Types of Overhead Bridge Cranes for All Types of Steel Buildings
An overhead bridge crane has various applications. They may handle heavy and bulky objects and loads to help with product assembly and manufacturing, trucks loading and unloading and efficiently handling of large containers handling , which can maximize floor storage space.
Not all buildings are capable of carrying such large weights of overhead crane and heavy objects required to handle, and such a necessity must be factored into the building's design from the start. Failure to do so may impair the building's future capabilities and use as company needs change. Yuantai Crane is able to provide overhead bridge cranes and its support metal buildings. If you have any need, please feel free to contact us.

Bridge Cranes have a theoretical design life of 25 years in most circumstances, whereas componentry has a theoretical design life of 10 years - after the first 10 years, the overhead bridge crane can be overhauled and used for another 10 years. Because of the severe loads that overhead cranes are subjected to, it is usually recommended that frequent inspections be conducted.
In some cases, a bay may require the addition of additional overhead cranes. When two or more bridge cranes are operating in the same bay, anti-collision devices can be fitted between them to improve safety and prevent errors. If an engineer requires the overhead bridge cranes to be separated apart from one another for building loading purposes, this device can be configured to the engineer's specifications (for example, a 6m distance between the two travelling cranes). Even if there is no separation restriction, the technology slows the cranes as they approach each other and prevents high-speed impact.
If you're developing a commercial building as an investment that will be leased to another company, a full gantry installation may not be necessary, but the groundwork and structural engineering to support an Overhead Bridge Crane in the future can be considered. Buildings with merely corbels erected to "future proof" the building (without the runway beams, crane rail, and end stops) are conceivable if maximum versatility is desired - this makes installing a bridge crane and supporting steelwork in the future much easier and less expensive.

Benifits of installing bridge crane in metal building
There are, nevertheless, various advantages to installing an overhead crane. Among these include, but are not limited to, the following:
- 1. Making advantage of underutilized space within the building.
- 2.Material handling operation was done from a safe distance by remote control or cabin control.
- 3.Moving bulky and uneven large loads safely.
- 4.Reduce the use of floor dangers like telehandlers and forklifts.
- 5.Better load control with high precision.
- 6.Transportation of extremely heavy loads.
Comparison of overhead bridge cranes and forklift
Forklifts are also widely used due to the they are a very cost-effective approach to handle a products or assembly facility. However, when a process expands, using forklifts in manufacturing processes might brings new risks and expenses that can be avoided.
A forklift takes up a lot of room and frequently destroys products or machinery in operation process. When compared to an overhead crane, which moves over stock, machinery, and workers, it is easy to understand how an Overhead Bridge Crane helps you to maximize your floor area.
Materil handling risks of forklifts
When using a forklift, the operator must ensure that the load is carefully and appropriately piled, or the cargo may tumble, resulting in serious repercussions. Forklifts operate on the ground level, posing a risk to those working on the factory floor, and a forklift, or telehandler, requires a specific amount of room to move around the shop and then swing the cargo into place.
While it is the responsibility of business owners and directors to provide the safest possible working environment, busy seasons and increasing demand increase the dangers at work. Moving goods and persons at high speeds raises the probability of an accident. Safety precautions like walkway barriers and gates help, but with forklift operator mistake being a primary source of accidents, there's only so much a company can do. The best course of action may be to eliminate potentially hazardous behaviors.
Advantages of overhead bridge crane over forklift
Overhead Bridge Cranes provide significant safety advantages over forklifts and telehandlers. In addition to lowering floor-level hazards, the operator isn't multitasking as much as a forklift driver, allowing them to monitor hazards and risks.
Overhead crane safety training is an excellent technique to reduce dangers, and it is also a cost-effective safety alternative. Consider integrating advanced technologies in your overhead crane, such as anti-sway technology, which allows an operator to move and place loads more precisely using the load's center of gravity, increasing safety even further.
Bringing in experienced advise on Overhead Bridge Crane installation from the start of a new building's development is one of the most significant ways an Overhead Bridge Crane can be made safe and boost efficiency. While gantries place a significant stress on the structure, it is not always exponentially more expensive to build the structure to sustain a gantry now or in the future.
Yuantai Crane has a wealth of experience designing overhead cranes into structures, as well as engineering knowledge to guarantee they fulfill user requirements.
Overhead bridge cranes can be configured to client specifications:
- Drives with variable speeds for precise handling.
- Two hoists can be used for longer and larger load handling.
- Two or more bridge cranes can operate together to manage extremely long loads or share extremely large loads.
- Electric bridge cranes can typically be given with substantially greater lifting capacities than a forklift.
- Different safety features (flashing lights, sirens, limitations, overload limits, and so forth).
Bridge crane installation in various steel building types
- The Portal frame structure . It has a straightforward force, a clear force transmission path, and a quick construction speed. The use of a portal frame structure increases the bonding characteristics of walls and creates more flexible space layouts, allowing for greater technical innovation.
- Steel building frame structures . With its structural flexibility, steel building frame constructions are utilized to create high-rise and super-high-rise buildings, multi-story buildings, and commercial office buildings. A steel building frame can be customized to meet your specifications.
- Steel Truss Structure. The advantage of Steel Truss Structure is that small cross-section rods can be used to form larger cross-section components, which are frequently used in industrial and civil buildings with large spans or heights, such as roofs, bridges, TV towers, mast towers, marine oil production platforms, tower corridors, and so on.
- Steel Grid Structure . It is a high-order, statically indeterminate space structure made up of many rods that follow specific regulations. The space is light in weight, stiff, and has good seismic resistance. It can function as a gymnasium, exhibition hall, rain roof, canopies, and hangars.
