Underslung Crane

This type of crane runs on track beams forming part of the building roof structure and so does not require supportive floor columns. The crane runs on the lower flange of the track beams, which are suspended from the roof or ceiling.These cranes are hung under the runway beams. Hence they are called underhung cranes or underslung cranes. These cranes are also known as Transfer Cranes, as they can transfer loads from one bay to another directly from the crane to crane.
