Top-running cranes travel along the top of runway beams, delivering robust lifting capacity for heavy industrial work. This configuration provides maximum vertical clearance below the crane. It supports higher load capacities than underhung systems, making it the preferred choice for facilities handling heavy materials across large work areas.
At T&M Cranes, we design and manufacture custom single and double-girder top-running cranes for reliable performance and precision. Every system is built to your facility’s exact specifications while meeting safety and operational standards.

Top Running Single Girder Cranes
Top Running Single Girder (TRSG) cranes deliver a proven, economical solution for medium-duty lifting operations with capacities up to 15 tons. These systems feature structural spans up to 65 ft. and monobox configurations extending beyond 120 ft. for general industrial work. Rated from CMAA Class A through D, our single-girder cranes balance cost-efficiency with dependable performance.
- Applications
Single girder top running cranes work well in:
Metal fabrication shops and steel service centers
Warehousing and distribution operations
Food and beverage processing facilities
Paper mills and light manufacturing plants
- Advantages
Our TRSG deliver several key benefits, including:
Lower installation costs.
A simpler design uses fewer structural components, which reduces upfront investment and shortens project timelines.Easier maintenance.
The streamlined construction means faster inspections and repairs with better access to components.Material handling flexibility.
These cranes handle bar, plate, and sheet material with precision across diverse production environments.
Top Running Double Girder Cranes
Top Running Double Girder (TRDG) cranes deliver heavy-duty lifting performance with capacities from 0 to over 100 tons. With dual-bridge girders, these systems support structural spans up to 65 ft. and fabricated box-girder spans exceeding 110 ft. Built to CMAA Class A through F specifications, our double-girder cranes handle the most demanding industrial environments requiring maximum load stability and extended reach.
Applications
TRDG cranes excel in:
Steel mills and foundries
Automotive and aircraft manufacturing facilities
Heavy manufacturing and assembly operations
Transloading operations and waste handling facilities
These cranes handle specialized lifting tasks, including billet and coil handling, slab lifting, magnet lifting systems, and C-hook lifting devices.
Advantages
Key benefits of our TRDG cranes include:
Maximum lifting capacity.
Dual-girder design supports heavier loads with superior stability for demanding production cycles.
Extended span capability.
Covers larger work areas without compromising structural integrity, ideal for expansive manufacturing floors.
Superior load control.
Provides smoother travel and balanced weight distribution for oversized or irregularly shaped materials.
Custom configurations.
Fully engineered to meet your specific capacity, span, duty cycle, and operational requirements.
