While a picture is worth 1000 words, your 21 words don't paint much of a picture.
 
Most commonly, workshops with cranes will have a series of portal frames across the width of the workshop, then cross bracing in the other direction (parallel to crane travel).

The reason being that cross bracing is typically the cheaper option, but cannot be used in both directions without overly impacting operations (because they interrupt the open spaces). In some workshops, having portal frames in both directions is beneficial for that reason, they don't interrupt the space.
