Bridge crane is one of the most widely used and popular types of cranes among customers.
The bridge crane is used for material lifting above workshops, warehouses, and material yards, with its two ends located on tall cement columns or metal supports, resembling a bridge. It has the following significant advantages:
Widely applicable industries:
In the steel metallurgy industry, it can lift high-temperature or heavy materials such as steel ingots and plates; In the mechanical manufacturing industry, it can be used for assembling large equipment and handling molds; In the automotive manufacturing industry, body panels can be transported in the stamping workshop; In the energy and power industry, it can be used for installing or repairing boilers, turbines, etc; In the logistics and warehousing industry, it is possible to load and unload containers at ports, and store heavy goods on high-level shelves in large warehouses.

Outstanding performance advantages:
Bridge cranes usually have a large span, usually 6-35 meters, which can cover the entire workshop or warehouse, reduce material handling dead corners, and have strong bearing capacity. The large tonnage can reach more than 500 tons, which can meet the lifting needs of various heavy objects. In addition, its operational accuracy is high. For example, in the field of new energy, it can accurately lift wind turbine blades with an error controlled within ± 2mm.

Good cost-effectiveness:
The efficiency and cost of bridge cranes are relatively suitable. For example, one 10 ton crane is approximately equivalent to the workload of five workers and two forklifts, which can effectively save labor costs and improve production efficiency.

However, mobile cranes, gantry cranes, etc. also have their own wide range of application scenarios and reasons for popularity. Mobile cranes have good maneuverability and can easily transfer sites, making them suitable for lifting large and medium-sized equipment and components with heavy individual weights. Portal cranes have the characteristics of high site utilization, large operating range, wide adaptability, and strong universality, and are widely used in port cargo yards.
