Overhead Cranes
From single- to double-girder, underslung and low-headroom designs. Pick a category or send span, capacity and duty class for a fast proposal.
Overhead Cranes – Types, Budget & RFQ
Single and double girder overhead cranes, underslung and low-headroom solutions, explosion-proof and cleanroom options. Use the quick budget slider and RFQ form to get an engineered proposal fast.
Minimum information: capacity (t), span (m), lifting height (m), duty class, environment (standard indoor, outdoor, explosion proof, cleanroom, high temperature, etc.). If beams are difficult to ship, we can supply a beam-free kit so you weld girders locally.

Cleanroom
Overhead crane families
Use this as a quick overview, then scroll to the guide and budget reference.
Single girder
Economical option for light/medium duty.
Best up to ~20 t and moderate span, with standard hoist.
Double girder
For heavy duty or long span workshops.
Allows walkway, maintenance platform, auxiliary hoists.
Underslung & low-headroom
When building height is tight.
Runways under beams or ultra-compact hoists for max hook height.
Explosion-proof & cleanroom
For hazardous or controlled environments.
ATEX/IECEx, stainless steel or coated, low-particle designs.
How to choose your overhead crane?
Use this as a quick guide. Share capacity, span, lifting height, duty class and environment in the RFQ form for an accurate proposal.
| Category | Best for | When to prefer |
|---|---|---|
| Single girder | Economical, medium duty | Best budget option up to ~20 t and moderate span |
| Double girder | Heavy duty or long span | Higher stability, walkway, auxiliary hooks and higher hook height |
| Underslung | Very low building heights | Runways suspended under roof beams, limited headroom above |
| Low headroom | Maximizing hook travel | Top-running, but hook height is tight; compact hoist layout |
| Explosion proof | Hazardous areas (gas / dust zones) | Specify ATEX / IECEx, zone/class and gas group in the RFQ form |
| Cleanroom | Controlled environments | Low particle emission, stainless or coated surfaces, special sealing |
Indicative budget reference
Use this as a rough guide for internal planning. Final price depends on span, duty class, hoist type, electrics, installation scope and local-weld beam options. Share your data in the RFQ form and we’ll confirm.

*For equipment supply only (EXW/FOB level) – excludes building steel, civil works, import duties, etc. Use the RFQ form for a project-specific quotation.
How to get your overhead crane
A simple four-step path from idea to commissioning. You can jump in with an RFQ at any stage.
If beams are difficult to ship, see our dedicated page Local-weld beam solution »
Beams hard or expensive to ship?
Switch to a local-weld beam kit. We ship all crane components except the main girders and end-beam steelwork, plus interface drawings and guidance. You fabricate beams locally, assemble on site and cut freight & lead time.
- Beam-free kits for overhead, gantry and jib cranes
- Interface engineering (wheel loads, hole maps, clearances)
- Support for local fabrication, NDT and commissioning
- Oversized beams often drive freight cost and complexity.
- Local welding with engineered interfaces can meet strength and stiffness targets.
- Ideal for remote sites, tight ports or projects with strong local fabrication partners.
