Crane trestle
A crane overpass is a metal structure on which an overhead crane can move. At the same time, it can be both single-girder bridge cranes (girder crane) and double-girder bridge cranes.
The crane overpass assembly consists of three basic elements:
- Crane overpass support
- Crane support track
- Crane rail
Installation of a crane overpasses is possible both indoors and outdoors. The metal consumption of the structure depends directly on the number and capacity of the cranes installed on it. The length of the crane trestle is usually determined by the length of the workshop in which it is installed.

According to the type of construction there are only two types of crane overpasses:
- for supporting bridge cranes
- for suspended bridge cranes
Placement of the crane overpass can be either free-standing or tied to the structure of the building.
The crane overpass is an open-type structure without fences. A support crane on a solid, well-designed and reliably installed overpass is a unit that increases the productivity of workshops, the speed of loading and unloading operations at piers and railway stations, easy transfer and delivery of large units in warehouses.
