An underhung crane, also called under running or underslung crane, is a type of overhead crane that is suspended from the roof structure and travels along the bottom flange of the runway beam. It can free floor space of obstructions and is suitable for situations where the building height is inadequate for a top running system. It is typically lighter and designed for light service or small-capacity applications. It can be equipped with an electric hoist and used in various settings like warehouses, workshops, construction sites, and maintenance occasions to improve efficiency and safety 


What are the advantages and disadvantages of underhung cranes?

Underhung overhead cranes have several advantages. They are a good choice for factories and warehouse facilities that want to free floor space of obstructions and improve safety and productivity. They do not require supportive floor columns because they typically ride on the lower flange of a runway beam suspended from the facility roof or rafters. By optimizing end approaches, underhung overhead cranes make the most of facility space. They allow the hoist to get closer to the end truck or end of the runway than is possible with a top-running crane. The underhung configuration also maximizes the bridge end approach, or how close the bridge girder can get to the wall or the end of the runway 
However, there are also some disadvantages to consider. As their beams are suspended from building roofs, underhung overhead cranes are limited in lifting capacity—usually 10 tons or less. Before choosing an underhung crane you should have the structural strength of your facility’s roof evaluated. Supporting beams can be added to permit increased load capacity

How to install an under running overhead crane

Installing an under running overhead crane involves several steps. A reputable and experienced overhead crane manufacturer can work with you to design and install an overhead crane that meets your lifting requirements and fits in your existing building structure 
Before the installation of an overhead crane system, the installer will reach out to establish contact with the customer and schedule a time to visit and analyze the proposed installation site. Any special considerations for an overhead crane installation actually begin during the quotation process. During that process, the overhead crane installer will review generic drawings of the crane equipment and review blueprints or building floor plans to give their best estimate of what it will take to install an overhead crane in the customer’s facility
Once a purchase order is received, the overhead crane manufacturer will begin building and assembling the crane itself—a process that can take anywhere from 2 to 12 months. While the overhead crane is in the final stages of assembly, the installer will reach out to establish contact with the customer and schedule a time to visit and analyze the proposed installation site
