EOT Cranes for Industrial Applications

Explore electric overhead travelling crane configurations for factories, workshops, and industrial material handling. Find the right starting point for your lifting capacity, span, height, and operating requirements.

Final crane specifications should be confirmed through a project-specific technical assessment.

Plan Your Crane System

Start with the right specifications

A suitable overhead crane begins with a clear understanding of the load, workspace, lifting height, operating conditions, and installation requirements.

  • Lifting capacity and load characteristics
  • Building span and available headroom
  • Hoist, trolley, and travel requirements
  • Electrical controls and safety provisions

Product Overview

Overhead Crane Solutions for Material Handling

Electric Overhead Travelling cranes are used to lift and move materials across designated work areas. They can support workflows such as loading, unloading, production, assembly, fabrication, and equipment maintenance.

The right arrangement depends on the building layout, load requirements, operating frequency, available headroom, and the conditions in which the crane will operate.

Designed around your application

Review the load, span, lifting height, duty requirements, and installation environment before selecting a configuration.

Crane Configurations

Explore EOT Crane Types

Compare common overhead crane arrangements and identify which options may suit your facility. The final configuration depends on a detailed technical review.

01

Single Girder EOT Cranes

A practical option for many light- to medium-duty material handling applications. The appropriate design depends on span, lifting capacity, duty cycle, and building conditions.

  • Compact crane configuration
  • Suitable for many workshop environments
  • Capacity and span selected for the application

02

Double Girder EOT Cranes

Designed for applications that may require higher lifting capacities, longer spans, or particular hook-height and duty requirements.

  • Two main girders
  • Options for suitable hoist or trolley arrangements
  • Designed around project requirements

Industrial Applications

Where Are EOT Cranes Used?

Overhead cranes help move loads through designated industrial areas without relying solely on floor-level material handling equipment. Their suitability depends on the layout, load, operating conditions, and required lifting movements.

Manufacturing plants and production lines
Engineering and fabrication workshops
Automotive and component manufacturing
Warehouses and industrial storage facilities
Steel, metalworking, and heavy engineering
Assembly, maintenance, and material handling areas

Selection Guide

How to Choose the Right EOT Crane

Crane selection is a technical decision. Review these important factors with a qualified professional before finalizing the crane design or ordering equipment.

FACTOR 01

Lifting Capacity

Identify the maximum load to be lifted, including the weight of lifting attachments where applicable.

FACTOR 02

Span and Runway

Measure the distance between runway rails and review the available building structure and supporting arrangement.

FACTOR 03

Lifting Height

Determine the required hook height, headroom, and clearance for the materials being handled.

FACTOR 04

Duty Classification

Consider operating frequency, load spectrum, working hours, and the applicable crane duty requirements.

FACTOR 05

Operating Environment

Review temperature, dust, moisture, indoor or outdoor use, and any special environmental requirements.

FACTOR 06

Controls and Power

Assess the electrical supply, pendant or radio control preferences, travel requirements, and control-panel needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

EOT Crane FAQs

What is an EOT crane?

An Electric Overhead Travelling (EOT) crane is a powered lifting system that moves a load horizontally along an overhead runway while raising or lowering it using a hoist.

What is the difference between a single girder and a double girder EOT crane?

A single girder crane uses one main bridge girder, while a double girder crane uses two. The suitable configuration depends on lifting capacity, span, headroom, duty cycle, and project conditions.

How do I select the right EOT crane capacity?

Start with the heaviest load to be handled and consider lifting attachments, operating frequency, load characteristics, span, lifting height, and applicable design requirements. A qualified crane professional should verify the final selection.

Can an EOT crane be installed in an existing factory?

It may be possible, depending on the available headroom, runway arrangement, building structure, power supply, and access for installation. The site should be assessed before finalizing a design.

What maintenance does an EOT crane require?

Maintenance may include inspection of the hoist, wire rope or chain, brakes, hooks, wheels, travel mechanisms, electrical controls, limit devices, and other components according to the manufacturer's instructions and applicable requirements.

How can I request an EOT crane quotation?

Contact Indian Crane and Components with your required lifting capacity, span, lifting height, application, site location, and any existing drawings or specifications. These details help establish the project requirements for review.
