Looking for 2 Ton Overhead Gantry Cranes?
Whether you run a compact maintenance garage, a busy fabrication workshop, or a dedicated assembly line, our expert engineers will tailor your new crane to fit your exact building dimensions and workflow requirements perfectly.
Why Invest in a 2 Ton Overhead Crane?
A 2 ton capacity system is one of the most cost-effective ways to modernize your facility. By implementing a dedicated overhead lifting solution, you drastically reduce your reliance on floor-level lifting equipment like forklift trucks or mobile engine hoists, freeing up valuable workspace and significantly reducing the risk of workplace accidents.
Ideal Applications Include:
- Automotive & Commercial Garages: Safely lifting heavy engine blocks, transmissions, and commercial vehicle components during repairs.
- Small Fabrication Workshops: Moving steel profiles, sheet metal, and completed weldments between workstations with minimal effort.
- Localised Assembly Stations: Providing individual teams with a dedicated lifting system to position heavy parts without waiting for the main factory crane.
- Warehousing & Dispatch: Swiftly loading and unloading pallets, crates, and equipment from delivery vehicles.
Precision Control and Component Quality
Precision is key when handling light-to-medium loads. For our 2 ton systems, we frequently specify premium Electric Chain Hoists, which are incredibly durable, compact, and highly cost-effective for this weight category.
Coupled with dual-speed lifting and travel options via an ergonomic pendant control, your operators can quickly move loads across the workshop floor and then switch to a “creep” speed to lower delicate components into place with millimetre accuracy.
Space-Saving Single Girder and Underhung Designs
Because 2000kg is a relatively lightweight capacity for an industrial crane, it opens up highly flexible design options. AB Cranes almost exclusively utilizes a Single Girder configuration for this weight class, which keeps the system lightweight, affordable, and easy to maintain.
Depending on your building, we can configure your 2 ton crane as:
- Top-Running Cranes: Supported by your building’s columns or a bespoke freestanding steel structure. This is a robust, traditional setup.
- Underhung (Suspended) Cranes: If your roof trusses are structurally capable, we can suspend the runway beams directly from the ceiling. This entirely eliminates the need for floor-mounted support columns, giving you 100% unobstructed floor space.
