An overhead crane, also known as a bridge crane, is a critical piece of lifting equipment used in industrial facilities to handle heavy materials. It runs along overhead tracks, enabling precise movement of loads in three directions—longitudinal, transverse, and vertical—across the entire work area.At MOTCRANE, overhead cranes are not standardized products. Each system is designed based on specific project requirements, taking into account factors such as workshop layout, available installation space, and frequency of use. Based on these conditions, we recommend single-girder or double-girder structures and select remote control, cab, or intelligent control solutions according to actual operational needs, while matching the appropriate lifting capacity, span, and duty class to ensure the equipment is suited to the specific working conditions.
Only by fully considering actual operating conditions and usage requirements can a bridge crane system achieve stable operation, efficient material handling, and long-term reliability. In actual engineering projects, installation space is often the key factor determining the solution. For example, in one project, the client originally planned to install a 20-ton double-girder bridge crane, but the available installation height on-site was only approximately 1.3 meters, which did not meet the requirements for a double-girder structure. Consequently, the solution was adjusted to a single-girder crane. Such cases of optimizing structural configurations due to space constraints are relatively common in the retrofitting of existing factory buildings.
We help you keep the project cost under control without sacrificing reliability.
An overhead crane is not a short-term investment. We focus on selecting the right components and configurations to ensure consistent performance over many years of operation—not just at the time of delivery.
The specific conditions of each workshop vary, so crane designs must fully account for on-site realities. We tailor our solutions based on available space, layout constraints, and specific lifting requirements. Whether for new construction projects or upgrades to existing facilities, we are committed to providing practical and feasible solutions.
Overhead cranes are available in different types based on design, capacity, and working conditions. Each type suits specific workshop layouts and applications. Explore the common options below to find the right solution.

In November 2025, MOTCRANE successfully completed 3 set of 3ton
5-ton single girder overhead crane crossed the ocean and successfully
A customer from Kenya recently inquired about a 3-ton single-girder
The 3ton single girder overhead crane works very smoothly and the quality is excellent. The configuration was well matched to our workshop requirements and installation support was very helpful.
Production Manager
We purchased 11 set of double girder crane for our precast plant. The equipment is reliable and has improved our material handling efficiency significantly.
CEO
The 10ton Double girder overhead crane design was well adapted to our factory layout. The communication during the project was clear and the delivery was on time.

How to Select a 30-Ton Hydraulic Gantry Crane for Industrial

What Is a Hydraulic Gantry Crane? – Lifting Heavy Loads
Overhead Crane Selection Guide
Selecting the right overhead crane is essential for safe and efficient material handling.
Factors such as lifting capacity, span, lifting height, and duty class should be carefully evaluated based on your workshop conditions.A properly selected crane improves productivity, reduces maintenance costs, and ensures long-term operational reliability.
Single girder cranes are generally used for lighter loads(≤20 Ton) and smaller spans. Double girder cranes are better suited for heavier lifting capacities(3-200 Ton), higher lifting heights, and more demanding working conditions.
Crane capacity should be selected based on the maximum load to be lifted, lifting frequency, and actual working conditions. It is also important to consider future production needs rather than only current requirements.
Yes. In many cases, overhead cranes can be installed in existing workshops with proper structural evaluation and installation planning. The final solution depends on available space, building layout, and load-bearing conditions.
A basic quotation usually requires lifting capacity, span, lifting height, power supply, and workshop layout. If available, drawings or photos of the site can also help improve quotation accuracy.
Top running cranes travel on rails installed on top of runway beams and are commonly used for higher capacities and larger spans. Under running cranes are suspended from the building structure and are usually more suitable for lighter-duty applications or space-limited workshops.
