the smartest configuration available

When you need to make the most of every inch of overhead space, a top running crane system is often the smartest configuration available. Compared to under-hung systems, top running cranes typically deliver greater hook height and higher lifting capacities. Giving you more usable room beneath the crane and more lifting power where it counts.

These cranes travel on rail mounted along the top of the runway beam, with the runway itself supported either by the building’s existing structural steel or by freestanding columns when heavier capacities call for additional support. That flexibility means a top running system can be tailored to your facility’s structure, whether you’re working within an existing building or planning new construction from the ground up.

For operations that demand higher capacities, faster cycle times, or long-term reliability under heavy use, CCS engineers top running crane systems built to maximize hook height, capacity, and performance, all while making the most efficient use of your facility’s overhead space.
