The rails, beams and columns on which the crane operates. The rail, on which the end trucks run, is fastened to the runway beam.
This beam is then supported on columns (Top Running) or from the roof structure (Under Running). The existing building columns can be used or new ones can be supplied with the system. New columns can either be completely Free Standing or Tied Back to the existing building structure for additional lateral support. When designing a runway system that is to use existing building columns, it is important to provide the down shop center to center spacing between them. Conductors supply power to the crane and are mounted on the runway beam.
