Why Get an Overhead Crane?

Reduce the stress on your workforce and maximize production.

Reduce Labor

Reduce labor and watch production soar. A single person can operate an overhead crane. Bridge cranes lower your labor cost and often opens up cramped workspaces.

Improve Efficiency

Eliminate the need for moving product by hand or forklift. Overhead cranes improve the manufacturing process and increase consistency and efficiency. You can custom order a crane to fit your work area. Choose your crane type, height, and capacity.

Move Heavy Loads

There are some things your shop forklift cannot do. Lifting 50 tons is one of those things. A crane is more than an efficient way to move something from point A to point B. Often it is the only affordable way to lift something. Cranes typically lift material from 500 lbs to 10 tons. PWI has built overhead bridge cranes that lift 50 tons.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some common questions asked by customers. If your question hasn't been answered, send us a message.

Our headquarters is in Nappanee, Indiana and our crews install overhead cranes across North America.

Yes, performing routine inspections and maintenance on your crane system is very important in minimizing downtime and excessive repair costs.

The function of an overhead crane is to lift and move extremely heavy loads in an area. Overhead cranes often replace other means of lifting loads such as forklifts.

We will work with you to build a crane that fits your budget. While a crane is an initial investment upfront, you'll get a massive return. Bridge cranes are efficient and can be operated by one person.

There are several overhead crane types available that are designed to accommodate a variety of spaces and functions. PWI has the capability of designing a crane system custom to your needs and space.

Load capacity and span are the two primary factors considered when choosing between a single girder and double girder crane design. Our crane experts will walk you through the process of designing, building, and installing your overhead crane system that is perfect for your requirements and space.

Don't confuse double girder for dual bridge (sometimes called two bridge) overhead cranes. A dual bridge has two independently controlled bridges that move up and down the runway beam.

Usually the building structure and workspace are the primary factors between choosing top running or under running (sometimes called under-hung) bridge crane. The difference is how the bridge beams attach to runway beams. Our team will work with you to design and build an overhead crane system that fits your workspace.

Cranes should be inspected daily, monthly, and annually. Each interval has a different level of inspection criteria to ensure the proper maintenance and function of the crane is being maintained.
