Overhead cranes are large machines used to lift and move heavy materials in industrial settings. They consist of a horizontal beam, called a bridge, that moves along two parallel tracks. The crane can lift items using a hoist attached to the bridge, making it ideal for factories, warehouses, and construction sites. These cranes are essential for improving efficiency and safety in material handling. They can lift loads that would be difficult or dangerous to move manually. Overhead cranes are often used in conjunction with other equipment, such as forklifts and conveyors, to streamline operations in various industries.
