OVERHEAD LIFTING SOLUTIONS
THE RIGHT CRANE STARTS WITH THE APPLICATION
No two facilities move material exactly the same way. Capacity, span, lift height, duty cycle, building structure, production flow and safety requirements all influence the right crane system.
HSI works with customers to identify the equipment and configuration that fits the application, from straightforward hoist installations to complete engineered overhead crane systems.

ENGINEERED FOR THE APPLICATION
THE RIGHT CRANE IS MORE THAN A CAPACITY NUMBER
Selecting the right overhead crane requires more than knowing how much weight needs to be lifted. The entire application influences the equipment, structure, controls and configuration.
HSI evaluates how the crane will actually be used so the finished system supports safe operation, efficient material movement and long-term reliability.
DISCUSS YOUR APPLICATION →01
Capacity
The weight of the load and required safety factors determine the crane’s rated capacity.
02
SPAN & COVERAGE
The area that must be served influences runway length, bridge span and overall system layout.
03
LIFT HEIGHT
Available building height and required hook travel determine how the hoist and bridge should be configured.
04
DUTY CYCLE
How often and how intensely the crane operates affects equipment class, components and expected service life.
05
FACILITY STRUCTURE
Existing building steel, floor conditions and available support determine how the crane system can be installed.
06
CONTROLS & OPERATION
Pendant, radio and automated controls can be selected around operator needs, workflow and safety requirements.
07
SAFETY & ENVIRONMENT
Environmental conditions, surrounding equipment and personnel access all influence system design and safeguards.
08
FUTURE REQUIREMENTS
Planning for future capacity, production changes or facility expansion can help prevent premature system limitations.
INSTALLATION & LIFECYCLE SERVICE
SUPPORT THAT CONTINUES AFTER INSTALLATION
A crane system is a long-term investment, and its performance depends on what happens after installation. HSI supports overhead lifting equipment throughout its service life with inspection, maintenance, repair, testing and modernization services.
That continuity means the same team that understands your application can help keep the equipment safe, reliable and productive as your operation changes.

WHEN EXISTING EQUIPMENT NEEDS ATTENTION
REPAIR, MODERNIZE, OR REPLACE? START WITH THE EQUIPMENT AND THE JOB.
An aging crane does not automatically need to be replaced. The right path depends on structural condition, mechanical and electrical wear, controls, parts support, capacity, duty cycle, and whether the system still fits the work your facility needs it to perform.
01
REPAIR WHAT STILL FITS THE APPLICATION
When the structure, capacity, geometry, and overall system remain suitable, targeted mechanical or electrical repairs may be the most practical way to restore dependable operation.
02
MODERNIZE A SOUND SYSTEM
If the primary structure is still serviceable but controls, hoists, electrification, drives, or components are outdated, modernization can extend useful life and improve how the crane operates.
03
REPLACE WHEN THE JOB HAS OUTGROWN THE CRANE
A new system may make more sense when capacity, coverage, lift height, duty, structural condition, parts availability, or changing production requirements make the existing equipment a poor long-term fit.
