Description

Crane runway beams

Handling heavy loads requires special equipment — above all, an overhead crane, without which such work is impossible. Crane runway beams are essential for correct and safe crane operation. You can order them on our website.

What is a crane runway beam?

A crane runway beam is part of the lifting equipment structure. Its main purpose is to serve as the track for an overhead crane. Beams of this type are also used to provide spatial rigidity to the building frame. Runway beams are installed on column brackets. Unlike ordinary building beams, they take vertical pressure from the crane.

Overhead crane runway beams can be classified by the following factors: Design scheme.

Beams can be framed, continuous or simply supported (split).

Connection method.

Riveted, welded and combined products are distinguished.

Design solution.

Lattice and solid-web beams are available.

Load application method.

Under-running or top-running.

The choice of beam depends on the complexity of the work and span sizes. Simply supported beams are easy to install but consume more material.

Continuous beams are more difficult to install, but material consumption is minimal.

Steel beams can be installed on reinforced concrete columns and steel frames. Surge trusses can also be mounted on them. To prevent corrosion, the beam should be regularly treated.
