the backbone of any overhead lifting system

A runway is the structural pathway a crane or hoist travels along, supporting the rail that carries the bridge, trolley, and load down the length of the system. It’s the backbone of any overhead lifting system, and getting the design right is critical to safe, reliable, long-term performance.

CCS offers runway systems in a range of configurations to match your facility’s structure and application requirements, including free-standing, tied-back, and ceiling-mounted designs. Free-standing runways are fully self-supporting, making them ideal when you need a system independent of existing building structure. Tied-back runways anchor into your building’s steel for added stability while reducing the overall footprint of support columns. Ceiling-mounted runways suspend directly from overhead structure, keeping your floor space completely clear.

Every runway system we build is based on PE (Professional Engineer) design, and we offer PE-stamped engineering upon request to meet your facility’s code and documentation requirements. Whatever your facility’s layout, load requirements, or structural constraints, CCS engineers a runway solution built to perform.
