PRODUCTS & CASES

Low-headroom overhead cranes are a type of bridge crane that optimizes the structure of the electric hoist and the main beam of the bridge crane, allowing the crane hook to be as close to the main beam as possible, thereby increasing the lifting height and saving factory space. They are particularly suitable for: renovations of old factories, new workshops with insufficient ceiling height, and scenarios requiring improved utilization of lifting space.

Structural Features of Low Headroom Overhead Cranes

Low headroom bridge cranes feature a compact electric hoist design, a side-mounted or embedded trolley structure, and optimized main beam cross-section for lightweight design and reduced wheel pressure. The reduced height between the hook and main beam results in a greater effective lifting height. They also offer smooth operation and precise positioning.

Common Types of Low Headroom Overhead Cranes

• Single-girder low headroom overhead crane: Lightweight structure, suitable for small to medium tonnage (1–20t is common).

• Double-girder low headroom overhead crane: Higher load-bearing capacity, suitable for heavy-duty and high-frequency operations.

Key Features & Advantages

• Innovative Trolley/Electric Hoist Structure: By designing features such as off-center gearbox mounting and integrating the drum into the load-bearing beam, the trolley's height is significantly reduced.

• Optimized Wire Rope Winding System: Improved pulley block layout prevents reverse bending of the wire rope, saving space and extending its service life.

• Modularization and Standardization: Many products are designed according to European FEM standards, resulting in a high degree of component commonality, facilitating maintenance and replacement.
