Your first consideration is the capacity of your crane. Regardless of whether you are lifting steel coils, structural tubing, steel plates or something else, you need a crane that will handle the weight of your loads.<\/p>\n

Overhead cranes are designed and engineered to lift weights that range from 500 kg to as much as 400 tons. Your goal is to select the crane that best matches your needs of today and your anticipated needs of tomorrow. You don\u2019t want to buy less crane than you need\u2014or more crane than you need.<\/p>\n

All overhead cranes are classified according to loads and cycles. The classification governs the intensity of the loads and the number of cycles the crane completes during a given period of time.<\/p>\n

In the United States, there are six classifications:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Class A – Infrequent or Standby.<\/strong> Ideal for precise handling at slow speeds.<\/li>\n
  2. Class B – Light Service.<\/strong> Two to five lifts per hour.<\/li>\n
  3. Class C – Moderate Service.<\/strong> Perform 5 to 10 lifts per hour. Loads average 50% of the rated capacity.<\/li>\n
  4. Class D – Heavy Service.<\/strong> Perform 10 to 20 lifts per hour. Not more than 65% of the lifts at the crane\u2019s rated capacity.<\/li>\n
  5. Class E – Severe Service.<\/strong> Perform 20 of more lifts per hour at or near the rated capacity.<\/li>\n
  6. Class F – Continuous Severe Service.<\/strong> Handle loads approaching the crane\u2019s rated capacity and do so continuously, under severe service conditions (high temperatures, dusty environments).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \nOverhead cranes are a combination of crane structure and lifting mechanism (hoist).<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Top running single-girder overhead cranes.<\/strong> Give you optimal use of your available space while minimizing weight.<\/li>\n
      • Top running double-girder overhead cranes.<\/strong> Deliver greater stability when handling large loads.<\/li>\n
      • Underhung overhead cranes.<\/strong> Move loads over large spans, particularly when traditional crane runways are unavailable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Hoists are used for lifting, cross travel and long travel. They come in under-running, top-running, foot-mount and built-up designs. End trucks are available in top running, top running bogey and underhung types.<\/p>\n

        Your goal is to choose the crane structure and hoist combination that reduces hook approaches and maximizes the useful area of your facility.<\/p>\n

        Lifting and moving steel with overhead cranes is a dangerous business that requires specialty hook attachments. If you use the wrong attachments on your cranes, you take the risk that the load will shift and fall during operation. This endangers your workers and risks halting production.<\/p>\n

        There are multiple specialty hook attachments used in steel handling, each one designed to lift and move a particular type of steel.<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Steel tubes:<\/strong> C-hooks and magnet spreaders.<\/li>\n
        • Steel plates:<\/strong> Magnet beams and vacuum lifters.<\/li>\n
        • Steel coils:<\/strong> Tongs, coil magnets and C-hooks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
