TYPES OF EOT Crane (ELECTRIC OVERHEAD CRANES)

There are assortments of types of overhead cranes with many being extremely specialized, but the vast majority of installations fall into one of three categories: a) Top running single girder bridge cranes, b) Top running double girder bridge cranes and c) Under-running single girder bridge cranes. EOT Crane full name is Electric Overhead Traveling crane which come in various types:

1)    Single girder cranes - The crane consists of a single bridge girder supported on two end trucks. It has a trolley hoist mechanism that runs on the bottom flange of the bridge girder.

2)    Double Girder Bridge Cranes – This type of EOT crane consists of two bridge girders supported on two end trucks. The trolley runs on rails on the top of the bridge girders.

3) Gantry Cranes - These cranes are essentially the same as the regular overhead cranes except that the bridge for carrying the trolley or trolleys is rigidly supported on two or more legs running on fixed rails or other runway. These “legs” eliminate the supporting runway and column system and connect to end trucks which run on a rail either embedded in, or laid on top of, the floor.

4)    Monorail - For some applications such as production assembly line or service line, only a trolley hoist is required. The hoisting mechanism is similar to a single girder crane with a difference that the crane doesn’t have a movable bridge and the hoisting trolley runs on a fixed girder. Monorail beams are usually I-beams (tapered beam flanges).
