Manufactured by Munck.
Built for North American Industry.
Munck Cranes is a trusted overhead crane manufacturer in North America, delivering fully engineered lifting systems designed for performance, durability, and long-term reliability. From standard bridge cranes to complex custom-engineered systems, every solution is built to match your facility, your process, and your production demands.
We design, manufacture, supply, and install overhead crane systems across North America, supporting industries that depend on safe, efficient material handling every day.
Whether you need a single crane or a fully integrated system, Munck delivers a solution that works from day one and continues performing for years to come.
Engineered Overhead
Crane Systems
Every Munck crane is designed as part of a complete system, not just a piece of equipment. That includes structural components, runway systems, electrification, controls, and hoisting technology, all working together to ensure smooth operation and long-term reliability.
Our engineering team designs each system based on:
- Capacity and load spectrum
- Duty cycle and production demands
- Building constraints and available headroom
- Operating environment (indoor, outdoor, corrosive, hazardous)
- Safety and compliance requirements
The result is a crane system built specifically for your application, not a one-size-fits-all solution.
Single Girder and Double Girder Cranes
Munck manufactures a full range of overhead bridge cranes, available in multiple configurations to meet varying capacities, spans, and facility layouts.
Top Running Single Girder
Designed for lighter-duty applications, this configuration runs on rails mounted on top of runway beams. It offers an economical solution while maximizing floor space and maintaining reliable performance.
Top Running Double Girder
Built for higher capacities and longer spans, double girder cranes provide increased hook height and the ability to support auxiliary hoists. Ideal for heavy manufacturing and demanding production environments.
Under Running Single Girder
Suspended from the building structure, this option is ideal for facilities with limited floor support or tight layouts. Common in assembly and maintenance applications.
Under Running Double Girder
Combines the flexibility of an underhung system with increased lifting capacity and span. Well suited for production environments requiring both strength and layout adaptability.
