Overhead (Bridge) Crane

Overhead (Bridge) Crane Solutions for Manufacturers

Our overhead lifting systems are engineered for safe, efficient, and intelligent handling in demanding workshops and production lines. Drawing on German-derived design concepts and advanced manufacturing, these cranes offer low self-weight, compact headroom, dependable uptime, and smooth performance.

We configure electric overhead traveling systems to match your required capacity, span, duty class, and environment.

What These Cranes Do

A bridge travels on runways along the building while a trolley-hoist moves loads across the bay. Available as single or double girder, top-running or underslung, the equipment saves floor space, improves workflow, and supports repeatable, safe handling.

Types and Configurations

Choose a layout that balances headroom, capacity, span, and cost. The modular platform covers single and double girder designs, top-running and under-running options, low headroom variants, and solutions for hazardous zones.

Single Girder

Light to medium duty with reduced building load and energy use, while maintaining smooth handling and precise positioning.

Top-Running

Maximize hook coverage on existing runways and gain higher lift in compact bays with VFD-controlled drives.

Under-Running (Underslung)

Suspended from the runway for limited headroom and multi-bay layouts with space-saving geometry.

Double Girder

Suited to higher capacities, longer spans, and heavier duty cycles. True lift height is achieved with the trolley between the girders, with options for auxiliary hoists or walkways.

Top-Running

Delivers strength and stability for process handling and precise positioning at higher FEM/ISO duty classes.

Low Headroom

Short approach dimensions and extended hook travel fit facilities with constrained building heights.

Explosion-proof Models for Hazardous Areas

For food processing, chemical, petrochemical, and oil & gas facilities, certified components support compliant operation in hazardous zones. NWHEX explosion-proof electric hoists integrate reliably with the system.

Core Features

Light Weight and Low Headroom

Optimized steel profiles and trolley geometry reduce self-weight and building load. Compact layouts maximize lifting height and workspace.

Safety and Reliability

Redundant safety devices, overload protection, long-life components, and strict quality control support consistent uptime and safe use.

Efficient Drives and Control

VFD drives, precise braking, and ergonomic pendant or radio controls enable smooth acceleration, accurate positioning, and energy efficiency.

Intelligent Functions and Monitoring

Anti-sway, soft-start, synchronized travel, and condition monitoring reduce cycle time and enable data-driven maintenance.

Specifications and Options

Capacity, Span, Lifting Height, Duty Class

Systems are configured from light to heavy duty with custom spans and lift heights, aligned to FEM/ISO duty classes that match process intensity and cycle frequency.

Hoists, Trolleys, End Carriages, Controls

Select electric chain or wire rope hoists, compact trolleys, robust end carriages, and pendant or radio controls for your load and precision needs.

Power Supply and Environment

Choose conductor bars or festoons, outdoor weatherproofing, corrosion protection, and heat-resistant packages suited to local conditions.

Standards and Certifications

Design and manufacturing follow strict quality management. Environmental management, accuracy, and explosion-proof type test certificates are available where applicable.

Applications by Industry

Automotive, Equipment, Construction Machinery

Support stamping, machining, assembly, tooling changeovers, and line maintenance with compact approaches and precise handling.

Logistics, Warehousing, Paper & Pulp

Speed load transfer, roll handling, and storage movements while reducing aisle congestion and increasing throughput.

Energy, Metallurgy, Shipbuilding

Handle heavy components, molds, and fabricated structures with double girder systems configured for harsh environments.

Defense and Special Projects

Customized controls, monitoring, and redundancy features support mission-critical lifting and strict documentation needs.

Components and Lifecycle Support

Electric Hoists and NWHEX

Integrate standard electric hoists or NWHEX explosion-proof hoists to match duty and environment.

Components and Spare Parts

End carriages, gearboxes, wheels, brakes, electrification, and controls are available for new builds and retrofits to speed maintenance and upgrades.

Digital Showroom and Quality Assurance

A digital showroom demonstrates manufacturing capability, process control, and testing practices that underpin consistent quality.

Project Delivery

Consultation and Custom Engineering

Layouts, runway interfaces, and control schemes are tailored to building constraints and production flow to lower total ownership cost.

Installation, Commissioning, Training

Professional installation and commissioning support a safe start-up. Operator and maintenance training help reduce downtime.

Maintenance, Upgrades, Retrofit

Planned inspections and modernization packages extend service life and enhance performance.

FAQs on Selection

Q: How do I choose single vs double girder?
A: Use single girder for lighter loads and cost efficiency. Choose double girder for higher capacities, longer spans, and true lift height.


Q: What is the difference between top-running and under-running?
A: Top-running maximizes height and capacity. Under-running offers compact geometry and multi-bay flexibility.


Q: How do I size capacity and duty class?
A: Match capacity to the heaviest load with margin. Select duty class by cycle frequency and operating time per FEM/ISO.


Q: Can anti-sway and remote monitoring be integrated?
A: Yes. Anti-sway, synchronization, and condition monitoring can increase productivity and support planned maintenance.


Q: Are explosion-proof cranes available?
A: Yes. Certified components and NWHEX hoists are available for hazardous zones in food, chemical, petrochemical, and oil & gas.
