OVERHEAD CRANES
TYPES & CONFIGURATIONS
SINGLE GIRDER OVERHEAD CRANE
Cost-effective overhead cranes for light to medium-duty applications, lifting up to 25 tonnes with spans of up to 35 m. Commonly used across workshops and manufacturing environments.
DOUBLE GIRDER OVERHEAD CRANE
Heavy-duty overhead crane systems for loads up to 540 tonnes. Ideal for demanding industrial applications including heavy engineering, rail yards, ports and large-scale production facilities.
JIB CRANE
Freestanding, column-mounted and wall-travelling jib cranes for localised lifting tasks. Standard capacities range from 80 kg to 6 tonnes.
PORTAL CRANE
Single and double girder portal and semi-portal cranes for large spans and outdoor applications, with capacities up to 540 tonnes and spans exceeding 35 m.
Overhead crane systems can be supplied with a range of electric chain and wire rope hoists selected to suit the required capacity, duty cycle and operating environment.

Committed to Overhead Crane Safety & Compliance
Overhead crane systems can significantly improve workplace safety by reducing manual handling and replacing forklift-based lifting operations on the workshop floor.
From design and engineering through installation, commissioning and maintenance, RGM Cranes prioritises operational safety at every stage of the crane lifecycle. All systems are manufactured and refurbished in our ISO 9001-certified facility in Johannesburg and designed to comply with SANS 10375:2018 requirements.
