Overhead Handling of Materials in Industrial Environment
Material handling is one of the key phenomena in any industrial environment.
The mechanical device
to be adopted for such handling depends upon a number of factors such as weight of the materials,
distance to be handled, frequency and repetitiveness of handling, economy of time and cost, safety
and the process of manufacturing.
An environment of high degrees of temperature and distancing
away from such environment is another aspect that necessitates handling of materials through
overhead cranes.
There are a number of major industrial segments that depend upon the deployment
of Overhead cranes.
They are Paper Mills, Steel Plants, Sugar Mills, Cement Plants, Chemical Sector
and Railways.
An overhead crane, also called a bridge crane operating over the working environment, runs
horizontally over two parallel runways coupled to a traveling bridge.
The lifting component, hoist
travels along the bridge to lift materials.
