It's difficult to find a clear figure online—most manufacturers simply say "it depends" without ever giving a rough estimate. Here's what you really need to consider before launching a lifting project, from the price of the equipment to the actual cost over its lifespan. How much does a new overhead crane cost in Quebec? As an example, for a standard project delivered and installed in Quebec: Monorails and gantries : $15,000 to $40,000 Single girder overhead crane (3 to 5 tons) : $30,000 to...

For a long time, an overhead crane was simple: you press a button, it goes up, it goes down, it moves forward. Efficient, but not always optimal. Today, the equipment that Protech distributes and installs incorporates technologies that tangibly change the reality on the factory floor—fewer shocks, less wear and tear, fewer accidents, and productivity that is measured at the end of the shift. Here are three of these technologies that deserve a closer look. R&M hoists: reliability proven over...

Why modernize an overhead crane rather than replace it? In many industrial environments, the knee-jerk reaction to an aging overhead crane is to consider complete replacement. However, modernization often represents a more strategic and cost-effective solution. Extend the lifespan of existing equipment A well-maintained overhead crane can last for decades. By modernizing key components—electrical, mechanical, or control—it is possible to significantly extend its lifespan without starting from...
