| Many models
of overhead crane exist, all offering unique advantages according
to the application. The single girder
over slung (top running) overhead crane, as
illustrated below, is possibly one of the
most popular. Also available are double girder overhead cranes and
under slung overhead cranes.
Electrically motor
driven end carriages and hoists provide
effortless accuracy when lifting and positioning
heavy components and plant in machine shops,
factories, warehouses, loading bays etc.
Multi-functional controls are usually housed in a
single control box. Operation control can be via
a suspended pendant, as illustrated,
alternatively a static pendant,
remote or automatic controls can be fitted.
There
are a number of safety devices i.e. limit
switches, warning lights, horns and
anti-collision units, available to guarantee
operator and pedestrian safety.
Heavy duty rail
mounted floor travelling Goliath and Semi-Goliath
cranes provide high capacity lifts over long
distances, often found in heavy engineering or
shipping environments.
