Frequently asked questions

An overhead crane is a lifting system that moves loads safely and efficiently both horizontally and vertically within a building or production area.

There are, among others, single girder and double girder overhead cranes, depending on load, span and available lifting height. We work with you to find the ideal solution.

A single girder overhead crane is more compact and suitable for lighter loads, whereas a double girder overhead crane can handle heavier loads, longer spans and greater lifting heights.

Overhead cranes are custom-designed and suitable for a wide range of loads and spans, from light to heavy industrial use.

Possible features include overload protection, emergency stop, collision protection, end-of-travel switches, and visual and audible warning systems.

The system monitors the distance between overhead cranes and automatically stops or slows them down to prevent collisions.

Yes, overload protection prevents lifting beyond the permitted weight, thereby enhancing safety and extending service life. This can even vary depending on the zone in which the overhead crane operates, and may or may not account for the combined weight of multiple hoists.

Our overhead cranes are designed and built in accordance with the applicable European standards and safety regulations.

Overhead cranes can be fitted with lifting beams, vacuum and magnetic systems, or special grippers to rotate loads.

Yes, loads can be rotated easily and in a controlled manner, either manually or motorised.

Weighing systems can be linked or integrated to provide real-time insight into the load weight during lifting.

Control can be via push buttons or joysticks, pendant control, radio remote control, or full automation.

Yes, visual warning projectors can project a safety signal onto the floor to alert the surrounding area.

Each overhead crane is tailored to the specific application, hall dimensions and loads. This can be based on existing building plans or through on-site measurement.

Key parameters include load weight, span, lifting height, usage frequency and environment.

Yes, overhead cranes can be seamlessly integrated into existing buildings and structures. An additional freestanding support structure can also be provided if needed.

This depends on the chosen configuration; a compact design can reduce the required lifting height. We always aim for a solution that maximises available lifting height.

Yes, regular maintenance is necessary for safe and reliable operation. The maintenance frequency depends on the intensity of use and the importance for the continuity of your business.

Overhead cranes must be inspected periodically in accordance with applicable legislation. In most cases, an inspection every three months by a certified body is required.

Yes, we provide maintenance, inspections and repairs, both preventive and corrective. We are available 24/7 via the regular phone number +32 50 35 97 27.

With correct use and maintenance, an overhead crane can last for several decades, depending on the intensity of use.

Yes, existing installations can be modified, modernised or expanded with additional features. When relocating, the installation dimensions can also be adjusted.

Automation and retrofitting are possible to enhance safety, comfort and efficiency.

Yes, options such as weighing systems, lifting beams or safety features can be integrated later.
