What distinguishes a hoist crane from an overhead crane?
The key difference between a hoist crane and an overhead crane is that a hoist can only move loads vertically, while an overhead crane can move loads vertically and horizontally.
What is the cost of an overhead crane?
The price of an overhead crane can depend on factors like the type of crane, capacity, duty scale, operating environment, and installation costs.
What is an overhead crane's maximum capacity?
The Rated Capacity or Maximum Rated Capacity of an overhead crane can range from as low as 1 tonne up to several hundred tonnes. The exact maximum capacity depends on various factors like design, structural components, lift radius, and operating configuration. Typically, single-girder overhead cranes have a maximum capacity of around 20 tonnes, and double-girder cranes have somewhere between 50 and 100 tonnes.
How often do overhead cranes need to be serviced?
At modular Cranes, we recommend annual periodic inspections as mandated by OSHA and Australian standards. However, the inspection interval may need to be more frequent for your overhead crane maintenance to achieve optimal performance. You can choose monthly or quarterly overhead crane service depending on factors like the crane’s duty class, usage, and operating environment. In addition, they should also undergo frequent visual and operational inspections to catch any serious issues early.
