Overhead Bridge Cranes vs. Forklifts

Benefits of Underhung Crane Systems vs. Forklifts
Underhung Crane Systems are more space efficient in many aspects than fork lift trucks because they operate overhead. While fork lifts require aisles to move products from point to point, overhead cranes can move directly from the pick point to the drop station. Since it is overhead, the crane does not interfere with the floor activities.
Other benefits of an underhung crane system compared to a fork truck are:
Lower building maintenance costs (Floor resurfacing)
Far lower equipment maintenance costs
Lower emissions than gas powered trucks
Less product damage
Less facility damage
Lower operating costs
Ability to handle a larger variety of loads
Greater cube density in storage area
Greatly increased operating life of equipment
Increased visual control by operator resulting in safer operation
No area required for batteries or fuel tank storage
