How to choose the right crane
There are numerous factors to consider when choosing an overhead crane system.
1. Lifting capacity
You should consider the weight of materials or goods when choosing a crane system. Assessing the tasks the crane will perform will ensure you choose the right crane to fulfil your lifting requirements.
2. Span & Height
Ensure the crane’s height is suitable for your building and lifting requirements. Alongside the height, you will need to consider how far it will move to determine the span of the system.
3. Speed
Each overhead crane system offers different speeds. Determining how quickly the crane must execute the task will help establish the best system for your operations or business type.
4. Location
Consider whether the crane’s location will be indoors or outdoors. If the crane will be in an open or confined space, or if you require a system that is compactable and mobile.
5. Control type
The controls are dependent on the type of crane and the features you have chosen for that system.

Glass Production Facility – Case Study
Metreel worked with a leading UK glass producer to support their facility expansion by supplying two 500kg Met-Track® bridge cranes with electric chain hoists. Installed above heat treatment equipment to keep floors clear, the system improved material handling, reduced worker fatigue, and created a safer, more efficient workspace—boosting productivity and supporting ongoing growth.
