Overhead Bridge Cranes for Reliable, Efficient Material Handling
An overhead bridge crane is an essential piece of equipment in many manufacturing and maintenance applications. These devices consist of a trolley and a hoist mounted to a runway to transport heavy loads along a rectangular configuration within the facility.
As a leading industrial crane designer and manufacturer, Bohl Crane is a reliable source for custom bridge cranes that boost productivity and efficiency in your work environments. We've provided targeted crane and material handling system solutions for over 100 years.
Choose From Multiple Bridge Crane Styles
We offer several styles of these cranes to suit any customer's need or preference:
- Single- and double-girder: A single-girder crane includes one main beam and is better suited for lighter loads. A double-girder model has two parallel bridge beams to support the hoist for heavy-duty applications.
- Top- and under-running: Cranes with wheels that run atop the runway work well in areas with more headroom and can accommodate heavier loads. Underhung cranes have wheels suspended from the bottom of the runway, which maximizes floor space.
- Gantry: These cranes provide additional flexibility and mobility because they don't require attachment to a structure. We have motorized, double-leg and semi-gantry versions.
All our overhead bridge cranes have spans of at least 100 feet and a load capacity of 100 tons or more. Available duty cycles include CMAA Class A, B, C, D, E and F.
What Are the Benefits of Overhead Bridge Cranes?
These powerful and versatile lifting systems are an excellent choice for standard cranes in fabrication shops or steel service centers, as workstation cranes for handling automotive parts and for engineering applications like hot metal pouring and die turning. Specific benefits include:
- Efficiency: Transport heavy loads across large facilities faster and more efficiently.
- Space optimization: The crane's overhead design opens up more floor space within your facility for other projects or additional storage.
- Precise load control: You can handle and position larger loads accurately, reducing the chances of product damage during transport.
- Safety: Our equipment has numerous advanced safety features, such as overload protection and anti-collision systems, to minimize the risk of workplace accidents.
- Integration: A bridge crane integrates easily with other material handling systems and can meet future scalability requirements.
