Industrial Chain Hoists | Shri Sai Cranes Maharashtra

Shri Sai Cranes Works Pvt. Ltd. provides industrial crane and material handling solutions for manufacturing plants, engineering industries, automobile component manufacturers, fabrication workshops and other industrial applications.

An under slung crane is an overhead travelling crane in which the bridge travels on the lower flanges of elevated runway beams. This arrangement can be useful where the building structure, available headroom and layout make an under-running crane suitable.

Our team helps customers evaluate their lifting requirements, available building structure, load capacity, span, lifting height and operating conditions to identify an appropriate crane configuration.

What Is an Under Slung Crane?

An under slung crane, also known as an under-running overhead crane, is designed to travel beneath its supporting runway beams. Unlike a conventional top-running overhead crane, its bridge travels on the lower flanges of the runway system.

Under slung cranes can be considered for industrial facilities where overhead material handling is required and the building layout or structural arrangement favours an under-running configuration.

The suitability of an under slung crane depends on factors such as building structure, runway beam design, lifting capacity, span, headroom, travel distance, operating frequency and the intended application. Structural assessment is essential before finalizing the crane design.

Key Features and Benefits of Under Slung Cranes

Under-Running Design

The crane travels beneath its supporting runway beams.

Overhead Material Handling

Supports lifting and movement of materials across a designated work area.

Space Utilization

May be suitable for facilities where the building arrangement favours an under-running crane system.

Application-Based Configuration

Crane design can be evaluated according to the facility layout and operating requirements.

Production Support

How to Select the Right Under Slung Crane

Selecting the right under slung crane requires careful evaluation of both the lifting application and the building structure.

01

1. Lifting Capacity

Determine the maximum load to be lifted, including relevant lifting accessories as required by the crane design.

02

2. Crane Span

Identify the distance the crane bridge needs to cover across the working area.

03

3. Lifting Height and Headroom

Evaluate the required lifting height, available vertical clearance and hook approach.

04

4. Runway Beam and Building Structure

Assess the supporting beams, connections and building structure for the loads imposed by the crane. A qualified structural assessment is essential.

05

5. Travel Length

Specify the required longitudinal travel distance along the runway.

06

6. Operating Frequency

Consider how frequently the crane will operate and the appropriate duty classification.

07

7. Hoist and Controls

Select compatible hoisting equipment, trolley arrangements and control systems according to the application.

08

8. Working Environment

Evaluate indoor or outdoor conditions, dust, moisture, temperature and other relevant site factors.

Common Material Handling Challenges and Under Slung Crane Solutions

PROBLEM 01

Problem 1: Need for Overhead Material Movement

Challenge: Materials need to be moved between workstations without relying entirely on floor-level movement.

Solution: An under slung crane may provide overhead lifting and travel where the building structure, runway arrangement and operating requirements are suitable.

PROBLEM 02

Problem 2: Limited Headroom or Building Layout Constraints

Challenge: A factory needs an overhead crane, but the available building layout makes crane selection more complex.

Solution: An application and structural assessment can help determine whether an under-running crane arrangement is appropriate or whether another crane configuration would be more suitable.

PROBLEM 03

Problem 3: Repetitive Material Transfer During Production

Challenge: Components must be lifted and transferred repeatedly across a production or assembly area.

Solution: A properly selected overhead crane system can support planned material movement and improve workflow within its designed operating area.

Frequently Asked Questions About Under Slung Cranes

1. What is an under slung crane?

An under slung crane is an overhead travelling crane whose bridge travels on the lower flanges of supporting runway beams. It is also known as an under-running overhead crane.

2. What is the difference between an under slung crane and a top-running EOT crane?

An under slung crane travels beneath its runway beams, while a top-running crane travels on top of the runway rails or beams. The suitable design depends on the building structure, available headroom, load, span and application.

3. Where are under slung cranes commonly used?

They may be used in selected manufacturing plants, engineering workshops, assembly areas, automobile component facilities and other industrial environments where an under-running arrangement is suitable.
