EOT (Electrical Overhead Travelling Crane) are commonly used for factory or industrial applications such as paper mills, steelyards, aeronautics, automotive repair shops, etc. They are the most commonly used type of overhead crane and are also extremely useful. These cranes have parallel runways, where the gap is maintained by a travelling bridge on which the hoist is mounted. As the name says, these cranes run electrically either with an operator cabin attached to the EOT Crane or through a control pendant. These cranes are equipped with the capability to lower or raise heavy loads in addition to travelling in both directions. These cranes work over railyards which are set on girders over the head.
.
Two types of EOT cranes are manufactured in India- Single Girder EOT cranes and Double Girder EOT Cranes.
Single Girder EOT Cranes
Single Girder Cranes consist of one main bridge and are too much lighter than double girders in structure. This makes it a perfect choice for light industrial applications. The main parts of the single girder cranes include an electrically managed hoist, the main bridge, and end beams.
Double Girder EOT Cranes
On the other hand, double-girder cranes are much more profitable and are utilized for operations that need a higher load-carrying capacity. These cranes include two main bridges, making them much stronger and more robust in construction. Made to help in heavy-duty operations, these EOT cranes are manufactured with better aesthetics and usefulness when compared to single girder cranes. Considering the imperativeness of this specific asset, one must consider its utility and cost-effectiveness. Ensure you are buying an overhead crane; ask for particular quality assurances proffered by the manufacturer.
