Product Introduction

The low headroom overhead crane is a specialized material handling equipment designed to operate efficiently in spaces with limited vertical clearance. Unlike standard overhead cranes, it features a compact structure that maximizes the usable lifting height under low ceiling conditions, making it an ideal solution for industrial facilities where headroom is a critical constraint. This crane integrates advanced mechanical and electrical components to ensure stable lifting, precise positioning, and reliable performance, effectively addressing the challenges of material transportation in space-restricted workshops, warehouses, and production lines.
Low Headroom Overhead Crane Features

- 1. Compact Low-Headroom Design: Adopts an optimized crane bridge and trolley structure, with a significantly reduced overall height compared to standard cranes. This design allows the crane to operate under ceilings with minimal headroom while maintaining a large effective lifting stroke, maximizing the utilization of vertical space in the workshop.
- 2. High Lifting Efficiency: Equipped with a high-performance hoisting mechanism, the crane offers smooth and efficient lifting operations. The variable frequency drive (VFD) control system enables stepless speed regulation, ensuring stable acceleration and deceleration, which not only improves handling efficiency but also reduces the impact on the crane and the lifted loads.
- 3. Superior Safety Performance: Integrates multiple safety protection devices, including overload protection, limit switches (lifting height limit and trolley travel limit), emergency stop button, and voltage loss protection. These devices work together to prevent potential accidents, ensuring the safety of personnel and equipment during operation.
- 4. Easy Installation and Maintenance: The modular design simplifies the installation process, reducing the on-site construction time and labor costs. Key components are easily accessible, facilitating routine inspection, maintenance, and repair work, which helps to minimize downtime and extend the service life of the crane.
- 5. Customizable Configurations: Can be tailored to meet specific customer requirements, including lifting capacity, span, lifting height, control mode (pendent control, remote control, or cabin control), and additional accessories such as anti-sway devices, load weighing systems, and dust-proof covers, making it suitable for various application scenarios.

Low Headroom Overhead Crane Applicable Industries

The low headroom overhead crane is widely used in industries where vertical space is limited. Its main application fields include:
- 1. Automotive Manufacturing: Used in workshops for lifting and transporting auto parts, such as engines, transmissions, and body frames, where the workshop ceiling is often restricted due to the installation of production lines and equipment.
- 2. Metal Processing: Suitable for steel mills, forging plants, and machining workshops to handle heavy metal materials, workpieces, and molds in spaces with low headroom.
- 3. Warehousing and Logistics: Applied in warehouses with low ceilings to stack and retrieve goods, improving the storage density and space utilization of the warehouse.
- 4. Light Industry and Electronics: Used in electronics factories, textile mills, and food processing plants to transport light to medium loads in clean and space-constrained production environments.
- 5. Construction Machinery: Utilized in the assembly and maintenance of construction machinery to lift and position large components in workshops with limited vertical clearance.
FAQ: Low Headroom Overhead Crane
Q: What is the minimum headroom required for a low headroom overhead crane?
A: The minimum headroom depends on the specific model and lifting capacity. Generally, it can be as low as 1.5m – 2.5m. We will provide a detailed headroom calculation based on your actual working conditions and requirements.
Q: Can the low headroom overhead crane be used outdoors?
A: Yes, but it needs to be equipped with weatherproofing measures, such as rain covers, anti-corrosion coatings, and waterproof electrical components, to adapt to outdoor environments. We can provide outdoor-specific configurations according to your needs.
Q: How often does the crane need to be maintained?
A: Routine maintenance should be carried out monthly, including checking the hoisting mechanism, brakes, electrical system, and safety devices. Annual comprehensive maintenance is also required to ensure the crane operates in good condition. We can provide a maintenance manual and professional maintenance services.
Q: What is the service life of the low headroom overhead crane?
A: Under normal use and proper maintenance, the service life is usually 10 – 15 years. The service life can be extended by regular maintenance and timely replacement of worn parts.
Q: Can the crane be upgraded or modified after installation?
A: Yes, we can provide upgrade and modification services, such as increasing the lifting capacity, extending the span, adding anti-sway devices, or upgrading the control system. However, the modification needs to be designed and implemented by professional technicians to ensure safety and performance.
