An overhead crane is a type of crane that is used overhead and is usually placed up high on ceilings or walls in large industrial spaces such as factories and workshops etc. It works with a hook and line mechanism that runs along a horizontal beam. This beam runs along two widely separated rails, these are what will be fixed to the walls or ceiling. Overhead cranes tend to consist of a single or double beam construction depending on the weight that it will be required to lift. An overhead crane will have a hoist to lift the items, a bridge that will span the area covered by the cranes and a trolley to move along the bridge.
There are different manufactures of overhead cranes and many different suppliers where you can purchase them from. New overhead cranes will come with a warranty so if anything fails you will be covered for a period of time.
