DG Underslung EOT Crane

A DG Underslung EOT Crane (Double Girder Underslung Electric Overhead Traveling Crane) is a type of overhead crane commonly used in industries to lift and move heavy loads. Unlike the traditional top-running cranes, the underslung crane has its girder mounted beneath the runway track, offering several unique advantages, especially in spaces where overhead clearance is limited or the structure cannot bear the weight of traditional cranes. Key Features of DG Underslung EOT Crane: 1. Design & Structure Underslung Design: In this type of crane, the bridge and the two girders are mounted beneath the runway tracks, rather than above them, which is typical for overhead cranes. This "underslung" configuration makes it suitable for spaces with low headroom or where overhead mounting is not feasible. Double Girder Configuration: Like a standard Double Girder EOT Crane, the DG Underslung crane uses two parallel girders that support the hoisting mechanism (trolley and hoist), allowing it to handle heavier loads compared to single girder designs. Box Girder Construction: The girders are typically constructed as box girders, providing better strength, stability, and rigidity than I-beams, which is crucial for handling heavy loads. 2. Load Capacity Heavy Load Handling: DG Underslung EOT Cranes are designed to handle a wide range of loads, often from 5 tons up to 100 tons or more, depending on the specific design and requirements of the application. Precision Handling: Due to the two-girder design and electric drive system, DG Underslung EOT cranes provide precise and controlled lifting and lowering of heavy materials. 3. Traveling Mechanism Trolley and Hoist: Similar to other types of EOT cranes, the hoist is mounted on a trolley that runs along the girders. The trolley moves along the length of the beam, while the hoist raises and lowers the load. Traveling Motion: The crane's bridge travels along the runway, which can either be a built-in structural track or rails. Both the crane bridge and the trolley's movement are powered by electric motors for smooth and controlled operation. Track Support: The tracks on which the crane runs are mounted on the ceiling or overhead support structures, which is a key feature of the "underslung" design. 4. Advantages Space Saving: The underslung configuration helps save overhead space, making this crane ideal for areas where there is a lack of vertical clearance. Low Headroom: Because the crane is mounted beneath the track, the DG Underslung crane is particularly useful in environments where headroom is limited, such as in areas with lower ceilings or under existing overhead structures. Ideal for Existing Buildings: This type of crane is ideal for retrofitting into existing buildings where installing a top-running crane is not possible due to structural limitations. Greater Load Handling: The double girder design allows for heavier load handling than single girder cranes, making it more versatile in industrial environments. 5. Applications Heavy Manufacturing: Commonly used in heavy manufacturing industries where large or heavy parts need to be moved around the production floor. Workshops & Factories: Used in workshops and factories where space constraints make a top-running crane impractical. Warehouses and Distribution Centers: Often found in warehouses where large or bulky materials need to be stored and moved efficiently. Construction: Used in construction sites or precast yards where lifting heavy materials is required in limited spaces. 6. Safety Features Limit Switches: Installed to prevent over-travel of the hoist, trolley, and crane bridge, ensuring safety during operation. Overload Protection: Helps protect the crane from lifting loads beyond its rated capacity, preventing damage and accidents. Emergency Stop Button: An emergency stop button is usually provided to allow operators to quickly stop the crane if necessary. Anti-sway Technology: Some m
