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.

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.

Grain Silos

From the 1st day that I met you I was very impressed with your level of integrity and the service you gave us. You answered questions quickly and followed thru with changes we requested. I don’t know a lot about cranes and I appreciate your patience in explaining things. I was also impressed with your crew and how hard working they are. They installed our crane quickly and were great to work with. Thanks again for great service, you have definitely earned my trust.
