Redfern Flinn Lifting Equipment designs and manufactures a wide range of lifting equipment, from custom lifting attachments to jibs and large overhead cranes.
An overhead crane (also known as a bridge crane or overhead travelling crane) is used to lift and move large and heavy items in a production area or warehouse. Overhead cranes safely lift objects using a chain hoist or wire rope and can move horizontally on a rail or pair of rails fitted under a beam within your warehouse or factory. Depending upon the load to be lifted, the hoist recommended is either a Swiss designed and manufactured GIS electric chain hoist or a Spanish designed and manufactured GH wire rope hoist. Both hoists are renowned for their quality and reliability.
All overhead crane components can be controlled either with pendants or remote controls, providing a versatile lifting solution. Roving pendant controls are also available.
Redfern Flinn can design and manufacture your overhead crane bridge, as well as the structure – both rails and runways. We can provide you with overhead cranes that are designed by our in-house engineering team according to Australian Standards AS 1418 and AS 2550.1.
If you’re considering a new overhead crane for your factory or warehouse, speak with the specialists at Redfern Flinn Lifting Equipment in Sydney, Melbourne or Newcastle.
