Bridge Crane

We design and manufacture shipyard cranes—including portal cranes, bridge cranes, and gantry cranes—engineered for safe, efficient lifting and handling in shipyards and heavy industrial facilities, with tailor-made capacities, spans, and duty cycles.
Bridge Crane

Overhead lifting for shipyards, industrial & civil projects

Cimolai Technology Bridge Cranes are engineered for high performance in shipyards as well as industrial and civil applications, supporting efficient handling of heavy components, structures, and equipment.
Each overhead bridge crane is custom designed to match your operational needs, with scalable options for lifting capacity, span, lifting height, duty class, runway layout, and hoist configuration. Integrated advanced control and safety systems enable smooth travel and accurate positioning, improving productivity while reducing operational risk. Built for long-term reliability and intensive duty cycles, Cimolai Technology bridge cranes help optimize workflows in complex environments.

Bridge Crane Key Features

WHEELS

Double flanged forged steel wheels. Customizable wheel configuration and spacing to meet the wheel load and space requirements

CUSTOMIZABLE LIFTING SPREADERS

Wide range of spreader beams customizable for a more suitable lifting of the concrete elements and to meet the customer requirements, including digged material loading and unloading system when destined to shaft applications

LIFTING TROLLEYS

Trolleys movingalong the top beam(s) to displace the max load

EXTENDED WIRE ROPE LIFE

Longer service life and durabilityof the wire ropes thanks to:

  • constant clockwise/counter-clockwise spooling;
  • grooved winch drums with 1 or 2 winding layers;
  • increased number of load-bearing sections and optimized wire rope diameters:

Structure

100% manufactured in Cimolai Technology’s workshops in Italy, steel plates come exclusively from primary European Companies. The structure is designed as per the latest FEM and UNI EN standards and is made of box girders with inner stiffening elements, optimizing the structural resistance.
