Cranes
Types of Cranes
- Bridge cranes for large area coverage
- Gantry cranes for limited height, area or outdoor yard type requirements
- Jib cranes for limited circular area coverage
- Monorails cranes for dedicated in line travel locations
Bridge Crane Styles
- Underhung cranes for lower capacities, can be hung from building structure for reduced floor supports

- Double girder cranes for torsional stability and head room clearance
Speeds
- Manual hoist and crane horizontal motion for light weights and short distance motion
- Power hoist and crane horizontal motion for heavy weights, long distance and accurate positioning
- Slow hoist and crane speeds for positioning in delicate operations such as assembly or machine shops
- High speed hoist and cranes for long travel distance or products such as bulk handling
- Multi speed and variable speed crane and hoist controls available
