Types of overhead end carriage

Crane end carriages

Motorized overhead  end carriage

Track wheel maintenance is easy because of the open frame construction. Travel is smooth because of a guide mechanism with side rollers.

Crane end carriages

Urethane Wheel Motorized Overhead End Carriage

Durability has been improved with our own developed urethane wheels. The urethane wheels run directly over the top flange of the H-beam, thus reducing noise and vibration in travel. It is not necessary to install a light rail thus reducing installation costs and time. Travel is smooth because of a guide mechanism with side rollers.

Crane end carriages

Motorized Overhead Double Girder End Carriage

Track wheel maintenance is easy because of the open frame construction. Travel is smooth because of a guide mechanism with side rollers.

Crane end carriages

Urethane Wheel Motorized Overhead Double Girder End Carriage

Durability has been improved with our own developed urethane wheels. The urethane wheels run directly over the top flange of the H-beam, thus reducing noise and vibration in travel. It is not necessary to install a light rail thus reducing installation costs and time. Travel is smooth because of a guide mechanism with side rollers.
