Two overhead runway beams support at least one bridge that travels the length of the system. The runways may be freestanding or supported by the building&#8217;s structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bridge Crane Uses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Bridge cranes can be found in many industrial settings. Businesses often use bridge cranes in storage and warehousing applications, either to load and unload materials entering or exiting a facility or to move material to designated positions within a facility. Bridge cranes are also used frequently to move large parts or components for assembly in manufacturing applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pros of Bridge Cranes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Bridge cranes are useful for a number of reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Customization:&nbsp;<\/strong>You can customize bridge cranes with hook attachments, special material handling tools and riggings. Many bridge cranes can also be expanded after installation.<\/li><li><strong>Efficiency:&nbsp;<\/strong>Because bridge cranes travel above obstructions, so they don&#8217;t waste time navigating through obstacles.<\/li><li><strong>Large coverage area:&nbsp;<\/strong>Bridge cranes provide precise, corner-to-corner coverage over a rectangular area. Bridge crane coverage can extend as far as you can install runways\u2014even up to the full length of your facility.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cons of Bridge Cranes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Bridge cranes offer many benefits, but they are not suitable for every situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Limited capacity:&nbsp;<\/strong>Spanco Workstation Bridge Cranes are not available with capacities over 4,000 pounds, which means they are not usable for heavier lifting applications.<\/li><li><strong>Floor space:<\/strong>&nbsp;Some bridge cranes mount directly to a building&#8217;s existing support structure. However, if a building can&#8217;t support the weight of the crane and its load, multiple support columns are required, which can take up valuable floorspace.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Jib_Crane\"><\/span>2. Jib Crane<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A jib crane is a type of crane that&#8217;s intended to save space. Jib cranes are best for jobs that require repetitive movement in a small area. They&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spanco.com\/product_category\/jib-cranes\/\">come in a variety of sizes<\/a>, but all move in a circular motion with 180 to 360 degrees of rotation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jib Crane Uses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Jib cranes can be found at many different types of facilities, including factories, mines, assembly lines, docks, workshop production lines, and other situations that require frequent material handling. They&#8217;re best used for handing materials in individual workstations. You can customize your jib crane with hoists, balancers, and manipulators to ensure it fits your exact needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spanco offers hundreds of pre-engineered jib crane with capacities ranging from 100 pounds to 15 tons. All models fold out of the way of overhead cranes to make your workflow smooth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spanco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/03-pros-of-jib-cranes-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3968\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.spanco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/03-pros-of-jib-cranes-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.spanco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/03-pros-of-jib-cranes-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.spanco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/03-pros-of-jib-cranes-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.spanco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/03-pros-of-jib-cranes.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pros of Jib Cranes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Jib cranes&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spanco.com\/blog\/material-handling-basics-what-is-a-jib-crane\/\">provide a number of benefits<\/a>&nbsp;to your project and your worksite as a whole:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Higher capacity:&nbsp;<\/strong>Spanco Jib Cranes offer capacities up to 15 tons.<\/li><li><strong>Small footprint:&nbsp;<\/strong>Jib cranes swivel around a single point, meaning they only occupy a small amount of floorspace.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cons of Jib Cranes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Jib cranes also come with limitations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Smaller coverage area:&nbsp;<\/strong>Because jib cranes are supported only at a single point, a single system offers limited coverage. Even with an area 40 feet in diameter, a jib crane&#8217;s coverage is less than that of a bridge or gantry crane.<\/li><li><strong>Limited use:<\/strong>&nbsp;Jib cranes&#8217; smaller coverage area means each jib crane is typically limited to use in just one or two workstations.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Gantry_Cranes\"><\/span>3. Gantry Cranes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gantry cranes support a trolley a hoist on legs that travel on the ground. The design is comparable to a self-supporting bridge crane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gantry cranes&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spanco.com\/product_category\/gantry-cranes\/\">come in a variety of models<\/a>, offering you flexibility to find the best solution for your needs. Many Spanco Gantry Cranes also offer adjustable height, span, and tread, so they can be used for different jobs as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gantry Crane Uses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Gantry cranes can be used in many different industrial settings. You&#8217;ll often find them in shipyards, construction sites, rail yards, steel mills, factories, and anywhere else materials have to be moved from one place to another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pros of Gantry Cranes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Gantry cranes provide unique flexibility in your facility, combining many of the benefits of bridge cranes and jib cranes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Higher capacity:&nbsp;<\/strong>Spanco Gantry Cranes, like Spanco Jib Cranes, offer a maximum capacity of 15 tons.<\/li><li><strong>Flexible coverage area:<\/strong>&nbsp;Gantry cranes can cover a small area, such as a single workstation, or the entire length of a facility, depending on your needs.<\/li><li><strong>Portable:<\/strong>&nbsp;Gantry cranes can be moved to provide material handling coverage anywhere you need it.<\/li><li><strong>Adjustable:<\/strong>&nbsp;Because many Spanco Gantry Cranes offer adjustable height, a single gantry crane can be used for multiple different tasks and processes.<\/li><li><strong>Movement under load:<\/strong>&nbsp;All Spanco Gantry Cranes can be moved under load, providing virtually the same operating capabilities as a bridge crane without the fixed structure.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cons of Gantry Cranes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Although they combine the benefits of other types of cranes, gantry cranes aren&#8217;t perfect for every situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Floorspace:<\/strong>&nbsp;Gantry cranes travel along the floor of your facility, which means the ground in a crane&#8217;s operating area must remain clear and free of obstructions.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"587\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spanco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/04-monorail-cranes-587x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3970\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.spanco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/04-monorail-cranes-587x1024.jpg 587w, https:\/\/www.spanco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/04-monorail-cranes-172x300.jpg 172w, https:\/\/www.spanco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/04-monorail-cranes.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 587px) 100vw, 587px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Monorail_Cranes\"><\/span>4.

The trolley of a monorail crane runs along a track that&#8217;s usually secured to a building&#8217;s ceiling or other support structure. If a ceiling is unusable, monorail cranes can be supported on a freestanding support structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Monorail Crane Uses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Monorail cranes are best for lifting applications that require regular movement along a fixed path. The rails on a monorail crane can be designed to fit your unique specifications by adding switches, branches, changes in elevation, and curves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pros of Monorail Cranes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Cost:<\/strong>&nbsp;Monorail cranes are a simple design, making them a low-cost, economical option.<\/li><li><strong>Straightforward:<\/strong>&nbsp;Applications that don&#8217;t require a high degree of flexibility can employ a monorail crane easily and efficiently.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cons of Monorail Cranes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Lack of flexibility:<\/strong>&nbsp;The monorail crane&#8217;s strength is also one of its biggest drawbacks. Because monorail cranes do not offer much flexibility, they are typically limited to a few specific applications.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_Crane_Is_Right_for_You\"><\/span>Which Crane Is Right for You?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing the right crane for your facility requires you to think through several factors that are unique to your situation.&nbsp;Whether you&#8217;re looking for outdoor or indoor cranes, you&#8217;re sure to find the best fit for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cranes aren&#8217;t one-size-fits-all, so you must choose the one that makes your workflow the smoothest.
