10-TON OVERHEAD CRANE: TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS, SELECTION CRITERIA, AND HEAVY-DUTY SOLUTIONS
What is a 10-Ton Overhead Traveling Crane?
A 10-ton overhead traveling crane is a rail crane system designed to lift and transport loads up to 10,000 kg safely and controllably in industrial facilities. The most preferred crane capacity in Turkey is the 10-ton class. This is due to both its economical investment level and wide range of applications.
10-ton capacity offers an optimum transportation solution in machine manufacturing, steel construction, prefabricated concrete, automotive, and general industrial facilities.

How Does a 10-Ton Overhead Traveling Crane Work?
This system is based on a three-axis movement principle:
1. The bridge moves back and forth on the rail along the building.
2. The hoist moves left and right on the bridge.
3. The hook moves up and down, lifting the load.
This combination allows access to every point within the facility.

Types of 10-Ton Overhead Traveling Cranes
1️⃣ Single Girder 10-Ton Overhead Traveling Crane
Preferred in some light-to-medium density facilities.
Advantages:
• More economical
• Lighter construction
• Faster installation
However, double girder is generally recommended for heavy duty.

2️⃣ Double Girder 10-Ton Overhead Traveling Crane
This is the most commonly used 10-ton system in industry. Advantages:
• Higher rigidity
• Greater lifting height
• Safer handling
• Longer lifespan
Double girder design is mostly preferred in Eser Crane projects. ________________________________________
