In short: A 50 ton overhead crane is a heavy duty double girder crane. At this capacity the girders, mechanisms and runway are engineered for the project, usually with an auxiliary hook in addition to the main hook.
What does a 50 ton crane project involve?
At 50 t and above every crane is project-specific. Aylen handles the site survey, load and duty analysis, girder and mechanism calculations, runway check, manufacture, installation, load tests and commissioning. We build cranes up to 150 tonnes.
Typical equipment
- Double girder bridge and crab
- Main hook + auxiliary hook
- Inverter drives and precise positioning on all motions
- Cabin or radio remote control
- Maintenance platforms and walkways
- Load cell, anti-sway, anti-collision and PLC-based automation
