There are many types of light duty cranes with one of them being the light duty overhead crane. It is also known as the bridge crane, electric travelling crane or overhead material handling crane.
Light duty overhead cranes are made with the intention of meeting your productivity demands. They also are known to guarantee safety standards of the user due to their safe design. However they are mostly used in warehouses, workshops and yards.
The parts found in a light duty overhead crane are;
1. Crane Runways
2.Electric Hoist Or Trolley
The trolley is used to lift materials up and down. It is simply the lifting mechanism for the crane. It determines the lifting capacity of the light duty overhead crane and depending on the type of crane it can have a lifting capacity of 250kg, 1000 kg and even up to 100 ton +. It can be used in outside construction projects such as on building sites. It can also be used for indoor projects such as in a home. It all depends on the work that you need to be done.
3. The Bridge
These features are found in every typical light duty overhead crane.
4. Light duty overhead cranes have high efficiency due to their high rigidity.
5. Light duty overhead cranes are known for their high stability increasing the safety of the users. They do not carry very heavy loads and so they remain steady at all times.
6. The light duty overhead crane continually gives high performance despite its minimal structure.
7. Computer operated and optimized box sections for the single girder.
8. A light duty overhead crane is also very cost effective solution when you are in the business of handling materials. Its cost effective design serves well in almost all environments.
9. A weld box section design and rigid carriages.
10. Light duty overhead cranes have an increased cross-travel and lifting speed. This improves its efficiency and material handling capacity.
11. Light duty overhead crane has low sway during operations which makes it more accurate and provides safety for the operator and the materials being handled.
12. The light duty overhead crane can carry out fast delivery
13. The light duty overhead crane can be easily and quickly installed.
Due to its small size, the light duty overhead crane saves a lot of factory space and storage space when not in use.
There are different types of light duty overhead cranes for its various applications.
Light duty overhead cranes are used in the aviation industry, in steel applications, in the marine industry, in the mining industry, in rail road industry and even in the automobile industry. It is vast in its application as it provides impressive lifting solutions across the board in the maintenance and manufacturing operations in all these different industries.
They can be used to offer difficult automatic solutions as well as simple factory solutions and they are the best way to go for all your lifting needs and a very integral part of the construction industry.
