Electric crane that travels on a curved rail mounted atop a circular structure — storage tank, clarifier, digester or silo — giving 360° coverage of the vessel below from a fixed centre point, without a straight-line runway.

A circular crane — also called a circular EOT or radial travelling crane — runs on a curved rail fixed to the top of a cylindrical structure, such as a storage tank, clarifier, digester, silo or circular pump house, instead of the straight runway beams used by a conventional EOT crane. A single crane can then cover the entire circumference of the vessel from a fixed centre point, which is exactly what petrochemical, water-treatment and process plants need for tank maintenance, desludging and periodic inspection.
Because the girder itself is curved to match the track radius, every ETC circular crane is engineered around your specific structure — ring-beam diameter, rail gauge, wheel base and duty cycle are calculated from your GA drawing before a single plate is cut. Girders are stress-relieved after curving to remove residual fabrication stresses, and all electricals are rated for outdoor tank-farm exposure.
Share the ring-beam drawing and rail diameter — our design team returns wheel loads, radial thrust calculations and a GA drawing with the quotation.
Electronic load cell cuts hoisting the moment load exceeds rated SWL.
Arc-position limits stop bridge travel before rail overrun on the circular track.
Audible alarm and flasher warn floor staff during radial and hoist motion.
Electromagnetic brakes engage automatically on power failure — load holds instantly.
IP-65 push-button pendant with optional wireless remote and emergency stop.
SPP, overload relays and single-phase preventers protect motors and VFDs in tank-farm conditions.

We build single girder circular cranes from 1 to 20 Ton, with the girder curved to match your specific track diameter. Every unit is designed to IS:3177 / IS:4137 and FEM 1.001 duty classifications.
Yes. Structural steel gets a corrosion-resistant epoxy + PU finish and electricals are IP-rated for outdoor petrochemical and ETP exposure, with weather covers available as an option.
The bridge is anchored at a central pivot and the outer end carriage runs on a circular rail fixed to the building wall, so the crane slews continuously through 360° and the hook reaches every point inside the structure.
We need the internal diameter, the rail-level elevation and the wall or ring-beam construction. From that we return the rail loading, pivot reaction and anchor details for your civil consultant to design against.
They are built for circular structures — clarifier and digester tanks in water treatment plants, silos, blending domes, cement stores and circular machine halls where a straight runway simply cannot be installed.
A curved DSL busbar follows the circular rail, or a festoon system with a slip-ring column at the pivot. Both allow unlimited rotation in either direction without cable twisting.
Single girder circular cranes are built from 1 to 20 Ton on track diameters of 6 to 40 metres. Heavier duty or larger diameters move to our double girder circular range.
