Bridge crane classification

A bridge crane is a common industrial crane. Its fetching device is suspended on a lifting trolley, hoist or jib crane that can run along the bridge, and the bridge beam is directly supported on the track through the operating device.

According to different standards, overhead cranes can be classified in many ways. Here are some common classification methods:

According to different spreaders, they can be divided into hook-type cranes, grab-type cranes, and electromagnetic suction cup cranes.
According to different uses, they can be divided into two categories: general overhead cranes and special overhead cranes. Special overhead cranes can be subdivided into power station overhead cranes, explosion-proof overhead cranes, insulated overhead cranes, metallurgical overhead cranes, etc.
According to the number of load-bearing beams, bridges can be divided into single-girder bridges, double-girder bridges and multi-girder bridges.
According to the relative position of the crane and the track, it can be divided into a support bridge running along the top surface of the track and a suspension bridge running along the lower flange of the track beam.
