Overhead crane also called bridge crane and electric travelling crane ( EOT crane) which is a kind of heavy crane for material handling. The overhead crane mainly consisted the crane runways, an electric hoist or trolley to lift loads up and down and the bridge that connects the runways and moves the electric hoist or trolley forward and backward. Overhead cranes are used widely in various industries, such as mining, steel, automotive, aviation, aerospace, marine, rail road, and utility, use overhead cranes for their manufacturing and maintenance operation.
Overhead Crane Configuration

1. Single girder overhead crane . 2. Double girder overhead crane.
2. Single girder under running overhead crane. 4. Double girder under running overhead crane
5. Box girder top running overhead crane
Overhead crane can be classified into top running overhead crane and underhung overhead crane.
Top Running Overhead Cranes
Single girder overhead crane which has the benefits of low deadweight, more overhead space, high speed, low production cost, low price whereas double girder overhead crane has the benefits of better hook height, mores overhead space, more lift, high speed.
Underhung Overhead Cranes
Underhung overhead cranes also called under running bridge cranes allow you to maximize your facility’s floor space for production and storage because they are supported from the ceiling trusses or the roof structure. Like top running overhead cranes, underhung overhead cranes can be designed in single-girder or double-girder configurations. However, underhung overhead cranes are ideal for moving lighter loads generally, so the double-girder configurations are typically used to move only loads of maximum capacity, which is around 10 tons.
