An EOT crane, or electric overhead travelling crane, is a type of crane used for lifting heavy objects that operates along rails on the floor and ceiling of a facility. It consists of a bridge that can move horizontally along rails above the floor, with a hoisting mechanism and hook attached to move vertically. EOT cranes work by using electric motors and gear systems to power horizontal and vertical movement. They have advantages like easy maintenance and repair, simple construction, and moderate costs. Common applications of EOT cranes include use in workshops, shipyards, mining facilities, construction sites, and industrial plants.
