Modernisation
Retrofit of overhead cranes in service
Overhead cranes in service can be assessed for panel replacement, control upgrades, drive replacement, installation of variable frequency drives, electrical modernisation, mechanical recovery and the addition of operating features.
The feasibility of a retrofit depends on the structural, mechanical and electrical condition of the equipment.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about overhead cranes
Load capacity, span, travel distance, lifting height, control type, available electrical supply, installation environment and duty cycle. Photographs and site drawings help with the analysis.
In many cases, yes. The feasibility of a retrofit depends on the structural, mechanical and electrical condition of the equipment, verified in a technical assessment.
Yes. The scope of installation, mechanical assembly, electrical integration and testing is defined in the proposal, according to the conditions assessed on site.
A single-girder crane uses one main girder and generally serves smaller loads and spans; a double-girder crane uses two girders and allows greater capacities, lifting heights and additional features. The choice follows from the sizing.
