There are many things to know and understand before purchasing an overhead crane. Your purchase is typical to improve productivity and safety within your facility. Therefore you need to take several things into account before your purchase. The lowest bid does not work in the crane industry. There are too many crane variations, safety requirements, and technological features available today that you will miss the boat on if you go with the lowest bid. Not only that, you may get a crane that is not even suitable for your application. In the end, you will overspend on a crane with specifications that are not needed for your application. I have seen way too many times bids on overhead cranes that have specs way over what the application requires. These specs cause them to pay sometimes double the amount for a crane that does not even fit their application. Before you invest your money into a new overhead crane, take into account these ten items that will not only save you money but will invest in the best crane for your application.
