Wide flange top-riding cranes
Wide flange top-riding cranes are designed with an “I-Beam” style structural girder. This girder is composed of plate steel fabricated to include a top flange, bottom flange, and web plate. This overhead crane design is ideal for freestanding, short span, or low capacity cranes.
Wide flange cranes can be stretched out to longer spans or higher capacity if needed, but as the span and capacity increase, the size of the girder gets deeper and heavier. This can cause unneeded stress to the shop floor or building columns and can often surpass what the floor or columns are rated for.
When the weight starts to become an issue, this is when you would start to look at a box girder design.
