New Side-Running Trolley Overhead Crane Commissioned at Styron Kft.
We are delighted to announce the commissioning of our latest **side-running trolley overhead crane** for Styron Kft.! The crane was installed in the company's manufacturing hall, which was converted from an old warehouse building.
The unique feature of the **side-running trolley overhead crane** is that the trolley runs on the **side** of the main girder, not underneath it. This not only allows for **greater lifting height** but also significantly **reduces the self-weight of the structure**, especially for large spans. The crane was built with **a single main girder**, which meant less steel was required (approximately 4000 kg instead of the typical 6000 kg for a comparable design), while still providing the **desired load capacity**.
The system has a total load capacity of **10 tons**, achieved by linking **two 5-ton chain hoists**. This solution provides a **lower installation height** and allows for an **extremely high upper hook position**, without requiring high lifting speeds or a high duty cycle.
We thank Styron Kft. for their trust and wish them great success with their new crane!
