What is a overhead cranes and hoists?

 An overhead crane or hoist is a type of crane that is mounted on an overhead track or bridge structure. The primary purpose of an overhead crane or hoist is to lift, move, and transport heavy loads over a limited area. 

Some key features of overhead cranes and hoists include:


- Overhead Bridge Structure: The crane or hoist is mounted on a bridge or support structure that spans the area where loads need to be moved. This allows the crane to access a wide area without having to move the entire unit.


- Trolley and Hoist: The crane has a trolley that can move along the bridge or support structure, and a hoist mechanism that can raise, lower, and move the load.


- Motorized Operation: Overhead cranes and hoists are typically motorized, allowing for precise and controlled load movements. This is in contrast to manual hoists.


- Heavy Lifting Capacity: Overhead cranes can be designed to lift very heavy loads, often in the range of several tons or more.


- Efficient Load Movement: By utilizing the overhead bridge, overhead cranes can efficiently move loads across a facility without obstructing the working area below.


Overhead cranes and hoists are commonly used in industrial settings such as manufacturing plants, warehouses, and construction sites where heavy materials and equipment need to be lifted and transported. Their overhead design helps maximize the usable floor space compared to other crane types.
