7.5-Ton Overhead Crane Examples
Example 1 – 7.5 Ton Overhead Crane for Stone and Marble Fabricator
This 7.5-ton single girder bridge crane was designed for a stone and marble fabrication facility — an environment where precise load control, maximum hook coverage, and minimal interference with daily operations are critical. The project presented several structural challenges: an existing sunken loading dock, office window sightlines that dictated column placement, and active forklift traffic patterns that couldn't be disrupted. TSOC engineers developed a custom 132-foot runway solution that addressed each constraint while also engineering four runway columns with capacity for future 1-ton jib cranes — building flexibility into the structure from day one.

- Runway: 12.5-ton capacity, 132 ft. 0 in. overall length.
- Custom footing engineered to span a sunken loading dock, requiring an additional foot of runway length.
- Runway support centers were custom-designed to account for office window sightlines and forklift traffic inside the facility.
- T-columns used to account for longitudinal and latitudinal forces in place of kickers and headers.
- Custom runway cantilevers designed to maximize hook coverage throughout the facility.
- Four runway columns engineered with structural capacity to support future 1-ton jib cranes.
- Installation performed by our TSOC crane crew.
