What are the main factors that affect the price of an overhead crane?

The price of an overhead crane depends primarily on four variables: lifting capacity (in tons), span between rails, required hook height, and duty cycle—that is, the frequency and intensity of work cycles. A 5-ton crane for occasional maintenance is not at all the same as a 30-ton crane for continuous production. At Protech, we manufacture our box girders using submerged arc welding robots, a technology that guarantees consistent weld quality and superior durability compared to manual welding. The result: equipment that performs reliably over the long term and costs you less in unexpected maintenance. The best approach before budgeting? Define your usage needs with a Protech specialist, rather than focusing solely on tonnage.
