Description
The DALE Overhead Travelling Crane and Runway System range represents the very best in British-designed lifting engineering.
Manufactured by DALE Lifting & Handling Specialists, these systems combine precision fabrication with proven component technology to deliver dependable performance in even the most demanding industrial environments.
From concept to commissioning, DALE offers a complete service including CAD design, site assessment, fabrication, installation, and proof load testing.
Every system is custom-engineered to the customer’s specification, ensuring optimum coverage, efficiency, and safety.
Our range includes:
Monorail Girder Runway Systems
Ideal for continuous production or assembly environments, DALE monorail systems use a single beam track with manual, electric, or pneumatic hoist travel.
These systems can be straight, looped, or curved, and are designed for efficient load movement between fixed workstations.
Available with cantilevered or goalpost support frames, or roof-suspended designs, they offer maximum workspace efficiency and minimal obstruction.
Single Girder Overhead Cranes
A cost-effective and highly adaptable lifting solution, the DALE single girder overhead crane is ideal for indoor or outdoor use.
Configured for electric or air chain hoists, single girders provide excellent hook coverage and accurate load positioning, ideal for workshops and production bays.
Double Girder Overhead Cranes
For heavier loads or maximum lifting height, DALE double girder cranes offer superior hook approach and span capacity.
Equipped with wire rope hoists, these systems are suited for large-scale manufacturing, heavy fabrication, and high-roof facilities.
Each system is designed to maximise lifting height and minimise wheel load, with options for four or eight long-travel wheels.
Underslung Girder Cranes
Also known as under-hung or suspension cranes, DALE underslung systems are perfect where floor space must remain unobstructed.
Mounted from the roof or ceiling beams, they are ideal for facilities requiring flexible production flow and forklift access.
Standard underslung end carriages handle up to 7 tonnes, with bespoke options available for larger spans.
Crane Controls & Power Feed Systems
DALE cranes can be operated by pendant control, mobile push-button, or wireless radio remote.
Each system is designed for smooth drive and hoisting motions, with power feeds available in flat cable, C-rail, or enclosed conductor bar configurations.
All systems are tailored to site conditions, ensuring safe and reliable performance.
Hoist & Crane Kit Options
DALE supplies cranes complete or in kit form for self-build and export projects.
Choose from manual, electric, or pneumatic hoists, as well as full drive units, crane bridges, and runway components.
We work with leading hoist brands, offering flexibility to match your specification.
All DALE crane installations are proof load tested, CE marked, and supplied with a Declaration of Conformity.
