Expert Overhead Crane Maintenance from Champion Hoist & Crane

There are many types of overhead cranes available to suit the needs and physical location of your facility. When choosing a crane system, consider key factors such as load requirements, crane type (EOT crane, single or double girder bridge crane, workstation crane), operational environment, and required safety features. Partnering with an experienced supplier can ensure proper crane system integration, tailored to your materials handling workflows, and guaranteed compliance with industry standards.

The critical component of every overhead crane is the hoist, which is used to lift and transport loads over long distances. Hoists come in two main varieties: chain hoists and wire rope hoists. The latter is favored for lighter applications because of its precise, true vertical lift and minimal drift, while the former is ideal for heavy lifting. Both types of hoists can be powered via electrical power, and they are controlled by advanced control systems optimized for safety, speed, and precision. Controls can be operated with push-button pendant stations or remote radio controls, and can include programmable logic controllers (PLCs), joysticks, and integration with enterprise resource planning systems. An electrical distribution system brings power to the hoist and bridge through either insulated conductor bars or festoon systems.
