Overhead Traveling Crane Overview:

• An overhead traveling crane, also known as a bridge crane, is commonly used for industrial load lifting.

• They are fully electrically operated by a control pendant, radio/IR remote or from a cabin attached to the crane itself.

• The basic types of overhead traveling cranes can include top running cranes, under running cranes, single girder bridge cranes and double girder bridge cranes.

• Overhead traveling cranes are generally engineered in four common configurations. You will find on overhead cranes that they have a highly detailed control system, which is specific to performing day to day tasks with the overhead crane.

• The controls on an overhead traveling crane are the crane pendant, radio remote control, power supply, enclosures.
