Our ceiling mounted light cranes are the perfect solution for scenarios where floor space is limited. These ceiling systems can be suspended directly from or dropped down from you existing ceiling or building support structure, with a range of suspension fixings available to fit virtually any roof structure. One of the main advantages of ceiling mounted light crane systems is that premium floor space is kept free of supporting stanchions, providing users with free movement underneath the light crane. Available in working capacities up to 2 tonnes, you can select a crane with a bridge span of up to 12m. Our ceiling mounted light crane systems are also available in zinc-plated, powder-coated, hot-dip galvanised, and stainless steel materials, making them ideal for an extensive range of operating environments. Additionally, light cranes require very little maintenance and boast exceedingly long lifecycles. NOTE: The roof support points must be tested and approved by a structural engineer to ensure they can sustain the weight of the load and light crane. Interested in a light crane system? Use the form below and provide us with as much information as possible using the specification guide next to the form. LIGHT CRANE CONFIGURATIONS Light crane systems conventionally consist of two runway tracks that run parallel with a suspended bridge. The bridge enables a chain hoist (or alternative lifting device) to be suspended and travel from side to side along the bridge. The bridge can typically be travelled both forwards and backwards, along the runway track, allowing operators to lift, move, and lower loads anywhere within the working footprint of your crane system. Additionally, it is possible to have multiple light crane bridges suspended from the same runway tracks. Single Girder Single girder cranes are the most common type of light crane systems, and feature a single track bridge rail. The main advantage of this type of system is that it offers the widest travel distance along the bridge and across the runway tracks. Double Girder Double girder light cranes feature a twin track bridge rail with the hoist suspended so that the weight of the load is carried evenly across both rails. The main advantage of double girder light cranes is that they offer a wider span between the runways than a single girder equivalent. It is also possible to add an intermediate runway beam and enable an even longer bridge length. Low-Headroom Low-headroom light cranes feature a double girder bridge with a raised suspension section for mounting the hoist or alterative lifting device. These systems offers the lowest available headroom solution on the market. As a standard, the hoist is suspended within 100mm of the crane support point and in some instances even less. The main advantage of Low-headroom light cranes is that they provide a lifting solution in confined spaces where overhead lifting would not normally be possible. Monorails Monorails feature an independent track rail with a trolley that can be used to suspend a hoist or alternative lifting apparatus. The hoist can then travel forward and back along the full length of the rail. Monorails consist of an assembly of straight track sections, curved track bends, junction switches and turn tables. The junction switches and turn table enable a change in direction, allowing the hoist trolley to follow different travel paths. Sliding Cantilever Beams Sliding cantilever beams are used to enable lifting outside of the normal working footprint of a light crane or monorail system. They feature an underslung cantilever section suspended from a light crane bridge, monorail track or crane runway rails. The cantilever section can then travel past the confines of the suspending rail and enable lifting outside of the normal lifting footprint. This type of system is the ideal solution for lifting and moving a load in and out of containers; or for cranes that need to avoid obstacles within the working area.
