Main Components of Industrial Bridge Cranes: The Bridge

Industrial Bridge Cranes

Industrial bridge cranes connect two locations that are situated at opposing ends of a warehouse or industrial facility.

An industrial bridge crane is composed of three major components: a bridge, a runway, and a hoist and trolley.

The bridge is a horizontal beam that is positioned along the path where goods and materials are to be transported. It bridges or connects the place where materials are located to the place where materials are to be deposited.

Industrial bridge cranes can have one beam or two beams. Single beam bridge cranes are ideal for light or moderate material handling applications. Double beam bridge cranes are designed for loads weighing 10 tons or more.
