As a core piece of equipment in the field of industrial lifting, bridge cranes are widely used in manufacturing, warehousing, steel production, energy, ports, and many other industries. For overseas customers purchasing for the first time or planning to upgrade their crane systems, understanding the product and key technical points is essential.
This article answers the most frequently asked questions raised during product selection, usage, and after-sales service, helping you better understand and choose the right bridge crane for your needs.
1. What types of bridge cranes are available? How should I choose the right one?
Bridge cranes are mainly categorized as follows:
- Single Girder Bridge Crane:
Simple structure, ideal for light to medium-duty lifting (under 10 tons). Commonly used in warehouses, maintenance workshops, etc. - Double Girder Bridge Crane:
High load capacity (up to 200 tons or more), suitable for heavy-duty applications such as steel mills and machinery processing plants. - Underhung (Suspension) Crane:
Suspended from the ceiling structure, suitable for facilities with limited space and lighter lifting requirements. - Customized Cranes:
Such as metallurgical cranes, grab cranes, explosion-proof cranes, etc., designed for specific working environments.
📌 Selection criteria: Lifting capacity, lifting height, span, working frequency, and environment. If you have drawings or site data, we can provide free selection advice.
2. What certifications do your cranes have? Which countries can you export to?
Our bridge cranes are certified by ISO, CE, GOST (Russia), SASO (Saudi Arabia), and meet the technical and safety standards of major export markets.
We have successfully exported to:
✅ Southeast Asia (Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam)
✅ Middle East (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Turkey)
✅ Eastern Europe (Russia, Ukraine, Poland)
✅ Africa and Latin America
Our experienced export team can assist in preparing all necessary documents for customs clearance, such as Certificate of Origin (CO), Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Insurance Policy, and Bill of Lading (B/L).
3. What is the delivery time for the cranes?
- Standard products (e.g., 5-ton single girder crane): approximately 15–25 working days.
- Custom products (e.g., double girder cranes or non-standard track systems): approximately 30–45 working days, depending on complexity.
We offer complete export packaging and international logistics solutions, supporting sea freight, rail, and multimodal transport to ensure the equipment arrives at the destination port safely and efficiently.
4. How are installation and commissioning handled? Do you provide technical support?

- 🛠️ Long-term technical support with response time within 24 hours
5. What is the service life of a bridge crane? Is maintenance expensive?
With proper use and regular maintenance, the designed lifespan of a bridge crane can reach over 15 years.
We use high-quality steel structures, branded electrical systems (e.g., Schneider, Siemens), and reliable electric hoists to ensure long-term stable performance.
Routine maintenance includes:
- Regular lubrication of wire ropes and pulleys
- Inspection of electrical terminals
- Replacement of worn parts (e.g., brake pads, pulley bearings)
➡️ Maintenance is low-cost and easy to manage for operators.
