Shop Overhead Crane

The shop overhead crane is a heavy-duty lifting equipment widely used in industrial sites such as workshops and warehouses. It is mainly composed of a bridge frame, a running mechanism and a lifting mechanism. It is mainly used for material lifting and transportation in workshops, warehouses, docks and other places, and has the ability for three-dimensional movement. Typical applications include the transfer of goods in the mechanized and automated processes of industrial production, as well as in precise operations such as semiconductor manufacturing.

 

 

The overhead crane can become the main force for material handling in the workshop mainly because of its unique advantages and the fact that it is safer than using forklifts for transportation.

Saving space: Most shop overhead cranes are installed on the top of the factory building, occupying no space on the ground. Even the light-duty overhead crane adopts a low clearance design, which does not occupy the roof space.

Safe and efficient: Usually, overhead cranes are equipped with various safety control components, which will not cause the hook to collide with the top. The operation is smooth and fast, improving production efficiency.

Flexible layout: Multiple tracks can be laid on the top of the factory building, covering all areas of the workshop, making it convenient to lift and transport goods and meeting the layout requirements of different factories.

 

 

For most shop and workshop applications, the following two types are ideal:

Suitable for low-frequency and short-span scenarios (such as warehouses, workshops), with a carrying capacity of less than 10T.

Features:

• Low cost: Due to the smaller tonnage, less steel structure is used, and the manufacturing cost is much lower than that of double-beam bridge machines.
• Low headroom: There is only one main beam, no driver's cabin is equipped, so no much space is required.
• Simple installation: Fewer structures, easy installation and maintenance.

Double Girder Overhead Crane

Due to its high stability, it is often used in large-span and high-strength working environments (such as ports, metallurgical workshops). The carrying capacity is within 500T.

Features:

• Heavy tonnage: The main structure adopts two or even four main beams, which can bear heavier tonnage.
• Strong stability: The structure itself is relatively heavy, runs slowly, and operates very smoothly, so the stability is very high.
• Dual hooks: Two lifting trolley units can be added for installation, which can be combined for lifting operations, making the operation very flexible.

 

 

Here are some of our most popular configurations for garage and workshop cranes:

Model	Capacity	Span (m)	Lifting Height (m)	Control	Ideal For
Economy Shop Crane	2 - 5 Tons	8 - 15	6 - 9	Pendant	Auto Shops, Small Warehouses
Standard Workshop Crane	5 - 10 Tons	10 - 20	9 - 12	Pendant / Radio Remote	Manufacturing, Repair Shops
Heavy-Duty Shop Crane	10 - 20 Tons	15 - 25	12 - 18	Radio Remote	Steel Fabrication, Heavy Machinery

All our cranes are customizable. We can adjust the span, lifting speed, and control system to fit your exact shop layout and workflow.

• Post-sale support: Our headquarters is located in Singapore, but we have branches in China, the United States, Pakistan, Mexico and other places to ensure that we can reach the project sites of every customer.

 

 

 How much does a shop overhead crane cost?

 The price range for a shop overhead crane is generally between 8,000 US dollars and 15,000 US dollars. Of course, this is for a single beam. A double beam will be more expensive. As we mentioned earlier, the cost of a double beam is higher.

 The roof of my workshop is too low. Can a bridge crane be installed?

 Of course. We can provide a low headroom overhead crane or a suspended bridge crane. Everything will be handled by us.

 Can the current building structure of my workshop accommodate a bridge crane?

 This requires you to take photos for us. After the engineer's judgment, if it meets the requirements, it can be installed. If it doesn't meet the requirements, your workshop needs to be reinforced before installing the bridge crane.
