Workshop crane design: Workshop overhead crane or workshop gantry crane Overhead cranes are generally installed inside the workshop, before installing the overhead cranes, there are some preparation work need to be confirmed.
European double girder workshop crane with the crane capacity of 5~ 80 ton
double girder hoist crane with the crane capacity of 5 ton~63 ton
Hook overhead workshop crane with the crane capacity of 5 ton~ 550 ton

Electric hoist Single beam overhead workshop crane with the crane capacity of 1 ton ~30t
European Single beam underslung crane with the crane capacity of 1 ton ~ 20 tons
Single beam suspension overhead workshop crane with the crane capacity of 1 ton ~ 10 tonsWorkshops can be built with steel structure and concrete columns. Nowadays, most are built up with steel structures. No matter what your workshop is built, Dongqi Crane can offer you with custom designed workshop crane.
For concrete workshops, there are many different conditions. Generally, it have two different conditions:
Why to design crane before workshop construction?
When you choose concrete to build workshop, crane installation needs to be considered beforehand. Because the concrete columns not only can be used as the supporting columns of workshop, but also can be functioned as the supporting columns for the brackets of the workshop overhead crane. That is to say, it is better to have your workshop crane installation into consideration at the very beginning of workshop design.
Dongqi Crane had served many clients who has the concrete column made workshop, but they didn’t consider crane installation at the construction stage, which will lead to much higher cost and trouble in installing cranes someday they want. Of course we also successfully served one case to provide solution of steel brackets and install it on the concrete columns for a Jordan client, regardless of cost and troubles, this is a perfect case combined the concrete columns and steel brackets.

If you have already had your workshop built up, what can you do?
Another solution for concrete made workshop, to install steel columns beside the concrete columns, thus Dongqi Crane will design the drawing according to the distance of columns and provide solution of steel columns and runway beam additionally.With profound knowledge and experience, Dongqi Crane always can find a way out for your workshop. If you have any need or doubt, please feel free to email us to sales@cranesdq.com.
The other kind of workshop is made of steel structure, this kind of workshop is most popular.
Also, it has to take the workshop crane into consideration when you construct the steel structure of your workshop.
The following should be considered:
Worshop crane capacity, max. Wheel load, crane weight, etc.
In the previous article, Dongqi Crane wrote that the weight of Chinese overhead crane is higher than European style overhead crane, if you haven’t start the construction of steel structure, Dongqi Crane advise European style overhead crane, because it has light weight and high performance, which can save much cost on the steel structure.lf you want to know more, please leave a message below and our crane engieer will contact you as soon as possible.
If you have already finished the steel structure, then you need to discuss with your structure design engineers and confirm crane capacity, wheel load and weight to ensure the steel structure can support the wanted crane.
Recently, we served one client who has the similar experience.
At first, the client want 10 ton overhead crane to install on the existing columns, Dongqi Crane sent single girder overhead crane solution, but the client feedback that they want double girder overhead crane.
In order to make sure the real site condition, Dongqi Crane ask for the photo or layout of the workshop, with the photo of workshop below, Dongqi Crane advise client to check with his shed design engineer of the max crane capacity and weight the shed can support.
Finally, the client feedback that the max capacity is 5 ton single girder overhead crane, the client also ask for the quote of runway beam, Dongqi Crane confirm the columns distance and traveling length, then send to the complete offer of 5ton European style single girder overhead crane.
5 ton workshop overhead crane for existing steel workshop
All the above are for overhead cranes, if your workshop is big enough, you can consider rail mounted gantry crane and wheel gantry crane instead of overhead cranes, gantry cranes don’t need columns and runway beams, but it will take some space of workshop.

Finally, Dongqi Crane are willing to serve any kind of workshops and provide the most suitable solutions; Dongqi Crane also provide steel structures and the designs together with cranes.
Dongqi Crane need to know the workshop length and width, columns distances to provide a basic design and the columns foundation drawings; below are two successful cases Dongqi Crane served:
3 ton workshop overhead crane column foudation - Dongqi workshop crane
30 ton double girder whopr overhead crane steel structures - Dongqi workshop crane
With illustrations of workshop crane project from design to installation, Dongqi helps find the suitable workshop crane. Please leave us your needs, Dongqi Crane can offers you suitable workshop crane to your workshop.
