Single Girder Overhead Crane

A single girder overhead crane is an efficient and versatile lifting solution, perfect for handling small to medium loads in tight spaces. Whether you need a crane for your factory, workshop, or warehouse, this crane design offers superior space optimization and smooth operation. The single girder configuration provides a cost-effective and reliable solution for tasks that require high precision and minimal headroom, making it ideal for a wide range of industries. At Yonghao Crane Co., Ltd., we offer single girder cranes designed for durability, flexibility, and ease of use, ensuring your lifting operations run smoothly and safely.

Main Components

  • Lifting Rope: Typically equipped with standard synthetic rope, with the option to upgrade to high-strength steel wire rope for more demanding lifting tasks.

  • Trolley: This component transports the hoist horizontally along the crane’s main girder, available in single or double girder configurations to suit different applications.

  • Main Girder: The main structural beam that supports both the hoist and the trolley. It can be designed in either profile girder or box girder styles for varying span requirements.

  • End Carriages: These are mounted at the ends of the crane legs and house the wheels that allow the crane to move along rails or across the ground.

  • Hooks: Manufactured in compliance with DIN 15401 standards, ensuring secure and reliable lifting operations.

  • Control System: The crane can be operated using pendant control, wireless remote control, or equipped with integrated smart features for advanced control.

  • Electrical System: Includes the motors, wiring, and optional smart features, such as hook centering and obstacle detection, that enhance the crane’s functionality and safety.
