This article will tell about the introduction, structural parts, types, features, specs, price of 5 Ton overhead cranes and overhead crane customization services. It will help to choose your most suitable lifting cranes according to your specific needs.

Overhead Crane 5 Ton Introduction

Henan Dafang Crane has specialized in offering high-quality overhead cranes for 19 years since 2006. Dafang Crane offers a wide range of 5 Ton overhead cranes.

The overhead crane 5 ton (commonly called 5 ton overhead crane) is a versatile medium-light duty lifting solution, designed to fulfill 5 ton capacity overhead crane needs across industries. Its most popular variant is the 5 ton single girder overhead crane—featuring a compact structure that saves workshop space and cuts costs, making it ideal for small-to-medium enterprises.

Key 5 ton overhead crane components include end trucks (for longitudinal movement along overhead rails), an electric hoist (handles vertical lifting and lateral travel), and a control system (pendant, remote, or small cab). The 5 ton overhead crane specifications are practical: max load 5 tons, span 8–22m, and 5 ton overhead crane power requirements (usually 380V three-phase industrial electricity) ensuring stable operation. For outdoor use (e.g., freight yards), the 5 ton overhead gantry crane is suitable, as it doesn’t depend on roof rails.

When purchasing, 5 ton overhead crane for sale options are abundant, and 5 ton overhead crane price (also marked as overhead crane price 5 ton) varies by configuration. Basic models are budget-friendly, while customized ones cost more. Safety is prioritized too: 5 ton overhead crane safety features (overload protection, travel limiters, emergency brakes) meet CE/ISO/EAC standards. Whether moving motor casings in factories or palletized goods in warehouses, the 5 ton overhead crane balances efficiency and reliability, adapting to diverse lifting demands.

5 Ton Single Girder Overhead Crane Parts

The 5 Ton overhead crane has a practical structure. It consists of the steel main girder, the end trucks, the overhead traveling mechanism, the electric hoist, and other parts, each part serving a key role.

Q355 Steel Main Girder (span 8–22m): Load-bearing core, supports the entire crane and 5-ton loads without deformation.
End Trucks (at girder ends): Equipped with 4 driving wheels and small motors, they enable longitudinal movement along overhead rails.

5-Ton Electric Hoist + Trolley: Trolley makes the hoist slide laterally; electric hoist is the core lifting mechanism, responsible for vertical load lifting/lowering.

Dual-Control System: Pendant or remote control. Supports pendant control (for close-range precise operation) and wireless remote (for 50m-range safety in dusty areas). Operates all movements (longitudinal, lateral, lifting), ensuring easy, precise control.

Multi-Layer Safety Parts: Travel limiters (prevent rail overrun), disc brakes (stop movement within 0.5s), and overload sensors (trigger alarm if load exceeds 5.5 tons)—all meet ISO safety standards to avoid accidents.

This structure balances strength and flexibility for workshop/warehouse 5-ton handling.
