Perpendicular Carrier-Beam Overhead Crane
Carry long steel sections across the bridge direction with a transverse lifting beam. A transverse carrier beam changes the load orientation relative to bridge travel. Verify side clearance, beam rotation needs and balanced load sharing across all pickup points.
Where perpendicular carrier-beam crane fits the lifting task.
A transverse carrier beam changes the load orientation relative to bridge travel. Verify side clearance, beam rotation needs and balanced load sharing across all pickup points.
Include rigging, carrier beam or service attachment, not only the payload.
Provide rail centres, travel length, hook approach and obstructions.
State frequency, shifts and precision or transfer requirements.

Map the load route before fixing the model.
For steel plate and section handling across parallel stock rows, show pickup, travel and set-down locations on one drawing. Request hook envelope, reactions and the selected mechanism in the technical offer.
Complete loadInclude payload, rigging and any attachment or carrier beam.
GeometryMark rail centres, lift, approach distances, obstacles and travel length.
ServiceState loads per cycle, cycles per hour, shifts and required positioning.
Site interfaceProvide runway or foundation capacity, power and destination requirements.
Check the supporting structure against the final wheel loads and horizontal reactions.
Compare complete perpendicular carrier-beam crane offers.
Require the same load case, approved layout, equipment list and delivery milestone from every supplier.
Request a general arrangement, hook coverage, wheel loads and support interface.
List bridge or portal, hoist or trolley, attachment, drives, brakes, limits and overload protection.
Separate factory inspection, dispatch, freight, installation, site load test and operator documents.
Before you release a purchase order.
Use these questions to compare suppliers against the same technical and delivery scope.
Is a transverse beam suitable for every aisle?
Mark the complete load width and side clearances along the travel path first.
How should capacity be interpreted?
Check each pickup point, beam self-weight and the permitted combined load in the final design.
What is the minimum order?
Request a quotation for one crane or a project package; the offer should state the minimum quantity and complete supply scope.
How is lead time confirmed?
Ask for calendar days from deposit and approved drawings to factory dispatch, with freight and site work shown separately.
