A wall-mounted travelling crane, also called a bicycle crane, moves along the wall of a hall on its own crane runway structure. It does not cover the full width of the hall but serves a specific work zone along the wall, making it ideal as a complement to existing overhead cranes or as a standalone lifting solution for workstations along the wall.

What is a wall-mounted travelling crane or bicycle crane?
A wall-mounted travelling crane, also called a bicycle crane, is an efficient lifting solution that moves along the wall of a hall on its own crane runway structure. In contrast to an overhead crane, a wall-mounted travelling crane does not use the full span, but serves a specific zone along the side of the building.
This crane is ideal as a complement to a bridge crane or for work zones where a separate, independent lifting solution is required.
Features
- Moves along a double wall-mounted crane runway
- Serves a defined work zone
- No interference with other cranes (such as overhead cranes)
- Efficient use of existing space
Technical possibilitiesn
- Lifting capacity: depending on application and configuration
- Single or double girder configuration possible
- Electric drive with frequency control
- Control via radio control or pendant control
- Fully customised according to your infrastructure
Applications
- Complement to existing bridge cranes
- Workstations along the wall
- Assembly and production lines
- Maintenance and service zones
Important considerations
- For higher lifting capacities, it is essential that the building structure is suitable for the additional crane loads.
- The wall and supporting structure must be sufficiently strong and stable.
- Any reinforcements or separate supporting structures may be required.
- We always analyse this in advance and provide a suitable solution if necessary.
Why choose a wall-mounted travelling crane?
-
Optimal use of space along the wall
-
Increased efficiency through separate work zones
-
Ideal for simultaneous use with other cranes
-
Flexible and cost-efficient solution

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Absolutely. Because the wall-mounted travelling crane runs on its own crane runway along the wall, it does not interfere with other cranes in the hall. This allows simultaneous operation and increases the overall productivity of your production or assembly environment.
For higher lifting capacities, it is important that the building structure is suitable for the additional loads. Standaert Rolbruggen provides you with the relevant crane loads, so they can be correctly taken into account in the structural assessment.
Our cranes are available in both single and double girder configurations, equipped with electric drive and frequency control for smooth and precise operation.
