GH Under Running Electric Hoists




GH under running electric hoists are configured for under-running cranes in multiple configurations. Under-running bridge cranes, also known as under-hung cranes, have a user-friendly design with wheels supported by the bottom flange of the runway beam. These cranes are designed for capacities under 10 tons and are typically ceiling-supported for maximum floor space utilization.
Under-running cranes maximize the hook-end approach of the hoist due to the bridge beam being located under the runways. They are ideal for facilities lacking vertical clearance and are typically configured in a single girder design for lighter service and lower-capacity applications, but can be built in custom configurations.
Products
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
Our standard-headroom hoists are the perfect solution when the amount of space under your single-girder crane is not critical, or when you are moving loads between halls.
This configuration is suitable for 1/1 and 2/2 reeving hoists.
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.
