Double Girder Crane

The double girder crane is a premium solution for heavy-duty lifting, designed to handle large loads with maximum stability and precision. Equipped with a high-capacity wire rope hoist, it ensures smooth, reliable vertical and horizontal movement. Its robust double-girder structure provides enhanced load distribution, allowing for higher lifting capacities and longer spans compared to single girder cranes. Ideal for steel plants, heavy machinery workshops, and logistics centers, this crane maximizes operational efficiency while minimizing downtime, making it a cost-effective choice for demanding industrial environments.

Main Components

  • Electric Chain Hoist: Core lifting unit that uses an electric motor to drive the lifting chain.

  • Load Chain: High-strength alloy chain used for lifting; offers smooth and controlled movement.

  • Trolley: Carries the hoist and travels horizontally along the girder (available in single/double girder form).

  • Girder: Main supporting beam (profile or box girder) that holds the trolley and hoist.

  • Hooks: Forged steel hooks conforming to industrial safety standards.

  • Control System: Includes pendant control (festoon system) or optional wireless remote control.

  • Travel Motor & Drive: Stepless travel motion ensures smooth and precise horizontal movement.

  • Power Supply System: Drag chain or cable system ensures stable energy transmission to the hoist.
