Providing you excellent value for your application, single girder designs allow you to be cost effective without compromising performance. With reduced wheel load requirements, our single girder option will save you money on support structure upgrades, allowing you to maximize the lifting capabilities of your existing runway structure.
Under Running Overhead Cranes or
Bridge Cranes are an ideal solution when headroom is limited. The crane travels underneath the runway, which allows you to maximize the distance from the ground to the hook. Offered in both single, double and box girder designs, there are enough options to suit your application.

Crane runways are subject to vertical stress, horizontal stress, impact loads, pulling and lifting actions and thermal expansion. Runway rails slip, girders deflect and rotate, and columns deform. Of all structural elements in a plant building, crane runways are among the most susceptible to failure.
O’Brien specializes in crane runway system design and installation. With over 50 years’ of experience, our professionals understand the dynamics of a rigid system that must withstand a great deal of movement and flexibility.
Runway problems can be avoided. O’Brien specialists build, re-build, install and repair crane runway systems that save customers from difficult, expensive and dangerous runway breakdowns.

Gantry cranes are an ideal solution for applications where lifting is needed without the cost of a building or supporting steelwork. For full and semi-gantry cranes, similar to an overhead crane (or bridge crane), the runway is located on the floor rather than the ceiling. Portable gantry cranes use polyurethane wheels and is completely mobile which is used for light lifting.
Gantry cranes can be placed indoors or outdoors and cost less than an overhead crane system.
For smaller safe working loads, one popular option is the rail-less semi-gantry crane when a floor rail would be an obstruction or too costly. In this case the crane runs on polyurethane wheels.
• Capacities up to 50,000 lbs
• Full and Semi Gantry Crane models run on a rail attached to the floor or ground
• Polyurethane wheels are optional for Semi-Gantry and
Portable Gantry models
• Capacities up to 50,000 lbs
• Single or double girder options available
• Ideal for outdoor applications
• Capacities up to 20,000 lbs
• Ideal for centralized workstations
• Ideal when existing building structures are not suitable to take overhead cranes
• Capacities up to 11,000 lbs
• Lightweight aluminium design
• 4 portable parts on just 4 bolts
