The variants of our bridge crane package solution are specifically geared to your requirements and support machine and plant manufacturers with optimized solutions for many applications.
Flexible variants of the bridge crane package for your optimal drive concept

The variants of our bridge crane package solution can be flexibly adapted to your specific requirements. Bridge cranes differ mainly in the required span width, the working load, dynamics, and positioning accuracy. Our bridge crane package solution therefore has different variants in order to accommodate these requirements.
Choose your optimal drive and control concept from our wide range of variants, regardless of whether you need these for large, small, manual or automated bridge, overhead or wall traveling cranes. The predefined variants make it simpler for you to select the right components for your optimal solution.

Distinguishing features of bridge cranes
The task of all bridge cranes is to transport loads in a hall. There are differences, however, in the requirements for positioning accuracy and speed. We have taken these differences into account in the bridge crane package in the form of different variants. The predefined variants make it easier for you to select the right components for an optimum solution.
