Types of Steel Frame Structures For You To Choose
There are two main types of steel building construction offered by our company.
Heavy steel structure
This metal structure is ideal for erecting heavy industrial buildings. It is super-quick to build at site and can last for decades. This structural form can be designed for different purposes, such as to process, design, store or distribute materials.
Light steel structure
The light steel construction is a new type of building construction that is perfect for small buildings. It uses thin sheets of steel, which can effectively utilize the building space and reduce the height of the facility. What’s more, it is more economical than other structural forms.
Overhead Crane System Designed For Your Facility
If you require multiple overhead crane systems installing inside your facility, the crane supporting steel structures will be needed, such as runway beams and supporting columns. The frame structure can be designed to be single span, double span or multi span. The overall dimension depends on your requirements.
When installing an overhead crane inside the building, you should specify the desired crane specifications first, such as the rated load capacity, lifting height, span, work duty, etc. We supply a variety of overhead bridge cranes to suit your lifting requirements, ranging from small capacity light duty overhead cranes to large capacity heavy duty overhead cranes. These cranes can be designed for general lifting purposes as well as special lifting applications.

Learn About The Components of Crane Steel Structures
The metal structure is used for almost every type of structure, such as heavy industrial buildings and equipment support systems. It is made of various structural steel components, which connect with each other to carry loads. These steel sections can be made to take any kind of shapes, sizes and gauges by hot or cold rolling. The structure consists of several components, including the primary components, secondary components and envelop materials.
Primary Components
The primary components include steel columns, steel beams, wind-resistant columns and runway beams. The columns and beams are prefabricated at the factory through cutting, punching, assembly, welding, correction, shot blasting and painting. They are the main load-bearing member of the structure. The material can be Q235B or Q345B.
The runway beams are used for supporting the crane track. If you need to install an overhead crane in the building, a few things should be considered in the design of the structure, including the crane rated load capacity, lifting height, span, lifting speed, work duty and hook coverage so as to make sure the structure is sturdy enough to support the crane and runway systems.
Secondary Components
The secondary components consist of purlins (C-shaped, Z-shaped), purlin braces, bracing systems (horizontal and vertical bracing).
Purlins are used to support the wall and roof panels. The thickness can be 2.5mm or 3mm. C-shaped purlins are the most commonly used type, while Z-shaped purlins are ideally suited to large slope roof. Braces are used to keep the lateral stability of the purlins.
Horizontal and vertical bracing systems are used to guarantee the overall stability of the structure.
Envelop Materials
Color steel tile and sandwich panels are available for you to choose from.
Color steel tile is a kind of pressure plate that is rolled and cold-formed into various wave shapes by means of color-coated steel plate. The thickness is usually 0.8mm or less.
Color steel sandwich panel is made of upper and lower metal panels and a polymer insulation in the middle layer. It feature light weight, easy installation and environmental protection. The thickness can be 50mm, 75mm, 100mm and 150mm.
Another insulation method can be a combination of single layer color steel plate, insulation cotton and steel wire mesh.
Other Options
Fire resistance– fire-retardant coatings are generally applied to the surface of the structure to enhance the fire endurance of the component.
Water proof – the sealant or welding treatment is taken at the joint of the plate to prevent seepage. Besides, it is better to use a long plate to eliminate lap joints.
Sound & heat insulation – fill the soundproofing material inside metal roofing, and apply heat-reflective coating on the metal plate surface.
Ventilation – for general buildings, the fan and clerestory are used. While for a large-span high steel structure building, it is better to install a large exhaust fan on the roof.
Lighting – install lighting panels or lighting glass at specific locations on the roof.

Steel structure is the best choice for industrial buildings for the following reasons:
- Wide range of applications. It can be applied to factories, warehouses, industrial sheds, office buildings, hangars, etc. It is not only suitable for single-story large-span buildings, but also for the construction of multi-story or high-rise buildings.
- Easy construction and short construction period. All components are prefabricated in the factory, and then assembled on site, which greatly shortens the construction period.
- Great durability. Crane steel structures can withstand harsh weather and require simple maintenance.
- Reasonable cost. The steel structure building has light weight and fast construction speed, which can be completed and put into use as soon as possible. Therefore, the overall economic benefits are far superior to concrete structure buildings.
The connections used in steel structure include weld connection and bolt connection.
Weld Connection:
The heat generated by the arc causes the welding rod and the weldment to be partially melted, and the weldment is condensed into a weld after cooling, thereby connecting the weldment into a whole.
The advantages of weld connection: it does not weaken the section of the component and saves steel. It is easy to manufacture, has high connection rigidity, good sealing performance and high production efficiency.
Bolt Connection:
The components are connected together by bolts. There are two types of bolt connection: ordinary bolt connection and high-strength bolt connection.
The advantages of bolt connection: simple construction process, convenient installation and disassembly.
After the steel structures are installed, the owner can’t change the structure, remove any bolts and other parts, and add or reduce the partition wall without permission. If you need to change any part, you must negotiate with the crane steel structures manufacturer, and the manufacturer can judge whether it can be changed.
- The steel structure workshop must be cleaned and maintained regularly. Under normal circumstances, it needs to be inspected and maintained once a year.
- If the surface of the metal plate is damaged, it should be repaired in time to prevent the surface from being corroded by the sun and rain.
- The branches, leaves and other items on the steel structure workshop should be cleaned up in time to avoid unnecessary trouble caused by the backlog.
- The steel structures should be painted after being used for about 3 years to ensure the beauty and safety of the building.
- When using electrical equipment such as wires, you should use wire ducts for isolation to avoid electric shock accidents.
The maintenance of steel structure has a great influence on its service life, so the owner should pay enough attention to it. If you encounter any problems in maintenance, you should contact a professional steel structure manufacturer for help.
