Curious about how these cranes are used in workshops? Below, you’ll find our overhead cranes in action, tackling a range of lifting tasks in customers’ workshops.
How Our Overhead Cranes Are Used in Different Workshop Environments
Metal Fabrication Shops
In metal fabrication, shop overhead cranes are indispensable. They are used for lifting and moving large metal pieces, such as steel plates, beams, and other raw materials, which are often too heavy to be moved manually.

- Type: AQ-QDX double girder
- Load Capacity: 10 ton
- Application: Lifting and moving steel beams, coils and other steel products
Machinery Manufacturing Workshops
Manufacturing workshops, especially those producing heavy machinery, automotive parts, or industrial equipment, rely heavily on overhead cranes to transport materials and components throughout the production process. These cranes help streamline operations by allowing workers to move large or heavy items from one workstation to another, improving efficiency and reducing the risk of injury.

- Type: AQ-HD single girder
- Load Capacity: 10 ton & 16 ton
- Application: Lifting and moving machinery components
Precast Concrete Workshops
Precast concrete workshops use overhead cranes extensively to move heavy molds, large concrete beams, and pre-assembled components. These cranes are vital for lifting and positioning molds that are filled with concrete for curing, allowing for precise control over the entire process.

- Type: AQ-LH double girder
- Load Capacity: 20 ton
- Application: Lifting precast concrete panels
Metal Smelting Workshops
Foundries and metal smelting workshops involve the process of melting and shaping metals, which often requires moving large metal molds, ingots, or other heavy items. Overhead cranes in these workshops are essential for handling the intense weight of materials and ensuring that safety standards are met.

- Type: AQ-YZ double girder
- Load Capacity: 125 ton
- Application: Lifting the scrap steel trough and feeding the scrap steel into the furnace
Repair and Maintenance Shops
In repair and maintenance workshops, overhead shop cranes are used to lift heavy machinery, equipment, or tools that require fixing or servicing. They are essential for lifting engines, generators, or large industrial machinery that would otherwise be difficult to move.

- Type: AQ-NLH double girder
- Load Capacity: 32 ton
- Span: 14m
- Lifting Height: 10m
- Application: Maintaining and repairing mining equipment
Paper Production Workshops
In paper manufacturing workshops, overhead cranes are used to move large bales of raw pulp to the pulping machines, as well as to transfer chemical additives and other materials that are critical to the paper-making process. The cranes also play a vital role in handling the large rolls of finished paper, ensuring that they are moved from the production line to storage or shipping areas with precision.

- Type: AQ-NLH double girder
- Load Capacity: 20 ton
- Span: 16.5m
- Application: Lifting materials during paper production, corrugated cardboard production, and box production
How to Select an Overhead Crane for Your Workshop
When selecting an overhead crane for workshop, it’s essential to focus not only on its technical specifications but also on how it interacts with the specific environment of your workshop. Here is a guide on how to select a crane tailored to your workshop environment.
Workshop Space and Layout
- Ceiling Height: The height of your workshop ceiling will directly affect the crane’s lifting height and design. If you have a low ceiling, a single girder crane might be more suitable as it takes up less vertical space than a double girder crane. For higher ceilings, a double girder crane can provide greater lifting capacity and versatility.
- Floor Space: Overhead shop cranes travel on tracks, so you must ensure there’s sufficient floor space to accommodate the crane’s movement. A clear path is essential for the crane to function without interference. Consider whether the layout needs to be adjusted to optimize crane movement and access to all areas of your workshop.
- Aisle Width and Crane Span: The span of the crane refers to the distance between the rails on which it moves. Make sure the span is wide enough to cover your workshop’s entire operational area. Additionally, check that there’s enough space between workstations, machinery, or storage areas for the crane to operate efficiently without obstruction.
Environmental Conditions (Temperature, Dust, and Moisture)
- Temperature Extremes: In workshops where high or low temperatures are common, you should select a crane designed to handle these extremes. This includes motors and components that can function effectively in harsh temperatures without risk of malfunction.
- Dust and Particulate Matter: Workshops involved in sanding, cutting, or grinding materials often generate dust and debris, which can affect crane performance. In such environments, it’s advisable to choose cranes with enclosed components or special coatings that prevent dust buildup and protect electrical systems.
- Moisture and Corrosive Materials: For workshops that handle materials exposed to moisture or chemicals, selecting a crane with corrosion-resistant coatings or stainless steel components is vital. This will prevent rust and extend the crane’s lifespan.
Weight and Load Characteristics
- Material Types: Workshops often handle materials such as metal sheets, components, or heavy machinery. Choose an EOT crane with a lifting capacity that matches the heaviest load you expect to lift in your workshop. This will ensure the crane operates safely and efficiently.
- Load Movement: Depending on your workshop’s operations, you may need a crane that offers precise load movement. If your workshop requires fine-tuned positioning of materials, such as during assembly or repairs, consider a crane with advanced control features like anti-sway or slow-speed options.
Noise and Vibration Control
- Low-Noise Operation: Look for cranes that are designed for low-noise operation, especially in environments where soundproofing is a concern, such as in precision engineering or electronics assembly workshops. Quiet motors and smooth crane movements can reduce the overall noise level.
- Vibration Dampening Systems: If your workshop requires high-speed crane operation or deals with heavy materials, cranes with vibration-dampening systems can reduce the amount of shock transferred to the structure of the workshop, preserving both the crane and the building’s integrity.
