Description/ Specification of EOT Crane

EOT Cranes or Electric Overhead Travelling cranes as the name suggest, are used for overhead traction inside factories, Workshops, warehouses, open storage yards etc for movement of various material,tools, and equipment including the large and heavy ones. These cranes are located at the topmost part of the building and can travel horizontally over two rails which are located along side the two walls of the building. There is a trolley which holds the lifting gear and can move from one side wall of the building to the other along a track that runs along the frame of the crane. The trolley and the crane thus can move over the entire space inside the building in mutually perpendicular direction in a horizontal plane. The trolley carries the lifting mechanism which roll the lifting hook rope over a drum or release it, thereby ensuring the movement in the vertically up or down directions. Thus movement in all the three dimensions can be achieved by the EOT crane with the help of electrically driven motors. The trolley also has the driver's cabin. EOT cranes can be of lifting capacity of up to 500tons, thereby making them capable of shifting very heavy material.
