Frequently asked questions
What crane types does Contrx Cranes manufacture?
Contrx Cranes manufactures a wide range of lifting equipment including jib cranes, portable gantry jibs, workstation jibs, wall-mounted jibs, and overhead bridge cranes in both single and double girder configurations. Capacities range from one-ton single girder cranes up to 100-ton double box girder systems.
What's the difference between a jib crane and an overhead bridge crane?
A jib crane is typically a fixed or wall-mounted arm that rotates to cover a defined radius, suited to workstation-level lifting in a focused area. An overhead bridge crane spans the width of a building or bay on rails, covering a much larger floor area for heavier or more frequent lifting needs.
What is the largest crane capacity Contrx Cranes manufactures?
Contrx Cranes manufactures crane systems ranging from one-ton single girder cranes up to 100-ton double box girder cranes, covering light workstation lifting through heavy industrial material handling. Specifying your required load capacity and span helps match you to the right crane configuration.
Is Contrx Cranes still an independent manufacturer?
Contrx Cranes joined Lift Solutions Holdings in 2021, becoming part of a nationwide industrial lifting solutions company that also offers crane inspections, repairs, and replacement parts. Contrx continues to manufacture its crane systems from its original Neenah, Wisconsin facility.
Can Contrx Cranes provide portable or freestanding crane options?
Yes, Contrx Cranes manufactures portable gantry jibs and freestanding bridge cranes in addition to its permanently mounted systems, giving facilities flexibility for applications where a fixed crane installation isn't practical. These portable options are often used in maintenance bays or multi-purpose work areas.
