What is Overhead Crane?

A overhead crane is a mechanical device used to lift heavy objects or transport goods. It is mainly composed of a bridge, a crane, a mobile mechanism and a control system. It uses the bridge as a supporting structure, realizes the movement of the crane through the mobile mechanism, and lifts and transports the goods through the crane.

The structure of a overhead crane includes a bridge, an electric drive mechanism, a walking mechanism and a lifting mechanism. First, the bridge is the main structure of the crane. It consists of a bridge, an end beam and a cross truss, which can bear the load and provide stable support for the operation of the crane. Secondly, the electric drive mechanism is mainly composed of an electric motor and a transmission device, and the crane is driven by electricity to move. The walking mechanism is designed with a wheel set, a transmission device and a drive mechanism, which can realize the smooth walking of the crane on the bridge. Finally, the lifting mechanism includes a lifting mechanism chassis, an electric motor and a gear transmission device, which can realize the lifting and lowering of goods.

Overhead cranes are widely used in industry, logistics, ships and other fields. In the manufacturing industry, overhead cranes are often used for lifting and handling of heavy goods, which can improve production efficiency and labor intensity. In the logistics industry, overhead cranes are important loading and unloading equipment in logistics warehouses, which can achieve efficient handling of goods and optimize the layout of warehouses. In addition, in the field of shipbuilding, overhead cranes perform ship hoisting operations on the slipway, which can improve construction efficiency and ensure the overall quality of the ship.

According to the main beam type, overhead cranes are mainly divided into single beam overhead cranes and double beam overhead cranes. According to the purpose, overhead cranes are divided into general overhead cranes, grab overhead cranes, electromagnetic overhead cranes, casting metallurgical overhead cranes and other types. overhead cranes for different purposes need to be equipped with different hoists to be suitable for various scenarios, and customers can choose according to actual needs.
