Parts of An Overhead Crane: Cubicle Row

Overhead cranes lift and lower loads using a hoist attached to a trolley that moves along a bridge, which then moves along a runway. There are four main types of overhead cranes: top running, under running, single girder, and double girder. A single girder crane has the hoist ride below the girder, while a double girder crane allows greater hook height with the hoist mounted above the bridge.

OVERHEAD CRANE
CUBICLE ROW

Cranes lift and lower loads with a hoist that is attached to a trolley. The trolley moves back
and forth along a bridge. The bridge moves along a runway. Some cranes – such as a jib
crane – don’t have a bridge but still have a hoist attached to a trolley and can move a load in a
horizontal direction. FESTOON
A bridge crane is defined as a crane, fixed or able to move along track(s) having at least one
HOIST
primarily horizontal girder and equipped with at least one hoisting mechanism. There are four
main types of overheads cranes - top running, under running, single girder and double girder.

TYPES OF OVERHEAD CRANES


Single girder - the hoist always rides the Double girder - typically allow greater hook height than
bottom of the crane girder in both top-running single-girder designs, as the hoist can be mounted on
and underhung configurations top of the bridge rather than underneath
