GH Top Running Electric Hoists
GH Top Running Electric Hoists can be configured to fit multiple top running crane configurations. Top running crane configurations are advantageous for long bridge spans, offering greater hook height and headroom for lifts. These cranes feature a fixed rail or track system atop each runway beam, allowing the bridge and hoist to move along. They can be single or double girder designs, typically utilizing a top-running trolley and hoist. Top-running cranes have versatile capacities, ranging from small to extremely heavy loads, supported by building structures or runway columns. A top-running crane allows the greatest lifting height, as the hoist rides on top of the runway beam, providing increased lifting height.
Single Girder Overhead Crane: The most popular for its simplicity and cost-effectiveness. Involves a single bridge traveling along adjacent runways, with the hoist moving horizontally. Offers maximum facility coverage, a load capacity of up to 20 tons, and quick setup at a relatively low cost.
Double Girder Overhead Crane: Ideal for heavy-duty lifting. Features two parallel bridges traveling along adjacent runways, with the trolley and hoist moving above the bridge for maximum hook height. Recommended for applications exceeding 20 tons or special lift height requirements. While setup costs may be higher, the double girder crane proves to be a valuable long-term investment in efficiency and cost savings.
Single Girder Top Running Electric Hoists
Low-headroom hoists
Low-headroom hoists are perfect for using in the small under-beam space in single-girder cranes. Choose between flat or angled wheels to suit your bottom flanges and running profile, to improve performance and increase the life of your hoist.
Standard-headroom hoists ready for curves
This hoist is designed for applications that involve moving loads along curved paths and changes in direction. Choose between flat or angled wheels to suit your bottom flanges and running profile, to improve performance and increase the life of your hoist.
