End Trucks

Downtime, misalignment, and premature wear can cripple an overhead crane system. The solution lies in the end trucks, the critical components that guide and support the bridge as it travels along the runway. At ACE World Companies, we engineer and manufacture overhead crane end trucks built for safety, performance, and longevity. From standard capacities to large-scale custom end trucks, our products are designed in the USA and tailored to meet the exact needs of your operation. Whether you operate a steel mill, shipyard, or manufacturing plant, our crane end trucks are engineered to keep your overhead crane system moving reliably.

Custom End Trucks for Specialized Applications

When your operation requires more than standard solutions, ACE delivers. We design and manufacture custom end trucks with capacities exceeding 1,000 tons—the largest in the industry.

Custom design features include:

• Highest maximum wheel loads in the industry
• Engineered and sized specifically for overhead crane travel applications
• High-strength ASTM A500 Grade B structural tubing
• Precision line-bored axle bores for perfect wheel alignment
• Rail sweeps and bumpers included as standard
• Sealed lifetime-lubricated wheel bearings exceeding CMAA Class “C” requirements
• Through-hardened, machined wheels — Fixed Axle (260 BHN UR) / (320 BHN TR), (400 BHN) Rotating axle
• Motor and gearbox configurations designed for reliability and easy maintenance
• Ace Drive is a highly efficient helical shaft-mounted reducer with torque arm mount and brake-motor
• 460/3/60 VAC or 230/460/3/60 VAC controls standard; other options available

This capability makes ACE a trusted end truck manufacturer for heavy-duty sectors like steel mills, mining, and power generation, where off-the-shelf components fall short.

Unlike many manufacturers that stick to a one-size-fits-all approach, ACE thrives on creating end trucks for overhead cranes that push the boundaries of performance.

End Truck Configurations to Match Every Crane System

Your crane’s performance depends on the right configuration. ACE offers multiple bridge crane end trucks designed to optimize different environments:

• Top Running Double Girder End Trucks – High-capacity cranes with long spans benefit from maximum stability, load distribution, and headroom.
• Top Running Single Girder End Trucks – Ideal for lighter-duty applications and shorter spans, offering cost-effective value and easy maintenance.
• Underhung (Under Running) End Trucks – Perfect for facilities with limited headroom, such as workshops and warehouses.
• Bogie End Trucks – Multi-wheel configurations for demanding applications requiring exceptional load-bearing capacity and reduced rail wear.

No matter the size, span, or environment, ACE has the right crane end trucks to keep your operations running efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an end truck on an overhead crane?

An end truck is the assembly of a frame, wheels, bearings, and axles located at each end of a crane bridge. It supports the bridge girders and lets the crane travel along the runway rail. ACE World Companies manufactures standard end trucks (3–50 tons) and custom end trucks exceeding 1,000 tons.

What are the different types of crane end trucks?

The main types are top running single-girder, top running double-girder, underhung (under running), and bogie end trucks. Each is engineered for a different combination of load capacity, span, and headroom. ACE World Companies designs and manufactures all four configurations in-house.

What is the difference between top running and underhung end trucks?

Top running end trucks ride on top of the runway rail, while underhung (under running) end trucks hang below the runway beam’s bottom flange. Underhung designs suit low-headroom facilities like workshops, while top running designs typically support heavier capacities and longer spans.

How much weight can an end truck support?

Capacity depends on the configuration and design. ACE World Companies’ standard end trucks handle 3 to 50 tons for everyday applications, while custom-engineered end trucks can exceed 1,000 tons for heavy-duty industrial, mining, and steel mill operations.

What is a bogie end truck used for?

A bogie end truck uses a multi-wheel configuration instead of a single axle, spreading the load across more wheels. This reduces rail wear and increases load-bearing capacity, making it ideal for heavy-duty cranes and facilities with demanding duty cycles.
