Electronic Overhead Travelling Cranes

EOT cranes are actually the Electronic Overhead Travelling Cranes which has become an essential industry requirement and it is used as equipment implicated to material handling job. It can be of different types. Among them the Overhead EOT single girder cranes are the standard ones and are used to lift the objects by a hoist fitted in a trolley. The EOT Crane Manufacturers have again classified it in two different categories:

Based on the number of cross- girders under which the single and double girder cranes are present.

Based on nature of running it can be top running and under running cranes.

So, let’s discuss about the cranes Based on the number of cross-girders:

Overhead EOT Single Girder Cranes cost less in many ways as only cross girders are needed and can be installed quickly and its runway beams are lighter enough due to reduced crane dead weight.

This Overhead EOT Double Girder Cranes are compatible with wide pans and heavy weights. These are used in lifting heavy loads that cannot be done by normal cranes.

Again, EOT crane configuration has under running and top running cranes like:

Under running:

Running on the bottom flange of runway girders, the running cranes are supported from the roof structure. They are advantageous since the very small trolley approach dimension can utilize the maximum of the building's width and height. There is a possibility of using the existing ceiling girder for protecting the crane track.

Top running:

In Top running, a girder is a support beam which is used to denote the main horizontal support of a structure that supports smaller beams.

So, in the above as per the EOT Crane Manufacturers the classification is given.

Overhead cranes can be controlled with radio remote controls or independent travelling push button pendants which allow operators to stand on the safe side and operate. Operators are in such a way of a safer side to have an obstacle less view for smooth functioning of operations.

The unique attributes of EOT cranes is underlying in the design optimization such that it avoids dead weight and reduces the cost of the equipment. It is mostly used in construction companies, manufacturing heavy equipment, exports of materials that cannot be handled with hands as such.

Eot cranes are actually the Electronic Overhead Travelling Cranes which has become an essential industry requirement and it is used as equipment implicated to material handling job.
