Heavy Lifting Configuration: One Load, One Crane, or Two Lifting Points?
The lifting arrangement depends on the load weight, load dimensions, center of gravity and available lifting points. For heavy or oversized loads, the hook arrangement can be as important as the crane capacity.
Open Winch Overhead Crane
An open winch crane is used for high-capacity lifting where the hoisting system needs a larger load range and easier access for inspection and maintenance.
- Hoisting system: Open winch, wire rope drum, hook block
- Capacity: Project-specific, commonly used for high-capacity cranes
- Duty: Suitable for frequent lifting and demanding operating cycles
- Common applications: Steel plants, power plants, foundries, heavy manufacturing
Selection should cover lifting capacity, lifting height, duty class, hoisting speed, hook arrangement, braking system, and maintenance access.
Double Trolley Overhead Crane
A double trolley crane uses two lifting trolleys when one load needs two lifting points or controlled two-point lifting.
- Configuration: Two independent or synchronized trolleys
- Hook arrangement: Two lifting points with project-specific spacing
- Common applications: Long machinery, ship sections, bridge components, heavy equipment
The crane design must account for the load center of gravity, hook spacing, load distribution, trolley travel, girder loading, brake capacity, and synchronization control.
Dual Hook Overhead Crane witn Main Hook and Auxiliary Hook
A dual hook crane has two hooks for lifting long, unbalanced, or specially shaped loads.
- Hook arrangement: Main and auxiliary hooks or two working hooks
- Capacity: Selected according to the actual load and lifting points
- Common applications: Steel structures, machinery, long components, heavy equipment
Hook capacity alone is not enough for selection. The load center of gravity, lifting points, hook spacing, and actual load distribution also need to be checked.
Specialized Heavy Lifting Crane
Specialized cranes are used when the load, process, or working environment requires equipment beyond a standard hook crane.
- Steelmaking: Ladle crane, casting crane, charging crane
- Scrap handling: Magnetic crane, grab crane
- High-temperature areas: Heat-resistant crane configurations
- Hazardous areas: Explosion-proof crane configurations
- Special lifting: Custom hooks, lifting beams, grabs, magnets, spreaders
The main selection factors are load type, material temperature, dust level, hazardous-area classification, lifting device, duty class, and operating conditions.
Yuantai Crane Reference: Heavy duty cranes are configured from the actual lifting conditions rather than from capacity alone. Load weight, span, lifting height, duty class, lifting frequency, site conditions, and the required lifting arrangement are confirmed before the final crane design is issued.
Some heavy lifting projects operate outside normal indoor workshop conditions. Temperature, weather, dust, corrosion and hazardous atmospheres can change the crane design, electrical protection and maintenance requirements.
