Key Components and Working Principle
A standard EOT crane (Electric Overhead Traveling Crane) consists of three main elements:
Bridge Girder: The primary horizontal beam that moves along the runway
Hoist and Trolley: The lifting mechanism that travels across the bridge
Runway System: Fixed rails supporting the crane's movement
This configuration allows the overhead crane to cover the entire work area, providing full three-dimensional mobility for precise load positioning.
