Description

As a versatile and cost-effective material handling equipment, the 5 tons overhead crane is widely used in medium-duty industrial scenarios. It is designed to lift, move, and position loads up to 5 tons with high precision, significantly improving workflow efficiency while ensuring operational safety. This crane integrates a sturdy bridge structure, a movable trolley, and a lifting hoist, making it suitable for both indoor workshops and outdoor yards.

Core Features

The 5 tons overhead crane stands out for its practicality and reliability, with key features including:

1. Robust Structural Design: Adopts high-quality Q235B or Q355B steel for the main beam and end beams, ensuring strong load-bearing capacity and resistance to deformation under long-term use.
2. Enhanced Safety Configuration: Equipped with multiple safety devices, such as overload protectors, upper/lower limit switches for lifting, and emergency stop buttons, to prevent accidents caused by human error or equipment failure.
3. Smooth & Efficient Operation: Uses variable-frequency drives (VFD) for trolley and crane travel, enabling stepless speed adjustment. This reduces load sway and ensures stable positioning of heavy items.
4. Easy Maintenance & Customization: Modular components (e.g., hoist, motor) allow quick replacement and low maintenance costs. It can be customized with different spans, lifting heights, or explosion-proof features to fit specific working conditions.

Types of 5 Tons Overhead Cranes

Based on structural design and application needs, the 5 tons overhead crane can be divided into the following types:

1. Single Girder Overhead Crane: Lightweight and cost-efficient, with a single main beam. Ideal for workshops with limited space and low to medium lifting frequency (e.g., small machinery factories, warehouses).
2. Double Girder Overhead Crane: Features two parallel main beams, offering higher stability and larger lifting height. Suitable for heavy-duty scenarios, such as steel mills, ports, or large-scale equipment assembly lines.
3. Explosion-Proof Overhead Crane: Modified with explosion-proof motors, electrical components, and cables. Used in hazardous environments with flammable gases or dust (e.g., chemical plants, oil refineries).
4. Metallurgical Overhead Crane: Heat-resistant design with high-temperature-resistant cables and hoists. Specialized for metallurgical processes, such as lifting molten steel or hot ingots in steel plants.

Industry Applications

The 5 tons overhead crane is a staple in various industries due to its flexibility, including:

1. Mechanical Manufacturing: Lifting and assembling machine parts, molds, or finished equipment on production lines.
2. Warehousing & Logistics: Loading/unloading goods (e.g., pallets, containers) from trucks or storing heavy items on high shelves.
3. Metallurgy & Steel: Handling steel coils, ingots, or semi-finished products in steel mills or forging workshops.
4. Chemical Industry: Moving chemical raw materials, reactors, or storage tanks (often using explosion-proof models).
5. Construction & Building Materials: Lifting concrete blocks, steel bars, or construction machinery in prefabricated component factories.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can the 5 tons overhead crane lift loads heavier than 5 tons?

A1: No. Exceeding the rated capacity will trigger the overload protector, which stops the lifting operation immediately. Overloading may cause structural damage or safety accidents, so it must be strictly avoided.

Q2: What is the required installation space for this crane?

A2: The minimum space depends on the crane’s span and lifting height. Generally, the workshop’s clear height (from floor to ceiling) should be at least 1.5 times the lifting height, and the building’s column distance should match the crane’s span. We provide on-site measurement services to confirm installation feasibility.

Q3: How often does the 5 tons overhead crane need maintenance?

A3: Routine maintenance (e.g., checking bolts, lubricating gears, testing safety devices) should be done monthly. A comprehensive inspection (including load testing and electrical system checks) is recommended every 6 months to 1 year, depending on usage frequency.

Q4: Can the crane be customized for outdoor use?

A4: Yes. Outdoor models are equipped with weather-resistant covers for motors and electrical cabinets, as well as anti-rust coatings on steel structures to withstand rain, dust, or extreme temperatures.

Q5: Does the product comply with international safety standards?

A5: All our 5 tons overhead cranes meet ISO, CE, and OSHA standards. They undergo strict quality testing before delivery, including load tests and safety performance checks, to ensure compliance with global industrial safety requirements.
