What is a bridge crane?

A bridge crane is a fixed often consisting of two parallel runways that support a horizontal beam.  They come in many sizes and designs but the concept is roughly the same.  A bridge crane gives vertical lift and provides some movement within the frame of the bridge. The frame of the bridge is the areas created by the width of the beam and the length of parallel runways.  Bridge Cranes can be fixed to a building, have stand alone supports or even be on wheels for ease of maneuver. 

Overhead bridge crane

Overhead bridge cranes are a common design with two runners and a cross beam upon which is mounted a hoist often controlled through chains, cables or hydraulics.  The hoist provide vertical lift.

Telescopic bridge crane

A telescopic bridge crane is a specialist overhead bridge crane type. This type is often used in manufacturing.  The telescopic section is within the horizontal beam.  The telescopic action enables the crane to extend beyond the standard frame dimensions of the runways and the cross beam.  This creates the ability to reach and means that the distance of the crane can be increased meaning more flexibility for vertical lift and reach within the jobsite.
