What is an industrial overhead crane?

An industrial overhead crane, also known as a bridge crane, is a type of crane commonly used in manufacturing and industrial settings. It consists of a horizontal beam or girder that is supported by two or more vertical columns or pillars, and a trolley that runs along the length of the beam. The trolley can be fitted with a hoist, which is used to lift and move heavy objects within the working area of the crane. Industrial overhead cranes are designed to handle heavy loads that are beyond the capacity of human workers, and they are typically used for tasks such as loading and unloading heavy equipment, moving raw materials, and assembling large structures. They are an essential piece of equipment for many industrial operations and are used in a wide range of industries, including construction, mining, and manufacturing.
