End Carriage

An end carriage is a wheeled assembly that is engineered to move smoothly and support loads travelling on runway rail and girder systems. This type of crane component is critical for load distribution and reliable movement in an industrial, warehousing or manufacturing application where reliable crane performance and location are vital to key operational efficiency and longevity of equipment. The primary applications for end carriages are as a bridge supporting component of an overhead travelling crane system, as a load-distributing component of a gantry crane assembly and to allow for smooth travel on a rail in material handling operations. Movements where structural integrity and operational accuracy are paramount will often be in operations with significant movement and high material loads. End carriages are manufactured with a robust steel frame and precision-machined wheel and bearing assemblies, which are essential for smooth travel motion and predictable continuous performance. End carriages and their wheel assemblies have been engineered with advanced mechanical concepts to produce even load distribution with the least amount of rail wear, with acceptable lateral alignment, including stability through precision wheel forms and factory-pre-set variation allowances for rails but applicable for other rail types. Further, a standard end carriage will provide mounting options that suit most narrow and wide crane designs and rail span specifications; they have a configurable wheel arrangement and will allow for multiple drive systems for a given crane capacity or load.
