Hoists and overhead cranes come in all sizes, from workstation hoists that lift 250 kg to double gantry cranes that can lift 200 tons or more. From 5-10 ton, hoists and overhead cranes can reasonably be considered to perform heavy lifting. We have the solutions for all your needs.
PONT ROULANT PROTECH has been designing, manufacturing, installing and maintaining lifting devices in the likes of overhead cranes for 30 years. As a major player in the Quebec industry, Pont Roulant Protech has the expertise and the adequate installations to offer lifting devices up to 250T and with spans exceeding 125 feet. The company continues to grow in its field of expertise based on strategic approaches oriented on the needs and expectations of its customers.
Its lifting devices are generally used in heavy machine shops, mines, aeronautics, metal fabrication and transformation plants, steel warehouses, paper mills, maintenance plants for public transportation and various industrial buildings.
High-capacity Overhead Crane
Cranes with lifting capacities above 50T are not simply an improved version of a smaller crane. Other considerations apply. For example, the size of the crane girder depending on the load weight and span. The working capacity of a heavy-duty overhead crane must withstand higher duty cycles and possibly a higher percentage of high-capacity lifts. In this case, manufacturers must provide stronger mechanical and electrical components.
A single girder design can be used for capacities up to about 25T. If you are lifting more than that, a double beam or box girder with top bearing is more suitable. But switching from a double beam to a twin beam instantly implies a leap in complexity and price. To make the right choice, it is therefore essential to be accompanied by a company with a good understanding of your needs and your environment.
