Cranes are lifting devices capable of moving loads vertically and horizontally to assist in material handling, widely used in various factory settings. Due to the confined spaces within factory buildings and the structural beams that can serve as crane supports, practical options for factory cranes typically include overhead cranes and gantry cranes. These lifting equipment types are highly suitable for factory lifting operations.

Bridge cranes span the workshop ceiling, enabling horizontal, vertical, and lateral load movement for material handling. Also known as overhead cranes, they rest on concrete pillars or metal beams, suspending the entire structure mid-air.

Longitudinal rails installed at both ends of the bridge girder enable the crane to move vertically, optimizing the use of space beneath the girder for lifting heavy objects while avoiding ground obstacles. Bridge cranes are currently the most widely used and numerous lifting equipment on the market.

Gantry cranes are an improved version of bridge cranes, designed for material handling in outdoor yards or other external areas. The metal structure resembles a door frame, with a support leg at each end of the main girder that travels along ground rails. The ends of the main girder also function as cantilever beams. Due to their high space utilization, large working radius, and versatility, gantry cranes are widely used in ports and factories.

Different gantry crane models suit distinct applications. Select the appropriate type and model based on your specific requirements.

Bridge cranes excel in space utilization and precise operation, making them ideal for internal material handling in most small to medium-sized factories. Gantry cranes, with their high lifting capacity and broad adaptability, are the preferred choice for heavy-duty factories and complex operational scenarios. By clearly defining production types, assessing site conditions, and specifying operational requirements, new factory facilities can select cranes that are both highly functional and durable, laying a solid foundation for material handling in subsequent production operations.
