Types of overhead crane systems for steel crane buildings
With more than 3 decades of experiences, we can design & fabricate industrial steel buildings that support various types and sizes of cranes, including:
Steel structure workshop is a type of building formed by a main framework consisting primarily of steel column, steel beam, and purlin, with the steel structure accounting for the majority of load-bearing members of the steel workshop building. The roof and walls of the steel workshop are made up of various styles of panels that overlap when assembled together, leaving no gaps. As a result, the steel frame structure factory can be protected from outdoor elements. Steel structure has been used in a variety of industrial and non-industrial building construction due to its low cost and short construction time.
We provide high-quality, long-lasting crane steel structures for your workshops and factories, as well as heavy material handling lifting equipment like overhead cranes. Steel structures are a low-cost option for constructing industrial structures such as workshops, warehouses, and industrial sheds. It is classified into two types: heavy steel structure and light steel structure. This building type can be designed and built with a large span thanks to the properties of structural steel. We also provide a variety of steel crane building with bridge crane system to fit your needs.
The popularity of prefabricated steel structure factories can be attributed to the following factors:
Importance of Strength to Weight Ratio
Steel is the only building material that has the strength-to-weight ratio necessary for metal buildings with overhead cranes. Before custom engineering your bridge crane and steel building, we will take into account the combined weight of the crane system and the crane's maximum load capacity, and other main crane specifications including the crane span, and the space or distance your travelling crane needs to cover within the building . We can also reduce or eliminate the need for independent crane columns in some cases, saving you space and money.
If you need multiple overhead crane systems installed inside your facility, crane supporting steel structures such as runway beams and supporting columns will be required. The frame structure can be single span, double span, or multi span in design. The overall size is determined by your needs.
When installing an overhead crane system inside a building, the desired crane specifications, such as rated load capacity, lifting height, span, work duty, and so on, should be specified first. We provide a wide range of overhead bridge cranes to meet your lifting needs, from small capacity light duty overhead cranes to large capacity heavy duty overhead cranes. These overhead cranes can be designed for both general lifting and specific lifting applications.
A bridge crane steel structure is a metal structure that can be used with overhead cranes. This steel structure is classified as a single span steel structure, a double steel structure, or a multiple steel structure. Our team includes a professional designer who can provide customers with customized services.
Custom design for your crane metal building with overhead crane system is available. The steel structure can be outfitted with doors and walls to meet the needs of the clients. Many customers have additional requirements, such as installing lighting panels around the walls.And the aluminum doors and windows can be provided. And also,if your factory is located at low temperatures area, the steel structure will become cold and brittle, and then it is suggested to use killed steel with good resistance to low-temperature brittle fracture.Contact us to to get your customized steel structure building with overhead crane systems.
The steel building workshop are mainly consisted of Column, Runway beam, Column bracing, Roof beam, Roof brace rod, Roof purlin/Wall beam, Tie bar, and Angle brace and connecting bolts, etc.
Complete steel structures for factory construction and bridge crane supporting
When the complete solution for designing and manufacturing overhead cranes and steel structure of factory building, the complete parts and components of factory steel structure can are required which includes Column,,Bearing-rail beam, Column bracing, Roof beam, Roof brace rod, Roof purlin/Wall beam, Tie bar, and Angle brace and anchor bolts, etc. ( Note: As for the factory walls and construction materials, they are within the responsibility of the steel factory owner and builder. )
Bridge crane supporting steel structure
When the existing structure of facility can not provide adequate strength to supporting the bridge crane, the added steel structure for crane supporting are needed, which are consisted of the columns, runway beam/ bearing rail beam, and column bracing. ( Note: Based on special applications and lifting requirements, the bridge crane supporting steel structure will be designed differently. )
All the above are the main steel structure of steel factory building.
When the crane supporting steel structures are requires, only the first three parts are provided.
1. Columns
If a steel structure building with cranes is required, the steel column should be equipped with brackets to support the crane beam. Furthermore, the size of the steel column must be sufficient to support overhead cranes. Usually, it is widely made of H-beam columns with either a constant or variable section. The column is simple to build and is made of Q235B or Q345B steel, which is safe and ideal for crane steel structures.
a, Main frame column
It bears the load from the beams and slabs and transmits it to the foundation in a steel frame structure. It is the primary vertical support structure and is distributed in the direction of the factory building's long axis, i.e. the "longitudinal wall" surface.
b. Wind resistant column
The wind-resistant column is a structural component of the "gable" surface of the single-story industrial factory building's short axis direction. The wind-resistant column's primary function is to transfer the wind load of the gable wall, and the upper portion is transmitted to the roof system via the connection between the hinge joint and the steel beam. The load-bearing structure of the entire bent frame is transmitted to the foundation via the connection. In general, the shape is smaller than that of a portal steel column.
Functions :
The column foundation is used to support and secure the steel structure factory building, preventing it from shifting, sinking, tilting, or sustaining other structural damage.
The strict foundation design is closely related to the geotechnical exploration and hydrogeology of the site where the plant is located, and the foundation design also influences the anchor bolt specifications. As a result, under normal circumstances, we do not provide anchor bolts and recommend that customers consult their local civil engineering department. This section of civil engineering includes geological survey, design, and customization.
Construction method:
2. Crane Runway Beam/ Crane Runway Bearing Beam / Crane travelling beam,
The steel beam which is specially designed to support the bridge crane is named runway bearing beam, crane runway beam, or crane travelling rail beam., installed on the up part of the factory workshop.
The crane runway bearing beam is the subgrade of the workshop crane. The crane rail is installed on the top of the bearing beam which enables the bridge crane travelling along the crane rails.
The crane runway beam can be classified into the following types: A, H beam,made of H shaped steel beam. B, a fish-belly type runway beam and C, the reinforced concrete crane runway beam. Generally, the bearing beam is made of steel structure or a reinforced concrete structure, and some hydropower projects also have wall crane beams (Figure D ).

B. A fish-belly type runway beam
C. The reinforced concrete crane runway beam.
D. Wall for supporting crane beams.
2.1. Corbel
It is used to support the crane runway beam and transmit the pressure of the crane beam to the column.
There are generally two ways to connect the corbel and the crane beam: a. Flat support type (see Figure A) & b. Flange support type (see Figure B)
a. Flat support type (see Figure A)
The main stress-bearing part is the lower flange plate of the crane runway beam. The pressure on the corbel is relatively far from the center line of the corbel. However, the processing accuracy of the crane bearing beam is not high, and it is generally suitable for small tonnage (≤10T) light-weight bridge crane systems. Due to eoconomical price, the types of crane runway beam and corbles are widley used.
b. Flange support type (see Figure B)
The stress-bearing part is the protruding vertical flange at the end of the crane runway beam. The pressure on the corbel is very close to the center line of the corbel. The force is ideal, but the processing accuracy is high, the protruding part is required to be flat, and the welding quality is good. Generally suitable for large-tonnage cranes.
3. Column bracing
It is a connecting rod installed between two adjacent columns to ensure overall structural stability, improve lateral stiffness, and transmit longitudinal horizontal force. Angle irons can be customized to be single-row or double-row. Welded or bolted connections to steel columns are possible.
In general, it is not always necessary to erect every span. Depending on the size of the factory building, the size of the bay, the tonnage of the factor overhead crane, and other factors, it is usually sufficient to arrange 1-2 sets in the direction of the factory building's long axis.
4. Roof beam
It is the main structural component that bears the pressure from purlins and roof panels in the roof structure. It primarily supports bending moment and shear force.
The roof beam in a large-span factory building is usually divided into two or three sections for ease of transportation and fabrication, and the middle is connected with high-strength bolts.
5. Purlin
There are two types of wall purlins and roof purlins, generally made of C-shaped steel or Z-shaped steel.
A. Wall purlins (wall beam).
A circle of steel formed around the column, also known as the wall beam. It is used to secure the wallboard (color steel tile) and support the horizontal wind load and self-weight of the wallboard. Ordinary bolts are typically used to connect the columns that form the wall's skeleton.
B. Roof purline.
Refers to the profiled steel laid on the roof along the vertical direction of the portal steel beams to reduce the span of the roof color steel tiles and bear the weight of the color steel tiles to form a roof skeleton.
The C type purling is suitable for supporting roof and wall panels, and the thickness is 2.5mm or 3mm.
The Z type purlin is used for roof with large slope.
6. Purlin Rods
It is used to adjust and control the stability of two adjacent purlins, generally made of round steel with a diameter of 12 or 14. Divided into oblique and straight bars.
Therefore, generally the walls and roofs will use the braces.

7.Roof brace rods
The roof brace robs are refers to the round steel parts which are used to connect two adjacent portal steel beams in order to increase the roof's overall rigidity and maintain horizontal stability. .
Roof bracing rods vs. Purlin rods
The roof bracing rods has similar functions with that of purlin rods to the support between the columns, but it differs from purlin rods in the following ways:
8.Tie bar
Through the portal steel beam, the roof is integrally connected, and the components used to improve the lateral stability of the overall steel structure . The tie bars are generally made of steel pipes.
9. Angle brace
The angle braces are the diagonal braces, which are connecting girders and purlins for out-of-plane stability of members. Generally made of angle iron.
10. Parapet
The term "parapet" refers to the low wall that surrounds the roof. The main function, in addition to ensuring safety, is to apply waterproof pressure bricks to the bottom to prevent water seepage from the waterproof layer or overflow of rainwater on the roof. According to national building codes, the height of the parapet wall on the superior's roof should not be less than 1.1m and should not be greater than 1.5m.
11.Gutter
It is the gutter that collects rainwater on the roof, usually made of stainless steel
12.downpipe
It is the drainage pipe, which is connected to the gutter from the roof and fixed outside the wall to drain the rainwater from the roof. It is generally made of plastic material and can be round or square.
13.awning
Installed above the front door for shade and rain protection
15.steel tile & other material for rook contructions
Color profiled tile is another name for colored steel tile. It is a profiled steel plate made of color coated steel plate that is rolled and cold bent into various wave shapes. It is an important material that forms the edging of roofs and walls. It has light weight, high strength, rich color, easy and quick construction, earthquake resistance, fire prevention, rain resistance, long life, no maintenance, and so on. They are commonly used nowadays.
