An overhead crane is commonly used in factories and dockyards. An overhead crane operation is manually accomplished by skilled operators. Usually, the skill of the operators is relied on to bring the load to its destination exactly and have it stationary at the end of the journey. Recently, the concept of automation is widely introduced in shipping and unloading operation using the overhead crane for the enhanced producity. In this paper, we reduced overhead cranes scale and objection for experimental purpose in lab. The controller for an overhead crane was designed using LQ-servo technicques and simulated by MATLAB. The performance of the controller was verified through the experiment results and the simulation walls by MATLAB.
