overhead bridge cranes, also known as bridge cranes, are one of the most commonly used types of cranes in warehouse applications. These cranes are designed to lift and move heavy loads horizontally within a warehouse space. They are typically mounted on elevated runways, allowing them to cover a large area of the warehouse. Overhead bridge cranes come in various configurations, including single girder and double girder designs, and can be customized to meet specific warehouse requirements.
Jib cranes are another popular choice for warehouse applications, especially in areas where space is limited. These cranes feature a horizontal jib or boom that is mounted to a vertical mast or wall, allowing for 360-degree rotation and precise positioning of loads. Jib cranes are ideal for lifting and maneuvering materials within a small area, such as workstations or specific storage areas within a warehouse.
Gantry cranes, also known as portal cranes, are versatile lifting solutions that are commonly used in warehouses and outdoor storage yards. These cranes are supported by legs that run on rails or wheels, allowing them to travel along a runway or track within the warehouse. Gantry cranes are available in various configurations, including single and double girder designs, and can be equipped with additional features such as cantilevered booms for increased flexibility.
Wall-mounted cranes, also known as wall-traveling cranes, are mounted to the walls of the warehouse, allowing them to move along the length of the wall. These cranes are often used for lifting and moving heavy loads in a specific area of the warehouse where floor space is limited. Wall-mounted cranes are available in various configurations, including fixed and traveling designs, making them suitable for different warehouse layouts.
Electric hoists are essential lifting devices that can be used in conjunction with various crane systems within a warehouse. These hoists are designed to lift and lower heavy loads with precision and control, making them suitable for a wide range of warehouse applications. Electric hoists can be mounted on overhead bridge cranes, jib cranes, or gantry cranes, providing versatile lifting solutions for different warehouse environments.
Wire rope hoists are another type of lifting device that is commonly used in warehouse applications. These hoists utilize wire ropes to lift and lower heavy loads, providing reliable and efficient material handling solutions within a warehouse. Wire rope hoists can be integrated into overhead bridge cranes or gantry cranes, offering high lifting capacities and smooth operation for demanding warehouse tasks.
