Single Girder HOT Cranes (Upto 15 Tons)
Home / Single Girder HOT Cranes (Upto 15 Tons)
HOT Crane or Hand operated Overhead Travelling Crane is a type of overhead crane that consists of one Main beam and two end carriages. The main beam supports the hoist & trolley, which can move along on the bottom of the beam flange. The end carriages are attached to runway rails, which allow the crane to travel along the length of the workshop.
Single Girder HOT Cranes are maximally used for light loads upto 10T and spans usually upto 10 mtrs. They can also be of Double Girder type depending on the application / site requirements. They are usually equipped with Manually operated Chain Pulley Block however also can be equipped with either Wire Rope Hoist or Chain Hoist as per the load application and Customer requirements. Some of the advantages of HOT Cranes are:
- They are versatile cranes used frequently for varied needs in industrial applications.
- HOT Cranes are generally more cost effective, and easier to install than EOT Cranes and are easier to maintain because of fewer mechanical components.
- Operators have high degree of control over the load, allowing precision positioning. This is beneficial in complex lifting tasks – and job loading on machines.
HOT cranes are suitable for industries such as water projects, steel, power, manufacturing, mining and cement. They can handle a variety of materials, such as coils, plates, billets, scrap, parts, and machinery. Single girder HOT cranes are designed and manufactured according to the specific requirements of each customer, taking into account factors such as load capacity, span, lifting height, speed, duty cycle, and environmental conditions.
Some of the common components of HOT Cranes:
Primary structural component that spans the width of the Crane. It supports the trolley and hoist and connects to the end trucks.
Located at both ends of the Bridge Girder, these components house the wheels that enable the crane’s movement along the runway beams.
The device that lifts, positions, and lowers the load using a wire rope or chain and a hook.
The device that carries the hoist along the length of the boom. It can be manual or motorized.
Powers the crane’s movements and include motors, controllers and power supply lines
The interface used by the operator to direct the crane’s movements and lifting operations.
