lift indoors?
30 to 40 metres, subject to the clear height of your building.
Can you go above 20 tons later?
Yes. The winch build is customisable from 5 to 360 tons within the same design family.
What controls are supplied?
Wireless remote, cab control or handheld pendant. State which before the electrical design is finalised.
How long does installation take?
It depends on the span and whether the runway exists. Send your building or yard drawing on WhatsApp and installation is quoted with the crane.

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.
