About Hand Operated Overhead Cranes
Hand Operated Overhead Cranes are a type of crane that relies on manual effort to lift, lower, and move loads along a horizontal beam or runway. These cranes are commonly used in workshops, small factories, warehouses, and repair facilities for lifting and transporting lightweight materials, machinery, and tools across short distances. Their simplicity and portability make them a great option for cost-effective material handling in environments with low to moderate load requirements. These cranes have a straightforward design with fewer components, making them easy to use and maintain. Hand Operated Overhead Cranes are simple, effective, and affordable tools for lifting and moving lightweight materials across short distances.
Superior Manual Lifting PerformanceOur hand operated overhead cranes deliver consistent, reliable lifting through a robust design tailored for manual operation. With a high-grade alloy load chain and sturdy hand chain hoist, users can easily control lifting speeds and positions according to their needs, all without the requirement for electrical power.
Customizable for Varied ApplicationsFrom single girder to double girder configurations, these cranes can be built to fit different operational environments. Their versatility suits everything from compact warehouses to large industrial plants, adapting to both space and specific material handling needs, with customizable span and lifting height options available.
Engineered for Safety and DurabilityBuilt to stringent international standards (IS 3177 / IS 807), each crane is tested at 125% of its rated capacity. The structure features a robust mechanical brake and a heavy-duty gearbox, ensuring secure operations and long service life while keeping maintenance minimal.
FAQs of Hand Operated Overhead Cranes:
Q: How does the hand operated overhead crane function without electricity?
A: The crane operates entirely via manual mechanisms. Lifting is achieved using a hand chain hoist with a pulley block, and trolley movement is managed by pushing or pulling along the beam, making it ideal for locations lacking a power supply.
Q: What materials and environments are these cranes suitable for?
A: Constructed from high-grade mild steel and finished with corrosion-resistant paint, these cranes are ideal for material handling in warehouses, workshops, and industrial plants. They withstand ambient temperatures from -10C to +55C.
Q: When should I consider using a hand operated overhead crane?
A: Hand operated overhead cranes are suitable when reliable lifting is needed without electrical power, or in settings where electrical equipment may pose safety risks. They are also optimal for moderate-duty material handling and locations where low maintenance is preferred.
Q: Where can these cranes be installed and who provides installation?
A: These cranes can be mounted overhead in any suitable structure, such as factories or storage facilities. Installation services are available upon request from the dealer, fabricator, or manufacturer in India.
Q: What is the process for customizing the crane as per my requirements?
A: You can specify requirements such as load capacity (110 tons), span (520 meters), and lifting height (612 meters) to the supplier or manufacturer. The crane will then be fabricated and tested according to those specifications and industry standards.
Q: How do users control and ensure safety during operation?
A: Operators control the crane manually with a hand chain for lifting and direct physical movement of the trolley. Safety is ensured through a mechanical hand-operated brake system, rigorous load testing, and easy-access maintenance features.
Q: What benefits does a hand operated overhead crane offer over electric versions?
A: Manual cranes require no external power supply or voltage, making them cost-effective for installation and operation. They offer low maintenance, are easy to service, and provide reliable performance even during power outages or in hazardous environments.
