Product Description

Nucleon 10-ton overhead crane is a bridge-type lifting device manufactured by Nucleon (Xinxiang) Crane Co., Ltd. This series of cranes has a rated lifting capacity ranging from 1 to 10 tons, a hoisting speed of 6–30 meters per minute, and a span ranging from 7 to 31.5 meters. They are widely used in manufacturing, logistics, ports, and heavy industry.

The entire product line has obtained CE certification and ISO 9001:2015 quality management system certification, and complies with FEM/ISO 4301 duty cycle standards (A3–A5). Customization is available to fit the specific dimensions of your facility. From model selection to delivery, Nucleon provides comprehensive technical support throughout the entire process.

Main Types of 10-Ton Overhead Cranes

1. Single-Girder Overhead Crane (10 tons)

Features a single-girder structure with an electric hoist running along the lower flange. With its compact design, light weight, and low construction costs, it is suitable for standard spans of 7–31.5 meters and typical factory ceiling heights, making it the most cost-effective choice for general manufacturing and warehousing applications.

2. Double-Girder Bridge Crane (10-Ton)

Features two parallel main girders, with a trolley-mounted hook traveling along the upper rail. It offers greater load-bearing rigidity and a higher hook height, making it suitable for high-frequency, heavy-load, or precision lifting operations. It is widely used in foundries, steel structure fabrication, and heavy equipment manufacturing.

3. European-Style Overhead Crane (10 tons)

Designed in accordance with FEM standards, this crane features low-headroom end beams and integrated variable-frequency drives. It maximizes space utilization in facilities with limited ceiling heights and is particularly suitable for automated production lines and precision machining workshops.

4. Explosion-Proof Bridge Crane (10 tons)

Specifically designed for explosive hazardous environments such as chemical plants, oil refineries, and paint shops. All electrical components comply with ATEX or GB3836 explosion-proof standards, and multiple protection ratings including Ex d, Ex e, and Ex n are available.

5. Grab/Electromagnetic Bridge Crane (10 tons)

Equipped with a hydraulic grab or electromagnetic suction pad, this crane is suitable for handling bulk materials or scrap steel. Commonly found in ports, steel mills, and scrap processing centers, it enables continuous, unmanned material handling.

Main Components of a 10 Ton Overhead Crane

Key Advantages

Standard Variable-Frequency Speed Control for Precise Positioning

Nucleon 10-ton bridge crane series comes standard with Siemens or ABB variable-frequency drives at no extra cost. Variable-frequency control enables stepless speed regulation from 10% to 100%, allowing operators to position the hook with centimeter-level precision. Start-up and stopping are smooth and shock-free, effectively protecting precision workpieces and valuable cargo while significantly reducing mechanical wear.

High-Strength Steel Main Girder: Rigid and Durable

The main girder is constructed from Q345B high-strength structural steel, formed through full-penetration welding. After Sa2.5 shot blasting treatment, each girder undergoes individual dimensional inspection. Under full-load conditions at A5 duty cycle, the main girder deflection is controlled within L/800, meeting FEM/ISO standards and ensuring the equipment maintains structural rigidity throughout its entire lifecycle.

Comprehensive Safety Systems: Standard Equipment, No Compromises

Every crane leaves the factory fully equipped with the following standard features: an overload limiter (activated at 110% of the rated load), upper and lower limit switches for the hoist hook, travel limit switches for both the bridge and trolley, polyurethane bumpers, phase-loss/phase-reversal protection relays, and dual emergency stop buttons located at both the pendant control and the electrical cabinet. All safety devices comply with EN 13001 and ISO 4301 standards, requiring no additional optional upgrades.

Spans of 7–31.5m: Covering the Entire Bay

Nucleon’s 10-ton overhead bridge cranes offer a span range covering 7 to 31.5 meters. A single unit can traverse the entire width of most standard industrial facility bays, thereby eliminating the increased equipment costs and management complexities associated with deploying multiple cranes. Non-standard spans can be customized to match the actual dimensions of the facility, while the modular design of the main girder ensures ease of installation.

Low-Maintenance Design to Reduce Operating Costs

The travel wheels on the end beams and trolleys feature sealed bearings, eliminating the need for routine grease lubrication; an enclosed C-rail conductor system replaces traditional cable drag chains, thereby eliminating the risk of cable wear; and the hoist drums on CD1/MD1 models undergo groove hardening treatment to extend the service life of the wire rope. Collectively, these design features reduce the frequency of scheduled maintenance, minimize unplanned downtime, and significantly lower the total operating costs over the equipment's entire lifecycle.

Application Scenarios

• Automotive & Precision Manufacturing
  Used for inter-station transfer of stamping dies, engine assemblies, and components. Variable frequency micro-speed control achieves centimeter-level positioning accuracy, accommodating multi-shift, high-frequency production operations.
• Steel Structure Fabrication & Heavy Industry
  Suitable for lifting steel plates, structural steel sections, and large structural components; configurable for A4–A5 working classifications. Features motors and control cabinets with standard IP54 protection, meeting the requirements of environments involving dust and splashing cooling water.
• Warehousing & Logistics
  The single-girder structure features a low profile, providing greater hook clearance under the same roof truss height to maximize effective storage space in high-bay warehouses. A maximum span of 31.5 meters allows for coverage across the entire width of the warehouse bay.
• Ports, Shipyards, & Coastal Facilities
  The specialized coastal model is equipped with IP55-rated motors, hot-dip galvanized hardware on the end carriages, and marine-grade epoxy coatings, enabling it to withstand corrosive environments characterized by salt spray and high humidity, thereby effectively extending maintenance intervals.
• Chemical Plants & Hazardous Areas
  Explosion-proof models feature ATEX-certified motors, explosion-proof limit switches, and anti-static wire ropes. These products comply with regulatory requirements for Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas, and are supplied with a complete set of explosion-proof documentation.
• Mechanical Assembly & Maintenance Workshops
  Wireless remote control operation allows workers to move alongside the hoisted load, maintaining an optimal line of sight; variable frequency micro-motion control enables millimeter-level precision positioning. A lifting capacity range of 1 to 10 tons covers the operational requirements of most general workshops.
