Two-Speed Overhead Crane 16 Ton | Precision Handling, CE-Compliant, Customizable

Product Overview

The Two-Speed Single Girder Overhead Crane is an advanced material handling solution engineered for applications requiring both high-speed movement and precise load positioning. With a nominal capacity of 16 tons, this crane is equipped with dual-speed motors for lifting and traveling, allowing operators to switch between a fast speed for efficiency and a slow speed for careful handling. It travels along an elevated runway system, providing full lifting coverage over the workspace. This makes it an ideal choice for manufacturing, assembly, and maintenance operations where control and safety are paramount.

Product Advantages

  • Precision Handling: The standard two-speed control on lifting and travel motors allows for fast-to-slow transitions, enabling precise load placement, reduced shock, and safer handling of delicate or heavy equipment.
  • Enhanced Productivity: Operators can use the high-speed setting for long-distance travel and quick lifts, then switch to low speed for final positioning, optimizing cycle times without compromising safety.
  • Cost-Effective & Space-Saving: The single girder design is inherently lighter and more economical than double girder alternatives, reducing structural requirements on the building while maximizing floor space by keeping it clear.
  • Reliable & Durable: Built with high-quality core components, including robust motors and proven electrical systems from leading brands, ensuring dependable performance and a long service life with minimal maintenance.
  • Comprehensive Safety: Comes standard with a full suite of safety features, including dual-speed limit switches, overload protection, and an emergency stop system, ensuring secure operation for both the load and personnel.

Application Scenarios

  • Heavy Equipment Assembly: Precisely joining large components where careful alignment is critical, such as in aerospace or heavy machinery manufacturing.
  • Die and Mold Handling: Safely and accurately placing heavy dies into stamping presses or molds into injection molding machines, minimizing the risk of damage.
  • Maintenance & Repair Bays: Lifting and positioning engines, turbines, and other large machinery with the control needed for delicate service operations.
  • Steel Fabrication: Handling large steel plates and structural components that require careful maneuvering to prevent damage and ensure worker safety.
  • Advanced Manufacturing: Supporting operations in facilities where both speed and precision are required for a streamlined production workflow.
