Complete Carrier-Beam Overhead Crane Range

Carrier-beam crane selection starts with load orientation. The beam direction determines how the load is picked relative to the bridge, while rotating systems are used when the material must be turned or aligned before placement.

QJ Lower-Rotating Carrier-Beam Overhead Crane
QJ

QJ Lower-Rotating Carrier-Beam Overhead Crane

A lower-rotating carrier-beam crane for steel plate, section steel, coil and other long or wide loads that require angle adjustment during transport. The suspended beam can rotate beneath the trolley and can be equipped with clamps or other process-specific lifting devices for steel mills, ports, warehouses and manufacturing bays.

Parallel Carrier-Beam Maximum Wheel Pressure

Parallel-beam geometry changes the trolley and bridge load distribution, so its wheel-pressure values should be checked separately from the perpendicular configuration.

Selection by Load

Choose the Carrier-Beam Crane by Material and Orientation

Steel Plate

Use multiple lifting points to distribute the load across long or wide plates. Beam orientation should match the plate flow through the production or storage area.

Profiles & Long Sections

Carrier beams reduce twisting and improve stability for long steel sections, rails, pipes and structural members that are difficult to control from one hook.

Fabricated Structures

Long welded assemblies can be handled from several points to control deflection and maintain the designed load orientation during transfer.

Coils & Process Loads

QJ rotating systems can use engineered clamps or process lifting devices where the load must be aligned with storage racks or production equipment.

Loads Requiring Turning

Choose a lower-rotating beam where the load must change angle between pickup and placement rather than remaining in one fixed orientation.

Automated Material Flow

Servo-controlled rotation, PLC positioning, anti-sway and obstacle detection can support automatic or semi-automatic long-load handling.

Carrier-Beam Safety & Control

Critical Engineering Functions

Multi-Point Load Distribution

Beam length, suspension spacing and lifting-point capacity should be matched to the load's center of gravity and allowable deflection.

Rotation-Angle Protection

On QJ systems, photoelectric sensing can identify the beam angle and stop rotation when the permitted range is exceeded.

Mechanical + Electrical Anti-Sway

V-type rope reeving and electrical anti-sway control improve load stability and final positioning during long-load transfer.

Clamp / Lifter Interlock

Dedicated clamps and lifting devices should be interlocked with hoisting control so the crane cannot lift before the load is securely engaged.

PLC + HMI Control

Programmable control supports rotation limits, work-position logic, fault monitoring and repeatable transfer sequences.

Obstacle Avoidance

Engineered automated systems can add high-precision detection and autonomous avoidance for complex production or aerospace work areas.
