We built this10 tonne Overhead Crane to travel from one gantry to another. No other company wanted to do it...so we did. Check out our web site www.insightuk.com
looks like the 10 ton capacity is weakened switching to the top rail putting the 10 ton stress on the weaker part of the beams on both the crane and crane railway
I'm sure if they did the engineering and calculations for track wheels, they are capable of calculating the required runway for an under running crane.
The Crane only ‘switches’ tracks on one side, on the door side of the factory unit, this allows the customer to load his HGVs much higher saving him a lot of transport costs. The other track, the one that cannot be seen in the video, is a standard track system with no ‘switching’, this is where the conductor system runs, it is just a standard conductor system - nothing special about it. Sorry for the very late reply
Thank you for the comments; it would have cost the customer a lot of money to raise the gantry rail along the full length of the building. This design allowed us to raise only the sections seen to achieve the same results. The increased head room over the shutter door has seen afforded the company to load the trucks to full height capacity and save them substantial haulage costs.
I have a problem every spring . If the crane isnt being used , Robbins build nests on the back side of the rails . It takes them less than 3 days to build a nest . They havent derailed it , but they jam the wheels on one side , and that twists and stalls the bridge .
Very clever. I assume you geared the upper and lower trolleys to run together so it transfers smoothly? Did you have any trouble with large loads deflecting the lower rail causing problems jumping onto the upper rail? Either way, ingenious system.
Isn't there a difference in the load bearing between tops and bottoms of I-beams? I just know from rigging school there was a difference between using beam clamp on the bottom of a beam and/or throwing slings over the top..
Thanks for the comments, we utilised top running end carriages along with underslung trolleys. Each set being independently driven. the key to the design was to ensure the smooth mounting of each at the drop off and join up points.
Thats pretty damn cool! How did you run the power lines????? All our cranes run 480 down the side of one rail and is picked up with 6 shoes. Just curious.
1. What jumped? looked like it just moved...like....and overhead crane. O.o 2. what is up with that stupid ass music?? 3. why the hell is this being recommended to me after 11 years?!?!?!?!?! :O
Great job don't listen no pleasures they don't like the music they're so dumb they can't turn the volume down hate to be around them if they operate a crane LOL

Good engineering solution. Overhead crane installation will create problems never thought of. Keeps it interesting.
Oh, I like that!!

Bridge 위치가 변동이 없는데 무슨 의미가 있을까요???
DONT NEED THE STUPID MUSIC!!
AN INFORMATIONAL ROLLING NARRATIVE WOULD BE MUCH BETTER!!
Stand here and hold on to this...
Neat set up.
Why not just have the higher girder all along the wall, no need to gantry jump then.....?

I ouwld have made a dug-out dock to load the trucks but hey.
Very impressive.Also very new. But whats it going to be like after 10 or 20 years of abuse ?
But its a nice piece of engineering anyway.
Smart idea.

Install rail sweeps?
That's a job for "go away" corn
Really Nice Desgin! How can be change wheel from one gantry rail to another gantry rail? LT wheel remain same for both the different gantry rail?
Pretty cool.

Id think there would be a slight taper for a loaded lead in
Ohh! So it changes classification to a 2 girder underhung! what the hell.
nice construction...
well thats just....let think how to say this ...the shit . let me guess you turned a set of end trucks upside down....cool.
Was this video edited by a 10-year old? :)
Why did you post this ?????

I ran a 35 ton and i never ever ever seen anything like this 😨 AWSOME
Thank you for your comments, glad you like it
Yeah but why?

The incoming power is on the other side.
Nice engineering job. Good thinking.
Nice engineering on that sweetheart.
😂
Um it doesn't jump anything. It clearly has two sets of gantry wheels, duh.
No music...please
Why?
Half-Life did that in 1998 with their train system.
Very Nice
I got a bad feeling about this..
That “music” is SO harassing I gave up watching. Hope the crane jumps and falls on the noisemaker machine.
lose the music
Pish
1. What jumped? looked like it just moved...like....and overhead crane. O.o
2. what is up with that stupid ass music??
3. why the hell is this being recommended to me after 11 years?!?!?!?!?! :O
Nice but useless
music stinks
Great job don't listen no pleasures they don't like the music they're so dumb they can't turn the volume down hate to be around them if they operate a crane LOL
Bloody awful music...
