At American Crane & Equipment Corporation (ACECO), we know that every industrial operation demands efficiency, reliability, and precision. Our bridge cranes are designed to meet these needs, providing a powerful and efficient way to handle heavy loads. Whether you’re moving materials across a factory floor or lifting equipment in a manufacturing facility, our bridge cranes ensure that your operations run smoothly and safely. Discover how bridge cranes enhance industrial lifting efficiency and streamline operations with tailored solutions for your unique needs.
What is a Bridge Crane?
A bridge crane, also known as an overhead crane, is a vital piece of equipment in many industrial environments. It consists of several key components:
Bridge: The bridge is the central structure of the crane, made up of girders, trucks, end ties, a walkway, and a drive mechanism. This structure spans the width of your workspace and supports the trolley, which carries the load. The bridge moves along a
fixed runway, allowing the crane to transport materials efficiently across the area.
Bridge Girder: The bridge girder is the main horizontal structural member that supports the crane bridge. Supported by end trucks, the girder evenly distributes the load’s weight as the crane moves along the runway beams.
How American Crane Supports Your Efficiency
At ACECO, we design our bridge cranes to optimize your operations. Here’s how we support your efficiency:
Precision Handling: Our bridge cranes provide precise control over load movement, allowing you to position materials accurately. This precision minimizes the risk of damage and enhances safety, ensuring that your operations are both effective and secure.
Enhanced Safety: With our overhead cranes, the lifting and moving of heavy loads are automated, significantly reducing the risk of workplace injuries. We design our cranes to keep your team safe while managing large items from a safe distance.
Streamlined Workflow: Our bridge cranes enable quick and efficient material movement, reducing downtime and boosting productivity. We optimize your workflow from start to finish by tailoring our solutions to your specific needs.

Maintaining and repairing bridges is essential for public safety and infrastructure longevity. At American Crane & Equipment Corporation (ACECO), we offer advanced solutions for these critical tasks, including our specialized bridge maintenance and repair travelers. Bridge repair travelers play a vital role providing safe and efficient access to the undersides of bridges, surpassing traditional scaffolding methods.
What are Bridge Maintenance and Repair Travelers?
Bridge repair travelers are movable platforms that enable technicians to inspect and maintain bride structures from beneath. These platforms are designed to move along the bridge, allowing uninterrupted traffic flow while work is being done. They come equipped with numerous features to ensure safety and efficiency, such as:
Anti-skewing technology: Ensures stable operation on uneven or misaligned runways.
Fully enclosed work platforms: Provides a secure environment to prevent falls.
Non-slip surfaces: Reduces the risk of slipping and accidents.
On-board personnel lifts: Enhances accessibility to various bridge areas.
Portable controls: Facilitates easy and precise operation.
Redundant drop capture systems: Prevents separation from the bridge for added safety.
