In short: An overhead crane price cannot be given as a single figure: it depends on capacity, span, lifting height, duty class, crane type, controls, automation and installation scope. Send us these details and we will prepare an accurate quotation.
Factors that determine overhead crane price
- Lifting capacity: larger girders, hoist and wheels.
- Span: girder length and weight.
- Lifting height: rope or chain length and drum size.
- Single or double girder: a double girder crane needs more material and mechanisms.
- Duty class: more operating hours need stronger mechanisms (calculate the FEM class).
- Hoist type: wire rope or chain, standard or low headroom trolley.
- Speeds and drives: inverter drives, two speeds, precise positioning.
- Controls: pendant, radio remote or cabin.
- Safety and automation: load cell, anti-sway, anti-collision, remote monitoring.
- Environment: outdoor, dust, high temperature or explosive (ATEX) areas.
- Runway and structure: runway beams, rails and corbels if not present.
- Installation, transport and tests: site installation, commissioning, load tests and documentation.
How to keep the cost down
- Choose the capacity you really need.
- Select the right duty class; too low means early failures and higher maintenance cost.
- Clarify during the survey whether the existing runway can be used.
- Consider total cost of ownership: energy, maintenance and spare parts.
By crane type
For a fast and accurate quotation, send us
- Capacity (t), span (m) and lifting height (m)
- The application and daily operating time
- Whether a runway exists
- Control preference and special requirements (ATEX, outdoor, automation)
- Country and city of the installation
Our quotation shows the crane, installation and tests as separate items. If necessary we survey your site to confirm the dimensions.

FAQ
Why is there no single price for an overhead crane?
Two cranes with the same capacity can differ greatly in cost depending on span, lifting height, duty class, controls and installation scope, so every quotation is prepared for the application.
What information is needed for a quotation?
Capacity, span, lifting height, frequency of use, runway status, control preference, environment and installation location.
Is installation included in the price?
Crane, installation, commissioning and load tests are shown as separate items; a turnkey offer can also be prepared.
