20 TON OVERHEAD CRANE High-Capacity Professional Lifting Systems for Heavy Industry
What is a 20-Ton Overhead Crane?
A 20-ton overhead crane is a heavy-duty bridge crane system that operates on an in-factory rail system and has a maximum lifting capacity of 20,000 kg. It is one of the most preferred capacity classes in medium and heavy industrial facilities. This capacity is an ideal solution for:
• Steel structure production
• Large machine manufacturing
• Prefabricated concrete plants
• Energy equipment assembly
• Heavy equipment handling operations

How Does a 20-Ton Overhead Crane Work?
The system operates with three basic movement principles:
1️⃣ The bridge moves back and forth on the rail
2️⃣ The trolley moves left and right on the bridge
3️⃣ The hook lifts up and down
Thanks to this structure, complete control is provided within the production area.

Types of 20-Ton Overhead Cranes
1️⃣ Double Girder 20-Ton Overhead Crane (Standard Heavy Duty)
Double girder design is generally preferred for 20-ton capacity cranes. Advantages:
✔ Higher rigidity
✔ Safer handling
✔ Wider span
✔ Longer lifespan
It is the standard solution in heavy industry.
