Overhead Cranes
EOT Crane
Electric overhead travelling cranes, also called bridge cranes, that run along a fixed runway with a hoist moving horizontally and vertically along the bridge.
Product Overview
Electric overhead travelling cranes, also called bridge cranes, that run along a fixed runway with a hoist moving horizontally and vertically along the bridge. Four arrangements are built: single-girder, double-girder, top-running and under-slung. Every EOT crane meets or exceeds international safety standards including ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001, ISO 45001:2018 and CE, and the design draws on German engineering practice.
Key benefits
Why Buyers Choose This Specification
Four Certifications Not One
ISO 9001:2015 for quality, ISO 14001 for environmental management, ISO 45001:2018 for occupational health and safety, and CE. Buyers who have to satisfy a corporate audit usually need all four, not just a CE mark.
Four Arrangements From One Supplier
Single-girder, double-girder, top-running and under-slung are all built here, so the arrangement follows the building rather than the supplier's preferred product.
Suited to High Duty Cycles
The design is intended for high-duty-cycle environments such as shipping, steel and metal manufacturing and large-scale assembly lines, where a light crane would wear out.
Under-Slung Option for Difficult Buildings
Where the roof steel cannot take a top-running runway, an under-slung crane hangs from the existing structure instead, which often avoids a structural rebuild.
Application scenarios
Where It Is Used
- Shipping operations handling containers and heavy freight
- Steel and metal manufacturing plants on continuous duty
- Large-scale assembly lines transferring components
- Machine shops with a fixed runway and regular lifts
- Warehouses handling heavy unit loads
- Maintenance bays overhauling large equipment
Who it is for
The Buyers This Product Suits
Plants Under Corporate Audit
ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 together cover quality, environment and occupational safety, which is the usual audit set for lifting equipment.
High-Duty-Cycle Operations
Shipping, steel and metal manufacturing and large assembly lines run cranes continuously. The EOT range is specified for that.
Buildings With Structural Constraints
Under-slung and top-running options mean the crane can be matched to what the roof steel will actually carry.
Problems it solves
What It Fixes
Runway Steel That Will Not Take a Top-Running Crane
The under-slung arrangement hangs from the existing structure, avoiding new runway columns.
Certification Gaps at Audit
ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001, ISO 45001:2018 and CE are all held on this range.
Light Cranes on Heavy Duty Cycles
A crane specified for occasional lifting fails early in continuous service. This range is designed for high-duty-cycle environments.

How It Ships And What Comes With It
Packing And Loading
Shipping volume for this item depends on the configuration and capacity you select, so no fixed container figure is published. Confirm the specification and the destination and a loading plan is issued with the quotation, rather than a figure we cannot support.

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
Establish first whether the roof steel supports a top-running runway or requires an under-slung crane.
Step 2
Match girder arrangement to capacity and span: single-girder for lighter duty, double-girder for heavier.
Step 3
Request the ISO and CE certificates at quotation for the project quality file.
Step 4
State the duty cycle in lifts per hour, since that drives the mechanism classification.
Step 5
Include runway survey and alignment in the installation scope.
Comparison
How It Compares In Our Range
Four EOT arrangements and what each is for.
| Single-Girder EOT | One bridge beam. Lighter, cheaper, suited to moderate capacity and span. |
|---|---|
| Double-Girder EOT | Two bridge beams. Higher capacity, wider span, better hook height. |
| Top-Running | Runs on rails carried by runway beams. Standard where the structure can support a runway. |
| Under-Slung | Hangs from the underside of the roof structure. Used where a top-running runway cannot be installed. |
FAQ
EOT Crane Questions
What certifications do the cranes hold?
ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001, ISO 45001:2018 and CE. All four are supplied with the documentation package.
What is an EOT crane?
An electric overhead travelling crane, also called a bridge crane. It travels along a fixed runway with a hoist that moves horizontally and vertically along the bridge.
Which arrangement suits an existing building?
If the roof steel can carry a runway, top-running. If not, under-slung hangs from the existing structure.
Are these suitable for continuous operation?
Yes. They are designed for high-duty-cycle environments such as shipping, steel and metal manufacturing and large assembly lines.
Can the crane be customised?
Yes, EOT cranes here are custom-built to the runway, capacity and duty cycle.
What documentation comes with the crane?
Certificates, general arrangement drawings, electrical schematics and operating and maintenance instructions.

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.
