Wall Traveling Jibs & Special Applications 

If your overhead material handling requirements are out of the ordinary, don’t hesitate to give EMH a call. We have the design and engineering skills to provide solutions for unusual applications. 

Standard Double Girder Cranes

Double girder cranes can be utilized at any capacity where  extremely high hook lift is required because the hook can be pulled up between the girders. Double girder cranes are also ideal where high speeds and heavy service are required. They are well suited for cranes that require walkways, crane lights, cabs, magnet cable reels or other special equipment.


This is also a common application area supported by crane service in Aberdeen, SD and across the U.S. for demanding duty cycles.

Under Running Cranes

EMH offers a complete range of single and double girder under running cranes. Standard capacities to 10 tons; special configurations up to 25 tons and over 90 foot spans. Underhung cranes offer excellent side approaches, close headroom and can be supported on runways hung from existing building members if adequate.

 Selecting the Proper

Crane Configuration

The structure of an overhead crane is determined by many factors, including the height to which it must be lifted, the distance it must be moved, and the strength and structure of the building in which it will be operated.

The advantages of the various structural designs are outlined on
these pages, showing examples of common designs along with basic
specifications. In addition, our Sales and Technical Staffs can assist
you in selecting the most appropriate and economical crane for your
application.

Precast Concrete Buildings
The NOMAD can often be installed without footers, eliminating the need for digging through and damaging existing floors. 
Leased Buildings
All of the NOMAD’s connections are bolted for easy disassembly and relocation. If you think you may move sometime in the future, you easily can take the NOMAD to a new site.
Buildings not designed specifically for
overhead cranes.
The NOMAD’s free standing structure supports loads your building’s steel might not handle. And the low overhead design allows it to fit into sites where headroom might otherwise be a problem.
Think again if you’ve ruled out an overhead crane. NOMAD can give you the material handling you need at a price you’ll like. Call EMH today for details.
