Underslung Cranes

Ceiling-runway crane configurations for constrained buildings and difficult side-approach conditions.

System overview

Designed around the operating requirement

Underslung cranes travel beneath a supporting runway and can provide useful lifting coverage in buildings where floor-supported crane structures or conventional top-running arrangements are unsuitable.

Integration

Restricted-building integration

  • Ceiling-mounted runway arrangement
  • Minimum side-approach coordination
  • Variable cantilever and angled connections
  • Hook-height optimisation within the available building envelope
