The reason why  bridge cranes have this name is because they are based on a structure of the same name, which is the main piece of this industrial equipment. The bridge structure is attached to horizontal beams and rails, and through this system the crane is allowed to cross and transport the materials from one end of the warehouse to the other. A bridge crane can cover very long distances, which is why it is suitable for industrial-sized warehouses. Along the bridge, the crane can transport the materials by means of winches or lifting systems. At the same time, the vertical movements of raising and lowering can also be performed. For extended factories dealing with large loads such as ports or construction warehouses a bridge crane is the ideal solution. These cranes are also recommended for situations when transport distances are quite large.
