Use an existing or planned runway.
Start with overhead cranes when the building structure and handling route support a bridge crane layout.

Find the right crane for your load and site.
Explore overhead cranes, gantry cranes and electric hoists by lifting arrangement. Compare the equipment families first, then review the model details that fit your worksite.
Overhead crane installed in an industrial steel plantWhat will you lift?Load mass, dimensions and attachment
Where will it move?Building runway, yard rail or beam
How will it operate?Travel path, duty and site conditions
Start with the installation
The site layout points to the right equipment family.
Capacity alone does not determine the crane. The supporting structure, travel route, hook height and operating cycle all shape the configuration.
Support the lift from the ground.
Compare gantry cranes when rails, tires or yard geometry define the movement path.
See gantry cranes ↗Select the hoist around the duty.
Review wire-rope hoists for a compatible bridge, trolley or beam-mounted system.
See electric hoists ↗01 / Equipment families
Three ways to build a lifting system.
Choose the main arrangement, then narrow it by load, span, working environment and required control.
01 / BUILDING-SUPPORTED
Overhead cranes
Bridge cranes for production bays, assembly areas and process lines with a suitable runway or roof-supported arrangement.
- Support
- Building runway
- First check
- Span and structure
02 / GROUND-SUPPORTED
Gantry cranes
Ground-supported lifting for yards, ports, infrastructure sites and facilities where a full overhead runway is not the chosen layout.
- Support
- Ground rail or tires
- First check
- Travel envelope
03 / LIFTING UNIT
Electric hoists
Wire-rope hoist options for a compatible crane, trolley or beam-mounted lifting arrangement.
- Support
- Crane or beam
- First check
- Headroom and duty

03 / Buyer comparison
Compare the installation before the model.
The right choice depends on where the crane is supported and how the load moves through the worksite.
| Equipment | Support and travel | Typical planning question | Send with your enquiry |
|---|---|---|---|
| Overhead crane | Bridge travels on a building-supported or dedicated runway. | Can the building and runway accept the crane loads and required hook approaches? | Building section, runway plan, load and duty. |
| Gantry crane | Crane travels on ground rails or a purpose-designed mobile arrangement. | What yard width, travel length and clear height must the crane cover? | Yard layout, rail/foundation plan, load and lifting method. |
| Electric hoist | Hoist travels on a compatible crane, trolley or beam. | What headroom, hook travel and operating cycle are required? | Mounting drawing, capacity, lift height and work cycle. |
