Overhead Crane Canada: 5 Ton Underhung Crane for Agricultural Workshops

Underslung overhead traveling crane

DQCRANES underslung overhead travelling crane is particularly suited to complicated space and construction conditions as the crane track is mounted onto the ceiling instead of onto free-standing or building columns. Thus best possible results are achieved even in tight spaces and difficult conditions.



The single girder underslung bridge cranes offered by DQCRANES have load capacities of up to 10 tons and spans of up to 16m. A comprehensive programme of accessories and crane kits is also available for DQCRANES' under running bridge cranes.

Underhung Crane Project in Canada

• Client: Canadian Agricultural Machinery Maintenance Facility
• Objective: Design and export a 5-ton single girder underhung crane compliant with European standards to enhance maintenance operations.

Client Needs and Industry Challenges

The client, a Canadian company involved in agricultural machinery maintenance, faced the challenge of efficiently handling heavy machinery components.  Maintaining and repairing agricultural equipment often requires lifting and moving bulky and heavy parts, such as engines, transmissions, and large tires.  Without a suitable lifting solution, these tasks can be time-consuming, labor-intensive, and potentially dangerous. The client sought a reliable and cost-effective solution to improve their maintenance processes, reduce downtime, and enhance workplace safety.

DQCRANES' Solution

DQCRANES provided a tailored solution by designing and exporting a single girder underhung bridge crane. This type of crane was well-suited to the client's needs due to the following factors:

• Lifting Capacity: The 5 ton lifting capacity was sufficient to handle the weight of most agricultural machinery components.
• Single Girder Design: A single girder crane is a cost-effective option for lighter lifting requirements.
• Underhung Configuration: The underhung design maximizes the available headroom within the maintenance facility and doesn't require supporting columns, thus optimizing the use of space.
• overhead crane System: An overhead crane system provides excellent coverage of the work area, allowing for precise positioning of heavy loads.
