Overhead Cranes
Electric Hoist Cranes
Custom built electric hoist cranes for manufacturing, assembly lines, shipyards, warehousing, storage, construction and the steel and metal industries. They are supplied in single girder form, where one beam supports the hoist, and in double girder form, where two beams give more support and allow loads up to 600 tons.
Product Overview
Custom built electric hoist cranes for manufacturing, assembly lines, shipyards, warehousing, storage, construction and the steel and metal industries. They are supplied in single girder form, where one beam supports the hoist, and in double girder form, where two beams give more support and allow loads up to 600 tons. The crane is built around your lifting points, duty cycle and headroom rather than a fixed model.
Key Benefits
- Single and double girder configurations from one supplier
- Double girder version supports loads up to 600 tons
- Faster cycle times than manual handling between stations
- Built to your bay dimensions and lifting points
- Suited to high duty cycle environments such as steel and assembly work
Problems It Solves
- Manual handling of loads that are heavy enough to injure and slow enough to bottleneck
- Crane capacity limited by a single girder structure
- Cycle times that do not keep pace with the assembly line
- Stacking and storage done by forklift where a hoist would be safer
Where It Is Used
Applications And Buyers
Application Scenarios
- Lifting raw materials, machinery and factory equipment in manufacturing
- Transporting parts and components between assembly stations
- Container and marine work in shipyards
- Processing heavy inventory in warehousing
- Stacking and storing products with less manual handling
- Positioning beams, machines and materials on construction sites
- Assisting casting operations in steel mills and fabrication plants
Who It Is For
- Assembly plants moving parts between stations all shift
- Warehouses handling heavy inventory
- Shipyards and marine workshops
- Steel mills and fabrication plants
- Manufacturers replacing manual handling with a lifting system

How It Is Made And Checked
Materials Process And Quality Control
Manufacturing Process
- Structural fabrication
- Assembly
- Load testing
Quality Control
- Specification agreed in writing before production starts
- First article or sample approved against the agreed specification
- Goods inspected and photographed at the factory before loading
- Inspection report sent to you before the container sails
Customisation Options
What Can Be Varied
- Single or double girder structure
- Capacity to the heaviest planned lift
- Span and headroom to the building
- Hoist speed and control method
- Runway arrangement, top running or under slung
Compared With The Alternatives
| Double girder overhead crane | The electric hoist crane is the lighter answer for moderate loads; the full double girder crane takes over at higher capacity and duty. |
|---|---|
| Manual chain block | A chain block is cheap and slow; an electric hoist crane earns its cost where lifts repeat all shift. |
Use Guide
- Count lifts per hour before choosing single or double girder
- Measure available headroom, since it usually decides the girder arrangement
- Confirm power supply at the runway
- Plan hoist parking positions so the crane does not block a work station
Questions
Questions Buyers Ask About This Product
What is the difference between single and double girder?
A single girder has one beam supporting the hoist. A double girder has two beams, which gives more support and allows loads up to 600 tons.
Can the crane be built for an existing building?
Yes, the cranes are custom built. Send the bay dimensions, headroom and runway details.
Is it suitable for continuous assembly line use?
Yes, these cranes are used in high duty cycle environments such as shipping, steel manufacturing and large scale assembly lines.
What industries do you supply?
Manufacturing, assembly, shipyards, warehousing, storage, construction and the steel and metal industries.
How is the quotation prepared?
From capacity, span, headroom, lifts per hour and power supply. With those five figures we can quote without a site visit.
