Top Running Overhead Crane

Top running overhead crane is a common type of overhead crane and as the name implies, its end trucks travel on the top of runway beam.

It is a kind of highly efficient lifting equipment which can make full use of the space under the bridge and is not obstructed by the equipment and obstructions on the ground.

The top running crane is available in two main configurations including single girder overhead crane and double girder overhead crane to suit multiple applications, such as loading and transferring goods in warehouse, workshop, and material yards. Compared with underhung crane, the top running crane is generally adopted for lifting larger and heavier loads, and it also provides high headroom when greater headroom is required or the building has low headroom.
