A crane is lifting machinery, discontinuous movement aimed at raising and distributing loads in space, suspended from a hook. Cranes available in the market are grinder travelling crane, overhead travelling crane, jib cranes, wire rope hoist, and gantry cranes. The Gantry cranes are one of the most important mechanical components in the heavy weight lifting and loading in to cargos, into trains, in to heavy truck vehicles, etc. Different types of gantry cranes available in the industries are container cranes, workstation gantry cranes or light weight mobile gantry cranes and semi gantry cranes. These vase verity of gantry cranes are differed based on the tonnages and area to be covered for lifting and moving the weight.The main aim of this paper is to study various components of electric overhead crane& crane components. Planned and unplanned requirements may necessitate changes in component of overhead crane. In such condition we have to modify the existing crane to suit the required parameters. We will study effect of modifying for various components like rack and pinion system in beam instead of hoist system for motion of machinery.
