Why Choose Our
Overhead Bridge Cranes?
With more than 60 years of experience serving industries across Canada, our overhead bridge crane systems are engineered to the highest standards, ensuring your facility can handle heavy lifting with ease. By offering both standard and custom bridge crane configurations, we cater to industries ranging from automotive and manufacturing to steel and paper production.
- Single Girder Overhead Cranes: Ideal for light to moderate loads, these cranes offer cost-effective, reliable solutions for your lifting needs.
- Double Girder Overhead Cranes: Designed for heavy-duty applications, double girder systems provide increased capacity and better hook height, making them suitable for more demanding tasks.
- Box Girder Overhead Cranes: For larger capacities and longer spans, custom-built girders provide superior strength and durability, making them ideal for handling heavier loads, typically 20 tons and above, with crane spans extending up to 120 feet.
- Custom Solutions: We offer tailored crane systems built to your specifications, ensuring that your unique requirements are met with precision.
Our cranes are manufactured in accordance with CMAA (Crane Manufacturers Association of America) specifications and all applicable Canadian safety regulations.
Overhead Crane Configurations
Our overhead crane offerings are designed with flexibility in mind, ensuring that each system meets your specific lifting and operational requirements. Depending on your facility’s layout and lifting needs, we offer:
- Top Running Cranes: These cranes run on rails mounted on top of runway beams, offering the maximum hook height. They are ideal for handling large loads and are used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and steel production.
- Under Running Cranes: Mounted beneath the runway beams, these cranes are a great choice when headroom is limited. Under running cranes are versatile and provide optimal coverage in tighter spaces.
Both single girder and double girder cranes are available in these configurations, allowing us to provide solutions for a wide range of capacities and spans. Whether you’re looking for a light-duty single girder crane or a heavy-duty double girder crane, we can design and install the perfect system for your needs.
Overhead Crane Benefits
Our overhead bridge cranes offer significant advantages over traditional material handling methods, including:
- Increased Efficiency: Moving large loads with a bridge crane reduces labor time and improves workflow in industrial settings.
- Improved Safety: Our cranes are designed with integrated safety features that minimize the risk of workplace injuries, ensuring the safe movement of materials across your facility.
- Maximized Space: Overhead bridge cranes are ideal for maximizing floor space, as they allow for lifting and transporting materials above ground level without the need for additional floor-based equipment.
Whether you need a crane system for infrequent use or continuous, heavy-duty operations, our experts can recommend the best solution to meet your load and duty requirements.
