Under Hung / Under Running Overhead Cranes are typically used for lighter capacity systems than "Top Running" designs. In this design the bridge is connected to endtrucks which have pairs of wheels on the top edge of the endtruck. These sets of wheel then run along the bottom flange of runway beam.
Alternatively in under running workstation cranes the wheels on endtrucks are contained inside of an enclosed track as with KYEC KBK crane Systems. Under running overhead cranes typically are limited in capacity by two factors, the strength of the flange of the beam and the structure from which they are hung. Under running or under hung overhead crane systems are popular because they can be suspended from the ceiling or roof of a build saving floor space that would be consumed by runway columns in a top running design.
