RGM Cranes deals with providing and maintaining equipment geared towards helping you lift over 250kg to 100t. This includes lifting equipment and overhead cranes with varying load capacities for infrequent, everyday work such as lifting engines out of cars or heavy-lifting operations, where cranes with a high duty cycle are required for minimum downtime.

Our knowledge of all our equipment’s practical applications can help you move your operations forward.

OUR RANGE OF OVERHEAD CRANES & LIFTING EQUIPMENT

OVERHEAD CRANES

RGM Cranes provides a large variety of overhead crane options for any operational needs. From entry-level jib cranes using chain hoist mechanisms, to electrical chain hoists and wire rope hoists. These can be used in warehouses, factories or larger areas where they can be built as gantry cranes. Overhead cranes can be assembled in single girder or double girder formats and have load capacities ranging from 250kg to 100t.

LIFTING EQUIPMENT

Lifting equipment refers not only to the cranes we install and service. It also refers to all the parts added to cranes to make them work. RGM has a vast store of all lifting equipment needed to make operations safe and efficient. We can advise you on choosing the correct slings to add to your hoist. Choose from chain, nylon or wire sling; and manual lifting equipment such as chain blocks or manual lever hoists.

WHAT IS AN OVERHEAD CRANE USED FOR?

Overhead cranes assist in the lifting, transport and movement of large, heavy loads in a variety of industries. With a permanent crane mounted above your working area, heavy items can be moved to where they need to be without the use of forklifts or other machinery.

HOW DOES AN OVERHEAD CRANE WORK?

Overhead cranes provide 3-dimensional lifting for heavy loads: side to side; forwards and backwards; and up and down. The lifting device – the hoist or hoist crane – is mounted on a trolley for horizontal movement across a bridge beam connected to one or more horizontal girders (single or double beam) which are supported at either end by end trucks. The end trucks are attached at right angles to the girders and move on fixed runways. The horizontal travel of push-type cranes is powered manually by the operator; alternately, an electric overhead crane is powered by electricity.

WIRED ROPE HOISTS AS AN OVERHEAD SOLUTION

Electric wire rope hoists are the preferred winch system in many heavy duty overhead cranes around the world because of their superior tensile strength. They can be used across a range of load capacities, typically from 5 to 100 tonnes.

UNDERSTANDING TYPES OF CRANES HOISTS

Our range of overhead crane hoists encompasses both electric chain hoists and electric wire rope hoists. Single and dual-speed operations are available. Single-speed is most commonly used for normal lifting and lowering applications, while dual-speed hoists are better suited when more precise movements are required beyond just loading or offloading goods.

In addition to our core products, we carry a full range of chain hoist accessories to ensure we're able to cater for every type of lifting requirement. While we stand by the superior, industry-leading durability of our products, we always keep a full range of spares in stock to ensure your business is supported and functioning optimally at all times.
