Underhung Bridge Cranes

Underhung bridge cranes offer the perfect solution when ceiling height is limited or existing structural constraints require maximum overhead space utilization. Our underhung systems suspend beneath the runway structure, providing efficient lifting capacity while preserving valuable vertical clearance.

What Are Underhung Bridge Cranes

Optimized for Space-Constrained Facilities

Underhung bridge cranes are suspended below the runway beams rather than traveling on top of them, making them ideal for facilities with low ceiling heights or irregular building structures. This design maximizes available headroom while delivering reliable overhead crane performance.

Unlike traditional top-running cranes, underhung systems attach to the bottom flange of the runway beam, allowing for optimal use of vertical space in your facility. This configuration is particularly valuable in retrofit applications where structural modifications must be minimized.

Key Benefits

Advantages of Underhung Bridge Cranes

Preserve valuable ceiling height by suspending the crane system below runway beams. Ideal for facilities with limited headroom or overhead obstructions.

Works with diverse ceiling heights and facility layouts, making it perfect for irregularly shaped workspaces and retrofit installations.

Superior load positioning with smooth bridge travel and controlled lifting operations. Reduces risk of product damage through precise load placement.

Lower structural requirements compared to top-running systems. Simplified installation process reduces project costs and timeline.

Smooth operation enables precise material handling for delicate assembly processes, production lines, and material sorting operations.
