A. The High-Rigidity Bridge Girder
The main bridge girder is the structural backbone of the crane. Depending on your building’s span and runway height, we offer two main designs:
- Standard I-Beam Profiles: Perfect for shorter spans and standard heights. It provides a compact, lightweight, and cost-effective design.
- Fabricated Box Girders: Used for longer spans where structural bending must be kept to a minimum. These are fabricated from high-strength steel plates. We place internal steel support plates inside the box structure to resist twisting and bending forces caused by rapid travel movements.
All major structural welding is carried out using automatic welding machines to ensure deep, high-quality joints. We also perform non-destructive tests (such as dye testing and ultrasonic scans) on critical welds to guarantee there are no hidden internal flaws.
B. End Carriages & Smooth-Running Wheels
The end carriages support the main girder and guide the entire crane along your factory runway rails.
- Rugged Frames: Fabricated from heavy-duty steel channels or box sections, they are connected to the main girder using high-tensile bolts. This allows for easy shipping and fast installation on-site.
- Hardened Steel Wheels: Our wheels are forged from carbon steel alloys. The wheel surfaces are induction-hardened to prevent premature wear on both the wheels and your runway rails.
- Self-Aligning Bearings: Equipped with heavy-duty roller bearings housed in easy-access blocks, making routine grease lubrication simple and fast.
C. Low-Headroom Wire Rope Hoist
Our standard 10 Ton Single Girder EOT Crane features a specialized low-headroom wire rope hoist. This compact design sits close to the bottom of the bridge girder, allowing the lifting hook to rise much higher.
- Precision Rope Drum: Features machined spiral grooves that guide the wire rope neatly into place, preventing overlapping and extending the life of the rope.
- Heavy-Duty Rope Guide: A durable, self-lubricating guide holds the wire rope securely in its groove, even if there is a slight diagonal pull.
- Fail-Safe Hoist Motor & Brake: Equipped with a high-torque motor and an automatic electromagnetic disc brake. If the power cuts out, the brake engages instantly to hold the load securely in place.
D. Electrical Systems & Variable Frequency Drives (VFD)
All electrical controls are housed in a dust-proof, moisture-proof sheet metal panel mounted directly on the crane.
- Standard VFD Control: Standard on both cross travel (hoist moving along the girder) and long travel (crane moving along the building). This provides smooth speed control, eliminates structural shocks, and prevents loads from swinging during transit.
- Safe Cable Festoon System: Power is supplied to the moving hoist via flexible, flat copper cables suspended on rolling trolleys inside a protective C-track. This system prevents cables from tangling or wearing out.

Common industries include:
Solving Real-World Problems for Industrial Buyers
When planning to purchase a new overhead crane, factory managers and owners face several practical challenges. Our custom-engineered systems solve these problems directly.
Problem 1: Low Ceilings and Limited Overhead Room
- The Challenge: Many factories have low roofs or existing overhead piping and steel structures that limit vertical space. A standard crane can severely reduce your actual lifting height.
- Our Solution: We use a compact, low-headroom hoist design that sits high up on the bridge girder. This allows your hook to lift loads higher, giving you maximum clearance without having to raise your factory roof.
Problem 2: Worrying About Overloading Existing Building Columns
- The Challenge: Many factory owners hesitate to install an overhead crane because they fear their existing building columns and gantry rails aren’t strong enough to bear the additional wheel load. Reinforcing the structure adds significant, unplanned cost and construction time.
- Our Solution: Our single girder design uses significantly less structural steel than a double girder crane, which keeps the overall deadweight — and therefore the wheel load transferred to your columns — to a minimum. Our engineering team calculates the exact wheel loads for your span and capacity before manufacturing, so the crane can often be installed in your existing pre-engineered building (PEB) without any additional structural reinforcement.
Problem 3: Damaged Products Due to Load Swing
- The Challenge: When traditional cranes start or stop suddenly, the suspended load swings. This can damage expensive machinery, injure operators, and make precise alignment on assembly lines very difficult.
- Our Solution: Every Konex crane comes with advanced VFD systems that provide smooth, gradual acceleration and braking. The load remains completely stable, allowing operators to position heavy components with millimeter-level precision.
Problem 4: Hard Working Environments (Dust, Humidity, and Heat)
- The Challenge: Cranes operating in dusty fabrication shops, humid locations, or high-temperature foundries can face electrical failures and rapid rust.
- Our Solution: All our steel surfaces undergo high-pressure grit blasting to clean the metal before painting. We apply a multi-layer protective coating system (including a rust-resistant zinc primer and a durable polyurethane topcoat) to a thickness of $120\text{ microns}$. Electrical panels are completely sealed (IP55 rated) to keep out dust and moisture.
