Overhead cranes are vital machines in today's industrial facilities preferred for their unmatched ability to load and unload heavy items, move the materials, and assemble the equipment. Based on these capabilities, they are mostly used in warehouses, transportation, and storage facilities. Overhead cranes are of two types – Single girder EOT cranes and Double Girder EOT cranes. Below are some of the benefits of using them in the industry.
• You can install these cranes as far from the floor as you like and as close to the ceiling. With this advantage, your crane will be far away from any obstructions on the factory floor. Any items or products that are carried by the crane will be safe as there will be no collision with the items on the ground.
• One of their types, the single girder cranes, are much easier to install due to their compact parts that you can assemble with ease. You can also save up the maintenance cost spent on crane components, runway structure, and building if you're using them.
• You can buy an overhead crane at a much affordable price as compared to other types of cranes. They are very effective and easy to maintain as there will be very little cost to be spent on their labour.
• If you're willing to stack your items or products, you can do that easily with the help of an overhead crane. These cranes can lift higher than forklifts, so you can easily stack the times. It will also create more space in the facility.
• Overhead cranes offer a quick movement and a faster mechanism that allows you to lift or move bulky items in your facility with confidence without damaging anything or causing any accidents.
• You can easily customize overhead cranes; you can easily add lifting beams, spreader beams, roll & coil lifters, and other things below the crane girder.
• Overhead cranes are very rigid as compared to mobile cranes; their structure is designed in a way that they don't shudder or shake while lifting the items.
• Operating an overhead crane is safer than using a forklift; there will be no chance of dropping or imprecise stacking of items if you're using these cranes. The reason behind that would be, these cranes have better precision and load control.
• The overhead cranes perform actions on their own; it is a huge benefit for the operator as he has to work up the knobs or switches and just wait for the crane to start working. The operator will feel less fatigue as there's not much physical work required to operate these cranes.
