About products and suppliers

Overhead cranes are typically permanent structures installed in facilities or construction sites for repetitive workflow use. A horizontal beam known as the bridge on an overhead crane travels up and down a runway on a track or overhead crane rail. A trolley and hoist move side by side across the bridge, lifting and lowering loads in a rectangular bay. A 10-ton overhead crane, also known as an overhead bridge crane, is a popular lifting machine. It is widely used for material handling, loading, and moving in warehouses, workshops, garages, assembly factories, and a variety of other settings. Here are some features of a 10-ton bridge crane.

10-ton overhead cranes help save space

Customers usually purchase overhead cranes for garages, warehouses, and factories to save place for other on-the-ground equipment. A 10-ton overhead crane can move directly over the contents of a facility. When choosing a warehouse pallet racking system, one can consider whether or not these aisles will be required.

10-ton overhead cranes have a longer life expectancy

It is not uncommon for an overhead crane system to last up to 65 years, compared to a forklift's expected life of about 10-15 years. Because overhead cranes are custom-built for the application at hand, they are less prone to damage.

10-ton overhead cranes minimize accidents

Overhead crane safety is one of the most important considerations when customers make a purchase. 10-ton overhead cranes can handle corrosive or dangerous materials such as hot metals, chemicals, and heavy loads and can be used to lift and move materials in extreme environments. They remain a stationary part of the building structure and simply maneuver over any structures, reducing the likelihood of an accident. A workstation or jib crane can be installed to assist workers in moving heavy objects in a controlled manner, reducing repetitive motion injuries and muscle strains.
