End Trucks

At Ace World Companies, we’ve engineered and manufactured overhead cranes and lifting equipment for decades. We understand that the backbone of any efficient crane system lies in its end trucks – the components that guide and support the bridge as it travels along the runway. 

Whether you operate a small workshop or a massive industrial facility, the right end trucks are crucial for safety, performance, and longevity. That’s why we offer a comprehensive range of standard and custom end truck solutions designed to meet the unique demands of your specific application.

Custom End Trucks and Standard Offerings

We offer standard end trucks with 3-50 ton capacities in various designs. These cost-effective solutions are ideal for typical crane applications and come equipped with many standard features to ensure smooth and reliable operation. However, we understand that not all projects fit a standard mold. That’s where our custom end truck expertise comes in. We can create end trucks for virtually any application, with capacities exceeding 1,000 tons. Our in-house capabilities allow us to build some of the largest end trucks in the industry, and we thrive on the challenge of creating unique solutions tailored to your exact specifications.

End Truck Configurations To Suit Your Crane System

The correct bridge crane end trucks depend on your operation. Ace World Companies offers end trucks in various configurations to suit your specific crane setup and operational needs:

  • Top Running Double Girder: Ideal for high-capacity cranes and those with longer spans, top-running double girder end trucks offer exceptional stability and load distribution. They ride on top of the crane runway beams, maximizing headroom and providing easy access for maintenance.
  • Top Running Single Girder: Similar to the double girder design, top-running single girder end trucks are suitable for lighter-duty applications with shorter spans. They offer excellent value and are known for their straightforward installation and maintenance.
  • Underhung (Under Running): Underhung end trucks are mounted beneath the crane bridge, making them an excellent choice for facilities with limited headroom. They’re often used in workshops, warehouses, and other spaces where overhead clearance is a concern.
  • Bogie: When your crane requires exceptional load-bearing capacity or operates in demanding environments, bogie end trucks are the answer. Their multi-wheel design distributes the load evenly, reducing wear and tear on both the wheels and runway rails.

No matter what type of crane you operate or the specific challenges of your application, we have the end truck configuration to meet your needs. Our team can help you select the right end truck to maximize your crane’s performance and lifespan.
