4 The followingexplanation of terms should provide you with the information youwill need to make an informed decision when purchasing materialhandling equipment. On the reverse side of this pamphlet, you willfind an easy to use Request for Quotation form which can befaxed to our office. If you have any questions regarding thisbrochure or any of the products or services we provide, pleasecontact ComponentsBridge - The main travelling structure of the crane which spans thewidth of the bay. The bridge consists of two end trucks and one ortwo bridge girders depending on the Equipment trucks - Located on either side of the span, the end truckshouse the wheels on which the entire crane travels.

5 These wheelsride on the runway beam allowing access to the entire length of Girder(s) - The principal horizontal beam of the cranebridge which supports the trolley and is supported by Hoist - The unit consisting of both the hoist and the trolleyframe. In situations where more than one hoist is required on onecrane, both hoists can be supplied on a single trolley or onseparate - The trolley carries the hoist across the bay along thebridge girder(s) traversing the - The hoist is mounted to the trolley and performs the actuallifting function via a hook or lifting attachment. There are two basictypes of hoist.

6 The Munck brand is a Wire Rope Hoist which isvery durable and will provide long term, reliable usage. The othertype of hoist is the Chain Hoist. These hoists are used for lowercapacity, lighter duty applications and for projects in which cost isa primary deciding TerminologyCapacity - The maximum weight the crane will be required to - The horizontal distance between the rails of the runway onwhich the crane is to travel. Lift or Hook Height - The required distance from the floor to thecrane hook. This dimension is critical in most applications as itdetermines the height of the runway from the floor and isdependent on the clear inside height of the , Trolley and Lift Speeds - The rate at which the bridgeor trolley travels, or at which the hoist lifts, usually in feet perminute or FPM.

7 You may specify either Single Speed or TwoSpeed travel/lift or a specific rate of speed, ( 120 & 30 FPMbridge travel). Another option as far a motion speeds areconcerned is a Variable Frequency Drive. See the Controlsection for more information. Equipment TypesThis section specifies the kind of equipment you Cranes come in four basic configurations;Top Running (T/R) - The crane bridge travels on top of railsmounted on a runway beam supported by either the buildingcolumns or columns specifically engineered for the crane . (Seethe first and second graphics on the front of this pamphlet.)

8 Under Running (U/R) - The crane bridge travels on the bottomflange of the runway beam which is usually supported by the roofstructure. (See the third graphic on the front of this pamphlet.)Single Girder (S/G) - The crane consists of two end trucks, asingle bridge girder and the trolley hoist unit. The trolley runs on thebottom flange of the bridge girder. (See the second and thirdgraphics on the front of this pamphlet.)Double Girder (D/G) - The crane consists of two end trucks, twobridge girders and the trolley hoist unit. The trolley runs on rails ontop of the bridge girders. (See the first graphic on the front of thispamphlet.)

9 A variation on these types of Overhead crane are gantry Cranes are essentially the same as the regular overheadcranes, however, the bridge girder(s) are connected to legs oneither side of the span. These legs eliminate the supportingrunway and column system and connect to end trucks which run ona rail either embedded in, or laid on top of, the some applications only a Trolley Hoist is required. Forinstance, in the case of a monorail system a Trolley Hoist unitsimilar to the one used on single girder Cranes is mounted on abeam which might be used to service an assembly line within theclients facility.

10 Other clients may have an existing single or doublegirder crane bridge and may just want to replace the hoisting most of these situations, capacity permitting, we can provideeither a Wire Rope or Chain solution which may fit your needs is a Jib crane . A JibCrane basically consists of a boom which is supported as acantilever on a column. A Trolley Hoist travels along the boomwhich can rotate up to - The pendant gives the operator precise control over themotions of the crane . There are many configurations of pendantdepending on the functions of the equipment being pushbutton on the pendent controls an operating function ofthe crane .
