In a recent feature article, "Hoist Magazine," the only international magazine with news and information focused on overhead cranes and industrial lifting equipment, highlighted bridge cranes. Titled "Steading the ship," the feature article assessed the "demand for overhead lifting equipment in U.S. shipyards." Therein, the Department of Transportation's American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) was put under the spotlight. In particular, the act's Small Shipyard Grants Program is setting aside up to "75% in ARRA funds" to improve small shipyards. Having to invest only 25% of the total cost, shipyards are taking advantage of this funding en masse. And one of the main ways in which they're doing so is with overhead bridge cranes. As one expert in the article pointed out, "The majority of overhead material handling products in shipyards are overhead cranes on rails," primary among them being bridge cranes. The newfound demand for these cranes is good news for manufacturers and distributors of shipyard cranes. The cranes that are suddenly experiencing such a resurgence at shipyards come in two varietiesceiling mounted and floor supported-to handle even the most challenging overhead lifting requirements. The former cranes are an ideal solution for both indoor and outdoor situations in which support structures may interfere with lifting operations. On the downside, they require a building with an adequate overhead structure to hang the crane This is in contrast to the latter floor supported (aka free standing) cranes, which do not put stress on a building's overhead structure, but do require a reinforced concrete floor of at least six inches. What sets bridge cranes apart from jib cranes is that they cover rectangular areas-the shape of most shipyards-as opposed to circular areas. Once properly installed by a bridge crane specialist, they're easy to operate and provide a full range of movement. Installation by a specialist is paramount to the system's safe and efficient operation. An expert in material handling equipment will ensure the customer's utmost satisfaction with the right crane to get the job done properly. A reputable crane specialist will also carry only high-quality equipment and offer a full range of related services included with the purchase price of a bridge crane system. These tie-in offerings include process evaluation and analysis to determine the right equipment, engineering and design, project management, start-up assistance and training, and complete installation and service. Shipyards aren't the only industry putting bridge cranes to good use these days. In a related article title "Metal on metal," "Hoist Magazine" spoke to several suppliers and users of overhead lifting equipment in the U.S. plating and galvanising industries. One such source highlighted its use of bridge cranes over its process tanks. The cranes provide the galvanizing specialist with a viable
option to hoists and monorails. Other popular uses for bridge cranes include any application that requires hoist coverage over a rectangular area, like a manufacturing bay. They enable the positioning of a hoist at any point within the rectangle, thereby permitting lifting, lowering and transportation throughout the area.
