End Carriages from BCP
BCP Cranes is a leading supplier of End Carriages to the gantry crane market throughout the UK and Ireland. We specialise in single and double girder overhead travelling cranes, with up to four travel wheels. Also known as bogies and end carts our End Carriages are market leaders and are sold throughout 60 countries worldwide.

We stock Balkancar Podem inverter ready crane end carriages. They are also available in both single and 2 speed operations at the same price. Inverter driven cranes are becoming increasingly popular in recent times as they result in far less breakdowns and maintenance issues, and give a far more controllable traveling load with reduced load hook swing or sway.

Our BCP end carriages are top running carriages most suited to a 40mm or 50mm square bar, or crane rail. They are also available as underslung crane carriages in push or powered travel but underslung end truck are far less common.

Our Range
We aim to exceed your expectations when it comes to our crane end carriages by designing the very best for when it comes to performance and hard as nails strength. They operate smoothly as they start with matching drive capability. The BCP smooth running attributes are because of the high self-damping on the travel wheels we supply you.

BCP has a wide range end trucks for overhead cranes or crabs, not forgetting that all our end carriages are easy to adjust and maintain.

Our Double Girder (Bogie type) carriages are very popular as are able to operate in confined spaces and our Underslung End-Carriages offer width spans up to sixteen metres and safe load capacities of as much as ten tons.

Operating Range
BCP End Carriages are can be supplied as standard (typically 30m/minute inverter ready) or dual speed operations and have the ability to work at maximum capacity in temperatures going from twenty to forty °C. We hold a large stock of crane long travel panels with 48 volt controls ready to go out with the carriages. Other voltages such as 24 volt and 110 volt are also manufactured. Alternatively UK crane builders can make their own crane control panels.
