Overall Structure:
Under Running Cranes, also known as underhung cranes, are characterized by their bridge that runs along the underside of the runway beams.
The runways are attached to the lower flanges of the building's roof structure or supporting beams.
The trolley and hoist travel along this bridge, allowing for lifting and moving materials. Components: Bridge :
This is the horizontal beam that spans the workspace.
It supports the trolley and hoist.
It can be a single or double girder design, depending on the load capacity. Runways :
These are the rails that the bridge travels along.
They are mounted to the underside of the building's structural beams.
They provide the path for the crane's longitudinal travel.. Trolley:
This unit travels along the bridge.
It carries the hoist and allows for horizontal movement of the load. Hoist :
This is the lifting mechanism that raises and lowers the load.
It can utilize wire ropes, chains, or other lifting devices. End Carriage :
These wheel assembles are used to drive the crane along the under slung runway rails.
