Overhead Crane

An overhead crane, commonly called a bridge crane, is a type of crane found in industrial environments. An overhead crane consists of two parallel rails seated on longitudinal I-beams attached to opposite steel columns by means of brackets. The traveling bridge spans the gap.Overhead cranes move a load across a rectangular area from side to side and backward and forward. A trolley with the lifting equipment, known as a hoist, hauls horizontally across a bridge beam linked to one or more horizontal girders supported at either end-by-end trucks.
