How bridge cranes improve efficiency

Steve McCormick, Technical Director

Bridge cranes offer manufacturing and warehouse facilities a practical lifting solution that frees up limited floor space and keeps traffic ways clear, reducing the risk of accidents, personnel injury and product and facility damage.

Bridge cranes can enhance the efficiency of manufacturing and warehouse facilities. First, compared to other lifting options, they create fewer obstacles on the factory or warehouse floor. Second, they move loads with greater speed and efficiency than could be done on the floor.

Bridge cranes offer exceptional versatility in material handling as they provide hook coverage over an expansive area. They are capable of operating close to walls for highly efficient use of space and can be designed to meet each customer’s production needs and facility design. As they make good use of available space, bridge cranes can help you avoid expensive facility expansions or renovations.

We manufacture overhead bridge cranes in single- and double-girder construction and provides options of profile or box girder design. In addition, we offer a choice of hoists for our bridge cranes including electric chain hoists, wire rope hoists and synthetic rope hoists.

Other options for our bridge cranes include top- or under-running models, which you can select depending on the height and construction design of your facility. You can also choose the duty, classification, speed and control options that are best suited to your requirements.

Remote controls are a significant option that can improve safety, ergonomics and functionality of bridge cranes. They enable crane operators to maintain a safe distance from the equipment while operating it and feature improved ergonomics.
