Complete Manual Overhead Crane Range

Manual crane selection depends on load weight, lifting frequency, span, available building support, required travel distance and acceptable operator pull force. These cranes are most suitable where handling cycles are limited and electric drives would add unnecessary cost or complexity.

SDQ

SDQ Manual Single-Girder Overhead Crane

A hand-driven top-running single-girder overhead crane for workshops, warehouses and repair areas with low handling frequency. Manual bridge travel, manual trolley travel and hand-chain lifting provide a simple system that does not depend on an electrical power supply.

SQ Manual Double-Girder Overhead Crane
SQ

SQ Manual Double-Girder Overhead Crane

A manually driven double-girder overhead crane for heavier loads in facilities where lifting frequency and travel speed are not critical. It provides higher structural capacity than a manual single-girder crane while retaining fully manual lifting and travel.

Selection by Operating Requirement

Choose the Manual Crane by Application

No Electrical Power Available

Manual lifting and travel allow crane operation in remote workshops, utility spaces and facilities where permanent electrical supply is not available.

Very Low Handling Frequency

Where loads are moved only occasionally, a manual crane can avoid the cost and maintenance of motors, controls, cables and electrical protection.

Light Suspended Layout

SDXQ-3 is suitable where a suspended track can be supported from the roof structure and the required capacity does not exceed the manual suspension range.

General Workshop Lifting

SDQ covers 1–10 t light-duty lifting on top-running runways and is suitable for maintenance and simple material-transfer tasks.

Heavier Manual Handling

SQ extends manual lifting to 5–20 t using a double-girder structure where higher structural capacity is required but operation remains infrequent.

Emergency / Backup Handling

Manual lifting systems can be useful in selected facilities as independent low-duty handling equipment where electrical systems are deliberately minimized.

Manual vs Electric

When a Manual Crane Is the Better Choice

Selection FactorManual Overhead CraneElectric Overhead Crane
Operating FrequencyBest for occasional and low-frequency handlingBetter for repeated production cycles and frequent daily lifting
Power SupplyNo electrical power required for basic operationRequires electrical supply, cabling and control system
Travel SpeedLow, operator-driven travelHigher travel speed and optional VFD control
Initial System ComplexitySimple mechanical system with fewer electrical componentsMore complex but supports higher productivity and automation
Operator EffortManual pull force increases with capacity and travel resistanceMotorized lifting and travel reduce operator physical effort
Typical DecisionSelect when usage is infrequent and simplicity is more important than throughputSelect when productivity, precision or repeated cycles justify powered mechanisms
Engineering Considerations

Manual Crane Design Factors

Operator Pull Force

Manual hoisting and travel force should be checked against the expected load and operating distance so the crane remains practical for daily use.

Runway & Wheel Pressure

Even a manual crane transfers rated load and crane self-weight into the runway, so wheel pressure and support structure still require engineering checks.

Travel Distance

Long runway distances can make hand-driven travel inefficient. Electric travel should be considered if loads must move frequently over long distances.

Headroom & Hook Height

Building height, girder depth and hoist arrangement determine the highest usable hook position and total lifting stroke.

Mechanical Braking

Manual hoists and travel systems require reliable mechanical braking and load-holding devices suited to the selected capacity.

Future Electrification

For workshops likely to increase production, runway and bridge design can be reviewed for possible later conversion to powered travel or electric hoisting.

Request a Manual Overhead Crane Proposal

Provide rated load, span, lifting height, runway length, lifting frequency and building/runway information. For manual operation, state the expected travel distance and whether electric power is unavailable or simply not required.
