Supporting Steel Structures for Cranes & Hoists

Freestanding Top Running Bridge Crane System

Strong Foundations for Heavy Lifting Solutions

The foundation of any efficient and reliable overhead material handling system lies in its supporting steel structure. At AFE Crane, we understand that a robust, precisely engineered framework is critical for maximizing the performance and safety of your cranes and hoists. We specialize in designing, fabricating, and installing custom crane supports and steel structures, including crane runways, monorail systems, and patented track solutions, tailored to your unique operational demands. Discover how our expertise in structural steel fabrication can ensure seamless integration and long-term reliability for your lifting applications.

Types of Supporting Steel Structures

Crane Runway Systems

Runways are the supporting structure of an overhead crane that creates the track on which the crane can travel. The main components include support columns, bridge girders, and rails and are configurated to meet your requirements.

Crane Monorail Systems

A crane monorail system functions like a simpler version of a bridge crane system utilizing a single beam for the track of the crane. An overhead monorail system is an excellent solution when moving parts from station-to-station in an assembly facility.

Patented Track​

Patented track rail offers high-strength, precision-machined durability for smooth, low-friction operation. Made from hardened steel, it resists wear, reduces maintenance costs, and lowers structural stress. Ideal for crane systems, monorails, and custom trolley applications.

Structural Steel Fabrication​

AFE Crane designs, engineers and fabricates supporting structural steel to meet the requirements of our customer’s crane system. AFE Crane is also able to have our runway and structural system stamped by a Professional Engineer licensed by the National Society of Professional Engineers.
