Underslung Cranes
Underslung Cranes are engineered for shops where roof space and headroom are limited and conventional top-running cranes cannot be accommodated. Instead of running on standard gantry girders, these cranes travel on the bottom flange of roof-mounted runways, enabling full utilization of floor space while keeping the shop layout obstruction-free.
They are best suited for light to medium-duty handling in assembly units, machine shops, warehouses, and material transfer bays.

Key Highlights
Ideal for low-clearance buildings and restricted headroom conditions
Lightweight design that reduces load on roof structure
Maximizes floor workspace with no columns or ground-level obstructions
Suitable for material transfer between adjacent bays or workstations
Compact hoist and trolley for reduced hook approaches and improved coverage
Precision-aligned wheels designed for bottom-running tracks
Low-noise geared motors with high thermal efficiency and long duty cycles
Custom runway beams with bracing for structural stiffness
IP-rated control panels and motors for industrial environments
Seamless integration with interbay transfer or monorail extensions
Curved or multi-span monorail paths for inter-process movement
Auto transfer system between bays using track switches
Anti-sway drives for precise positioning in assembly applications
Flameproof construction for chemical and hazardous industries
Stainless-steel hoist components for corrosive or food-grade environments
Load display, condition monitoring, and wireless diagnostics
Efficient use of vertical space where headroom is limited
No disruption to material flow due to zero floor obstructions
Lower structural cost as runway beams attach to existing building trusses
Highly adaptable to irregular shop layouts and multi-bay processes
Smooth, controlled handling reduces wear and operational fatigue
Cost-effective solution for light-to-medium duty applications
