Overhead Cranes

Move extremely heavy or bulky loads

Overhead cranes can assist you in moving extremely heavy or bulky loads through the overhead space in your facility. Our cranes are designed and Fabricated by American Equipment using the latest, most advanced components available from suppliers to meet your exact needs.

American Equipment’s overhead cranes offer an unmatched level of quality, reliability and strength. Our variety includes cranes that are built to nuclear specifications, are spark resistant and explosion proof, and options with built in anti-collision systems. They can be radio or pendant controlled for simple operation and include multiple trolley hoists.

PATENTED TRACK CRANES

Under-Running Single and Double Girder Cranes with Under-Running Hoist

Under-running cranes are supported by the ceiling structure, allowing you to free up floor space in your shop. The beams are designed for the highest rated capacity with the least amount of weight. Hardened wheels and flat bottom flanges decrease the pull factor over a wide flange or I beam by one half. These are designed for transfer cranes and provide the best value for long term and heavy-duty applications.

Specifications:

TOP-RUNNING DOUBLE GIRDER TOP-RUNNING TROLLEY

Our top-running double girder cranes are a powerful, flexible solution for heavy lifting in your facility. Double girder cranes with top running trolleys provide greater hook height, allowing you to capitalize on space. The top-running trolley system is supported by the rails attached to the crane runway. This allows you to lift heavier loads and provides more headroom than an under-running trolley.

Specifications:

Typical additional equipment includes centralized lubrication systems, full and partial foot walks, lights – signal and illuminating, alarms, Data Logger systems, travel limit switches, air conditioning, hoist synchronization.

Top-Running Double Girder Under-Running Trolley

A top-running double girder crane with an under running trolley is an easy to operate and lightweight crane solution. The under-running trolley system allows for multiple under-running crane runways that can operate simultaneously and adjacent to one another. If you’re looking for a crane system that can help you lift and transport materials along a fixed path a top-running double girder with an under-running trolley is an ideal choice.

Specifications:

Top-Running Single Girder

Top-running single girder cranes are the most economical crane option for your project. The top-running girder provides more headroom than an under-running crane and decreases the amount of dead weight. If you’re looking for a simple solution to lifting heavy loads in your facility a top-running single girder crane is a great option.

Specifications:

Under-Running Single Girder Under-Running Trolley

An under-running single girder crane is another cost-effective solution for moving heavy and bulky loads using the overhead space in your facility. An under-running crane moves the hoist along the bottom flange of the bridge beam. Because this crane is supported by the ceiling structure, it allows you to maximize the floor space in your facility and utilize the complete width and height of the building.

Looking for a way to lift heavy loads through your facility, without obstructing your factory floor?

Wide Flange

Our wide flange monorails have a wider selection of means and offer lateral stability.

"I" Beam

Our ‘I” beam monorails work with higher and lower flange wheel loading.

Patented

 Our patented track monorails have a hardened flat track and offer the longest life and lowest track wear. These rails also brilliantly handle curves and switches.

Monorails

Designed for underhung transportation, monorails move on the bottom flange of a rail and allow for quick, efficient transport of goods and materials. Our monorail systems come with a number of abilities, including the following: 

Apart from offering more storage for your goods, our monorail systems can be customized to help your operations go off without a hitch. We offer several types of monorail construction systems:
