Understanding Crane Light to Medium Duty Classifications
The FEM (Fédération Européenne de la Manutention) standard classifies cranes based on their mechanical duty – that is, how often and how intensively a crane is used. This classification helps match the crane’s design to its expected working conditions. The FEM standard is widely used in Europe and internationally, and it categorizes cranes using two main factors:
- Load Spectrum (How heavy the typical loads are compared to max load)
- Operating Time (How frequently the crane is used daily)
Based on these, overhead bridge cranes are assigned a mechanism group, typically expressed as A1 to A8, with A3-A5 commonly used for light to medium duty overhead cranes.
A3 Duty Class – Light Duty Overhead Bridge Crane
- Typical Use: Infrequent operations, occasional full-capacity lifts.
- Load Handling: Mostly light loads; max load used rarely.
- Daily Operating Time: Low (about 1-2 hours of active operation/day).
- Common Applications: Maintenance bays, light assembly tasks, warehouses with minimal lifting frequency.
- Design Features: Economical and simple design, limited mechanical wear and tear, not suitable for continuous or high-frequency lifting.
A4 Duty Class – Moderate Duty Overhead Bridge Crane
- Typical Use: More frequent operations than A3.
- Load Handling: Mixture of light and medium loads, with occasional full loads.
- Daily Operating Time: Moderate (about 2-4 hours/day).
- Common Applications: Machine shops, fabrication workshops, low-volume production areas.
- Design Features: Stronger components than A3, better suited for semi-regular lifting tasks, balanced between performance and cost.
A5 Duty Class – Medium Duty Overhead Bridge Crane
- Typical Use: Frequent operation, moderate loads, regular full-capacity lifts.
- Load Handling: Mixed load weights; full capacity used often.
- Daily Operating Time: High (4-8 hours/day).
- Common Applications: Manufacturing plants, steel structure workshops, medium-volume production environments
- Design Features: Robust construction for extended daily use, higher-performance hoist and travel mechanisms, ideal for handling heavier loads regularly and efficiently.
Why This Matters for Your Overhead Crane Selection
Choosing the correct duty class (A3-A5) ensures that your 5 to to 25 ton bridge crane:
- Matches your daily lifting demands
- Delivers safe and reliable performance
- Avoids premature wear or failure
- Maximizes cost-efficiency over its lifecycle

Key Factors Affecting the Price of 5-25 Ton Overhead Cranes
Lifting Capacity
It is the most straightforward determinant of light duty overhead crane price. As the capacity increases, so does the cost. For instance, a 5 ton bridge crane for sale will generally cost significantly less than a 20 ton overhead crane for sale due to the difference in the materials and components required to handle heavier loads.
Span and Lifting Height
The span (the distance between the runway rails) and the lifting height (the maximum height the crane can lift a load) also significantly impact the price. A wider span and higher lifting height require more robust construction and more powerful motors, increasing the overall cost.
Work Duty
A 15 ton overhead crane designed for higher duty cycles (such as A5 classification) is built with more durable components to handle frequent and heavy use, which increases the overall cost. While a lower duty 15 ton bridge crane (like A3 or A4) is typically more affordable but not suitable for demanding industrial environments.
Crane Type
Single girder cranes are typically more cost-effective than double girder cranes. Double girder cranes, though more expensive, offer greater lifting height and load stability, making them suitable for higher capacity needs within the 5-25 ton range.
Custom Features and Specifications
Customized features such as anti-sway mechanisms, specialized hooks, or custom-built crane controls can add to the cost. Additionally, cranes tailored to fit specific dimensions or unique operational needs may require special engineering, further increasing the overhead crane price.
Materials and Components
The quality and type of materials used in constructing the crane, including the steel for the girders and the components for the hoist and trolley, will also affect the price. Imported quality components, though more expensive, offer better durability, reliability, and a longer lifespan.
