Overhead Cranes – New, Used, and Custom Designed
Welcome to Metropolitan Crane. We build
and sell new or used overhead cranes, freestanding crane systems,
runways, new or used jib cranes, and custom overhead crane lifting
applications.
Our new or used overhead cranes are installed
by our fully equipped and factory trained crane installation crews.
Our experts can design, build, and install new overhead bridge cranes
and runways, as well as retrofit, modernize, re-span, and move existing
cranes.
Need service for your new or used overhead bridge cranes? We pride
ourselves with continually providing the finest service for our
valued customers. Nothing less than superior quality parts are used
for all makes and models of overhead cranes, new or used jib cranes,
and hoists. A single service call is often all that is needed to
repair used jib cranes or overhead cranes from our stocked and equipped fleet of service vehicles. Our "one
service call" philosophy reduces our operating costs, which,
in turn, reduces your costs by eliminating lost time for servicing
your monorail runway and other custom overhead crane lifting applications.
Metropolitan Crane is trained to perform
annual OSHA inspections, periodic and frequent inspections as required

Metropolitan Crane Delivers Custom-Built Cranes
As an example, Metropolitan Crane built and installed two
20-Ton capacity
double girder overhead bridge cranes for a major concrete products
manufacturer in Waukesha, Wisconsin. These were the latest in a
number of orders Metropolitan Crane has received from this company.
Both cranes are Class "D" rated with all directions
inverter-operated.
The installed overhead bridge cranes feature radio remote controls and built with capabilities
of being controlled
from a single transmitter for tandem operation. Metropolitan Crane was
chosen because of its long-standing history of quality products
and quick responsive services. |

When Purchasing a Used Overhead Bridge or Jib Crane, Research Thoroughly Prior to Purchasing
Metropolitan Crane sells, services, and inspects many used overhead bridge cranes and used jib cranes and we always welcome
your inquiries. When looking to buy a used overhead bridge crane or used jib crane, we recommend that you carefully research the lifting systems prior to your purchase. Here are a few critical points that we suggest buyers consider and
questions that you should ask prior to buying...
IMPORTANT: Used overhead bridge or jib cranes will have little or no warranty.
- AVAILABILITY OF PARTS FOR USED CRANES
Used overhead bridge, and jib cranes may require replacement parts. Many cranes and hoists
on the market are
obsolete and parts may not be available.
BE SURE TO CHECK: Are parts still available
and for a reasonable price?
- USED CRANE INSTALLATION
It is extremely rare that a used overhead bridge, or jib crane will not require some modification
to operate
in your facility.
- USED BRAND NAME CRANES
Just because a used overhead bridge, or jib crane has a high profile brand name, that does not
mean that you'll receive a problem-free operation.
- COMPARE TOTAL COST OF USED CRANES TO NEW CRANES
If the cost of a used overhead bridge or jib crane is close to 60% of the cost
for buying a new overhead bridge or jib crane, it is probably not a good deal. The freight and
installation costs are the same for new or used overhead bridge or jib cranes.
- BUYING USED CRANES BY AUCTION
When you consider purchasing a used overhead bridge or jib crane from an auction, it
is critical to include
the costs of removal, installation, and modifications, along with the consideration of the above suggestions.
