1. Overhead Traveling Crane Introduction
Overhead traveling crane is a lifting equipment that is horizontally mounted over workshops, warehouses, and material yards for material lifting. Due to its two ends located on tall cement columns or metal supports, resembling a bridge, it is called an overhead traveling crane.
The bridge of the overhead traveling crane runs longitudinally along the rails laid on both sides of the elevated structure, making full use of the space under the bridge to lift materials without being obstructed by ground equipment. It is the most widely used and numerous type of lifting machinery.
Kingda crane has served industrial community by providing high-quality crane and service with more than 4,500 employees, 1.62 million M3 workshop and 3500 sets intelligent manufacturing facility. Our product covers electric hoist, overhead crane, gantry crane, grab crane, casting/ladle crane, electromagnet crane, anti-explosion crane, cleaning room crane and their spare parts.
Here, we will have a detailed introduction to the kinds of Kingda overhead traveling crane.
2. Overhead Traveling Crane Classification
2.1 Single girder overhead crane
2.1.1 Headroom single girder overhead traveling crane
This crane is a new type of crane that our company has introduced and digested advanced foreign technology, guided by modular design theory and modern computer technology. Kingda headroom single girder overhead traveling crane introduces optimization design and reliability design methods. It is completed with imported configurations, new materials, and new processes, and is lightweight, universal, energy-saving, environmentally friendly, maintenance free, and high-tech.
The main beam and end beam are box weld structure, hoist runs on the lower flange. Main beam and end beam are connected by high-strength bolts for easy transportation and on-site installation. The lifting mechanism adopts a new type of electric hoist, which has a compact structure and is easy to maintain.

2.5 Side Hung Trolley Type Single Girder Traveling Crane
This crane consists of box weld main girder, end girder, hoisting trolley and traveling mechanism. The electric hoist is installed on the angle shaped trolley as the lifting mechanism, and the angle shaped trolley is arranged on one side of the main girder for traveling. The trolley is equipped with upper and lower flat wheels, which are arranged at three points with the vertical traveling wheel.
The position of the electric hoist has been raised from the traditional bottom of the main girder to the upper side of the main girder, effectively improving the lifting height. The hoisting trolley is driven by conical motor and open gear transmission. The main girder is box weld structure. Horizontal wheels are installed above and below the deviation rail, which is safe and reliable, and can prevent rail biting. Crane bridge travels in a separate drive, conical motor brakes and open gear transmit.
2.6 Magnet Overhead Traveling Crane
2.6.1 Overhead Traveling Crane with Slewing-Hanging beam
This crane is used for transporting black metals such as long slabs and bars, etc. Slewing is achieved in two forms: one form is the hanging beam slewing, which means the hanging beam is a double-layer structure. The upper hanging beam is wrapped with a pulley group and steel wire rope, and the lower hanging beam is equipped with multiple electromagnet or clamps, which can rotate at a certain angle with the driving mechanism.
Another form is slewing trolley, which means the trolley is a double-layer structure, with a lifting mechanism arranged on the upper trolley and a traveling mechanism on the lower trolley. A circular rail is laid on lower trolley, and the upper trolley can slew along the circular rail.

2.6.2 Magnet crane with hanging beam
This crane uses hanging beams to lift long steel billets, plates, bars, coils, and other items, equipped with magnetic chuck or clamps or special group hooks for lifting. It mainly consists of a box weld bridge, a lifting trolley, crane traveling mechanism, driver's cab and electrical control system, equipped with a power off magnetic-function keep system.
The lifting mechanism often adopts a single motor, double reducer, and double drum layout, in the form of double lifting points. The arrangement of hanging beams can be divided into two types: perpendicular to the main beam or parallel to the main beam, the remaining forms are the same as hook cranes.

2.6.3 Electromagnet Overhead Traveling Crane
The basic structure of an electromagnet overhead traveling crane is the same as that of a hook overhead crane, except that a DC lifting electromagnetic chuck is hung on the hook to lift magnetic black metal and its products. The AC power is converted into DC power through a thyristor DC box installed in the driver's cab, and then the DC power is sent to the electromagnetic chuck through a dedicated cable reel installed on the trolley.

2.7 Double Trolley Overhead Traveling Crane
The difference between a double girder trolley overhead traveling crane and a hook overhead traveling crane lies in the installation of two hoisting trolley on the main girder, which can be lifted or operated independently; When it is necessary to lift long items, synchronous lifting and running can be achieved through the conversion switch on the control console.
2.8 Grab Overhead Traveling Crane
Grab overhead traveling crane consists of box-weld bridge, grab trolley, long traveling mechanism, driver cabin and electric control system. The retrieval device is grab. Grab trolley is equipped with lifting and closing mechanism, and the grab is separately winded in the lifting and open-close drum by 4 wire rope. The open-close mechanism drives the grab to close and grab material; When the grab outlet is closed, the lifting mechanism is started immediately, make 4 wire rope having same stress and carrying out lifting action. Only open-close mechanism is under working, along gran outlet is open, the material is poured out. Except the lifting mechanism is different, the others is the same compared with hook overhead traveling crane.
