Overhead Cranes
EOT Crane
An electric overhead travelling crane, also known as a bridge crane, running along a fixed runway with a hoist that moves horizontally along the bridge and vertically at the hook. EOT cranes are supplied in single girder and double girder forms and in top running and under slung arrangements, and are used in high duty cycle environments such as shipping, steel and metal manufacturing and large scale assembly lines.
- ISO 9001:2015
- ISO 14001
Product Overview
An electric overhead travelling crane, also known as a bridge crane, running along a fixed runway with a hoist that moves horizontally along the bridge and vertically at the hook. EOT cranes are supplied in single girder and double girder forms and in top running and under slung arrangements, and are used in high duty cycle environments such as shipping, steel and metal manufacturing and large scale assembly lines.
Key Benefits
- Four configurations cover almost any bay: single or double girder, top running or under slung
- Suited to high duty cycle work rather than occasional lifting
- Under slung option where the building columns cannot carry a runway
- Stated compliance with ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001, ISO 45001:2018 and CE
- Custom built rather than selected from a fixed model list
Problems It Solves
- Buildings whose columns cannot support a top running runway, which the under slung arrangement solves
- Cranes specified for occasional duty then used continuously
- Procurement that requires documented certification before a crane is approved
- Mixed lifting equipment with no common safety standard
Where It Is Used
Applications And Buyers
Application Scenarios
- Shipping and container handling areas
- Steel and metal manufacturing plants
- Large scale assembly lines
- General production bays with continuous lifting
Who It Is For
- Plants running lifting cycles through the whole shift
- Steel and metal producers
- Assembly operations with fixed load paths
- Buyers who need documented management system certification

Customisation Options
What Can Be Varied
- Single or double girder to suit capacity and headroom
- Top running or under slung to suit the building
- Span and lifting height to the runway
- Control method and operator position
- Duty classification to the real lifting cycle
Compared With The Alternatives
| Under slung versus top running | Under slung hangs from the roof structure and saves the cost of a runway on columns; top running carries more load and gives better hook coverage. |
|---|---|
| Jib crane | A jib crane covers a circle around one point; an EOT crane covers the whole rectangle of the bay. |
Use Guide
- Establish whether the roof structure can carry an under slung crane before choosing the arrangement
- Give the real duty cycle so the classification is right
- Confirm rail type and condition on an existing runway
- Keep certification documents with the plant safety file
Questions
Questions Buyers Ask About This Product
What does EOT stand for?
Electric overhead travelling. It is the same machine as a bridge crane: a bridge on a fixed runway with a hoist that traverses it.
Which types are available?
Single girder, double girder, top running and under slung.
What certifications apply?
ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001, ISO 45001:2018 and CE are stated for these cranes.
Is an EOT crane suitable for heavy continuous use?
Yes. These cranes are designed for high duty cycle environments such as shipping, steel manufacturing and large assembly lines.
Can it be fitted to an existing building?
Often yes, using an under slung arrangement where the columns cannot carry a runway. Send building drawings or photographs and we will advise.
