      • OVERHEAD & GANTRY CRANES

            • SINGLE GIRDER OVERHEAD CRANES

            • ADAPTED TO CURRENT USES

              The ADC single girder overhead travelling cranes are adapted for a wide range of daily usage in plants and workshops to ease material flow.

              These overhead travelling cranes are built for your lifting needs up to 12.5t and up to 30 meters span, and can be installed in new or existing buildings.

              Our single girder overhead travelling cranes are built either with rolled section or welded box sections depending on load and span. Girders are made on automatic welding bench in our plant.

              LOW HEADROOM

              The highly important connection between girder and end-carriage deserves a special attention to avoid long term wear and is accurately prepared on assembly bench.

              Our single girder overhead traveling cranes are equipped with low headroom wire rope hoist and enable a maximum lifting height. The ADC wire rope hoists, also designed and manufactured in Parthenay, this makes ADC the only French manufacturer of complete overhead travelling cranes.

              ADC also has a Steel structure department, which calculates and provides steel work and runways beam; this dual experience reinforces greatly the role of guidance and expert of our Company.

              Our overhead travelling cranes are designed and made according to your instructions and our quality procedures in accordance with ISO 9001 and the Rules of the European Federation of Materials Handling (FEM). The box girder of our cranes are certified QUALIBAT.

            • UNDERSLUNG CRANES

            • FITTING TO YOUR BUILDING

              For complex buildings with limited space or low headroom, ADC offers a range of standard underslung crane. It runs on the runway beam directly mounted under the ceiling which is adaptable to buildings with underslung runway beams.

              The underslung cranes ADC maximize the available space in buildings by reducing the clearance between hook and walls. This type of crane can be designed to allow combinations with other cranes in nearby halls so as to transfer hoists and loads between cranes and workshops.

              Our range of standard underslung cranes allows to obtain a maximum lifting height under hook (with our range of low headroom wire rope hoist). The range extends up to 10 tons of lifting capacity and up to 18 meters span.

              A FLEXIBLE RANGE

              The range is adapted for chain hoist for small loads up to 3.2 tons and for rope hoist for higher lifting capacity.

              ADC underslung cranes are built with standardized parts, this allows you to make the maintenance of your equipment at an economical price.

              Our girders are built either with rolled section or welded box sections depending on load and span. Girders are made on automatic welding bench in our plant.

              They are equipped with ADC wire rope hoists, also designed and manufactured in Parthenay, this makes ADC the only French manufacturer of complete overhead travelling cranes.

                                Steel Construction was the origin of the ATELIERS DE LA CHAINETTE, created in 1919 and which is now called ADC.

                                Since then, we have remained faithful to structural steel buildings. This gives us a recognised know-how.

                                We build structures across France of up to 65 metres span with no intermediate columns.

                                ADC STEELWORKS DEPARTMENT, IT'S:

                                • A sales team
                                • A quotes department
                                • A design office (Draftsmen and engineers)
                                • A manufacturing workshop
                                • An external work department

                                In addition to this activity, we also produce insulated and non-insulated roofing and sidings in lacquered steel sheets or single or dual-skin sandwich panels.

                                Because of weights and volumes, such activity is limited to French territory.
