Design Details
Something unique to underhung bridge cranes is their ability to be used in applications where the transfer of a loaded hoist and trolley from one beam to another beam is necessary. This can be accomplished through available transfer switches. With the use of these switches, ceiling mounted workstation bridge cranes can be utilized to transfer a load from one bridge to another bridge (from bay to bay), from a bridge to a single spur or to multiple monorail spurs and to transfer an unloaded hoist to a Hospital spur where it can be worked on and maintained with out interfering with critical plant operations. If two hospital spurs are used one can support a maintained hoist while the other can be empty ready to accept an ailing hoisting unit. This use of hospital spurs is a great way to keep a plant “in production”. Click here for more information.
These overhead bridge cranes are ruggedly designed CMAA class C duty units (lighter and heaver duty cranes are available) see CMAA crane classification information to determine which class crane best fits your needs.
Motorized bridge cranes commonly utilize electric chain hoists, underhung wire rope hoists, air hoists or balancers. All motorized overhead bridge cranes include either a tag line or c-track festoon system. Additional festoon systems are available when power or air supply is required for below hook devices.
