Crane Customer Concerns – What Is the Price to Buy a Crane?

overhead cranes are essential equipment for a variety of industries, including manufacturing, construction, and logistics. They offer the ability to move heavy objects quickly and safely, reducing the risk of injury to workers and improving productivity. If you need to buy a crane, one of the most important factors is the crane price.

Cranes include many types, such as overhead cranes/bridge cranes, gantry cranes, jib cranes, electric hoists, etc. Overhead cranes are used for the same purpose as other types of cranes, for lifting and horizontal movement of materials. Bridge cranes are usually classified by structure into the following two types.

1. Single girder crane——cheap and simple structure.
2. Double girder crane——mainly used for heavy material handling and frequent working conditions.

Overhead Crane Price Philippines

Every day we receive many customers contacting us to inquire about the crane price. Maybe you are buying overhead cranes for the first time, or maybe you have bought cranes many times. In any case, the crane price is an important consideration for everyone to buy a crane. Yuantai’s factory is located in Xinxiang City, Henan Province, the hometown of cranes in China. For decades, we have been providing sincere quotations to customers all over the world. Here we first make a brief list of the prices of common tonnage overhead cranes, and then we discuss in detail the factors that determine the price of overhead cranes. (Overhead crane type, span, lifting capacity, working cycle, working environment, etc., all affect the manufacturing cost of overhead cranes.)

60 ton overhead crane	up to 10.5 meters	up to 10 meters	$20000~300000
100 ton overhead crane	up to 10.5 meters	up to 10 meters	$40000~600000

What Factors Affect Overhead Crane Prices?

The overhead crane price is determined by a combination of many factors. Some of the key factors that affect crane prices are the following.

• Types of cranes. The manufacturing cost of different types of overhead cranes can vary greatly, such as single girder hook overhead cranes, and electric hoist double girder cranes. Please follow your type of working conditions and choose the type of overhead crane that best suits your needs.
• Lifting capacity. The lifting capacity of the overhead crane is one of the most important factors affecting its price. The greater the load capacity, the higher the price of the crane will generally be.
• Span. The span of an overhead crane refers to the distance between the runway girders supporting the crane. Longer spans require more material and engineering, which generally makes the crane more expensive.
• Height under the hook. The height under the hook is the distance from the ground to the bottom of the crane’s hook. Higher under-hook heights require taller overhead cranes, which can increase costs.
• Additional features. Additional features, such as wireless controls, special hoisting mechanism configurations, or custom paint jobs, can also affect the final price of the overhead crane.
• Installation and maintenance. When determining the total cost of an overhead crane, installation and maintenance costs should also be considered. Some crane manufacturers may include installation and maintenance costs in their pricing, while others may charge separately.

Overall, many factors determine the final price of an overhead crane. When purchasing an overhead crane, you should carefully consider each factor and choose the crane that best meets your needs and budget.

What Is the Span of the Overhead Crane Required?

The span of an overhead crane refers to the horizontal distance between the centerlines of the crane’s running rails, in meters. The span of the crane is one of the most important factors affecting the cost. The longer the crane’s span, the more material is required to manufacture the crane’s main beam and the cost increases. Therefore, it is essential to accurately measure the span information of the crane.

What is the Rated Lifting Capacity?

The rated lifting capacity of a crane refers to the sum of the weight or material that the crane is allowed to lift, and the mass of the detachable lifting gear (or accessories) (for mobile cranes, including those fixed to the crane). For cranes with variable amplitude, the rated lifting capacity of the crane is specified according to the amplitude. For example, a 100/20 ton lifting capacity means that the main hook is rated at 100 tons and the second hook is rated at 20 tons.
Therefore, you should know the size and weight of the material you will be lifting.

What Is the Working Class of Bridge Cranes？

• How often is the crane used?
• How fast does the crane need to move equipment or materials?
• Is a crane required for regular or frequent service?
• What is the average load rating of the material that will be moved?
• How often will the crane be producing at full capacity?

Some customers tend to confuse the most common job levels and lifting weights. In fact, for overhead cranes, the working class is a composite reflection of how busy the machine is at full load in terms of working hours and lifting weight. That is to say, the lifting capacity of the crane refers to the maximum mass of the lifting capacity of the equipment at one time, and the working level is the comprehensive working characteristic parameters of the crane. When the work level is low, the product may also be a heavy-duty crane. When the work level is high, the product can also be a light crane. We cannot simply assume that a high-level job is a particularly heavy job, and a low-level job is an easy job.
Therefore, if a customer chooses an overhead crane, he only pays attention to the lifting capacity of the crane and ignores the working level, and uses the overhead crane of light working level frequently and overloaded, which will accelerate the scrapping of various parts of the crane, resulting in frequent machines. failure, or even a safety accident.

What Type of Overhead Crane Do You Need?

The overhead crane is a complex large-scale equipment, including many different types, such as LH-type electric hoist double girder overhead crane, QD-type double girder overhead Electric Winch crane, LX-type suspension single girder overhead crane, etc. The application industry of the crane, the application environment and the type of material being lifted determine which types of overhead cranes you can choose.
The price of different types of overhead cranes can vary widely, for example, the cost of a 10 ton double girder overhead crane is much higher than a 10 ton single girder overhead crane. Therefore, according to your working conditions, choose the most cost-effective bridge crane among the machines that can meet your needs. You need Yuantai’s professional engineers to accurately calculate the price for you.

What Is the Operating Environment Like?

In environments such as high temperature, severe cold, and excessive chemical substances, special metal coatings and special process components may be required to ensure that the overhead crane can withstand the conditions of the operating environment.
For example, in sites such as sewage treatment plants, oil, and gas processing plants, etc., the equipment is required not to produce any sparks. Therefore, it is necessary to choose an explosion-proof bridge crane that uses a specially designed electrical system to prevent explosions, but additional special component designs or processes will increase the cost of the crane. Many complex operating environments require specific analysis of specific problems. Yuantai has a professional team that can analyze problems for you and provide customized crane solutions.
