What are Overhead Bridge Crane Specifications?

Overhead bridge cranes are essential for material handling in many industries, from manufacturing to warehousing. Their efficiency and safety largely depend on accurate specifications capable of handling heavy loads. Crane system specifications provide detailed characteristics that define a crane’s capabilities and limitations.

These include:

Capacity

The maximum weight the crane can lift.

​Span

The horizontal distance between the crane’s rails.

Lift height

The maximum vertical distance the hook can travel.

Speed

The movement speed of the crane, hoist, and trolley.

Duty cycle

The frequency and intensity of crane usage.

Power supply

The electrical requirements for the crane.

Control system

The type of controls (pendants, radio, cabin).

Environmental conditions

The crane’s suitability for specific environments (temperature, humidity, explosive atmospheres).

Why are Specifications Important?

Precise specifications are critical not only to production and performance but for safety, cost effectiveness and longevity of the crane.

Safety

Incorrect specifications can lead to overloading, structural failure, and accidents.

Efficiency

A crane matched to the workload ensures optimal performance.

Cost-effectiveness

Oversized cranes are unnecessary expenses, while undersized ones can limit productivity.

Compliance

Adhering to industry standards and regulations is essential.

Maintenance

Proper specifications aid in maintenance planning and spare parts procurement.

By carefully considering and specifying these factors, businesses can select or design overhead bridge cranes that perfectly suit their operations.
