Our Proven Process: See it in Action
We know cranes.
Top running overhead crane
Simple design and efficient use of material make this the most common crane configuration. Zelus can design and manufacture top-running cranes as single or double-girder using either profile or box beam construction for any capacity with design capabilities that can well exceed 100 tons and spans longer than 200 feet.
Under running overhead crane
An under running crane allows the runway support structure to be above the serviced area of the crane. Available in single or double girder designs using profile or box beam construction. Additional end trucks can be added mid-span to reduce loads on the supporting structure.
Gantry crane
A gantry crane is used for partial span or completely self-supporting high-capacity lifting. A semi gantry has a runway on one end and a supporting leg on the other. A full gantry uses legs at both ends to support the bridge, trolley and hoist. Zelus has standard designs or completely custom solutions for your unique application.
Runway systems
A runway is the parallel beams that support the crane's bridge. An essential component of an overhead crane, it's prone to failure if not engineered, manufactured and installed properly—which is why industrial customers and crane manufacturers alike come to Zelus.
Jib crane
Jib cranes are a cost-effective, localized solution for repetitive lifting in a defined space. They can be freestanding systems or can be supported by the building structure. Lighter models have the option of push-pull. Partial power to fully powered motion, including rotation, is possible.
Workstation crane
Workstation cranes range from light duty/capacity systems that utilize light extruded structures, to heavy higher capacity systems that use HSS or hot rolled beams. These crane systems can be basic push-pull systems, partially powered or fully powered in all directions.
Monorail crane
Monorail cranes are used to move lifting devices along a single axis. A monorail hoist system is well-suited for applications where material is moved along a fixed path and when maintenance is being performed on stationary equipment.
We'll make sure you know exactly what you'll need.
