Main Components of Industrial Bridge Cranes: The Runway

Industrial Bridge Cranes

Industrial bridge cranes can run along the length of the runway beams for precision alignment.

As previously mentioned, an industrial bridge crane consists of a bridge, a runway, and a hoist and trolley.

The bridge can be adjusted horizontally along the runway. The runway beams are located on each end of the bridge crane. They are typically attached to the walls of the industrial facility.

For heavy loads, it is best to connect the runways to a wall structure for maximum safety. For light applications, free-standing industrial bridge cranes are available.
