Single Girder Crane: Economical Lifting for Light-to-Medium Loads

As a type of overhead crane, the single girder crane features a bridge structure with one main beam and two end beams. Its advantages include a simple design, light self-weight, and low cost, making it suitable for environments with smaller lifting capacities and shorter spans, such as small factories and workshops, where it delivers cost-effective lifting solutions for moderate workloads.

Advantages

Fast Installation & Easy Maintenance

Requires fewer components for assembly, cutting installation time by 50% in typical setups. Open-structured design allows quick access to motors/gears for routine inspections, minimizing downtime.

Lightweight & Low Headroom Design

Reduces building load requirements, suitable for facilities with low ceilings or older structures. Enables effective use of vertical space in retrofitted warehouses or small-scale production lines.

Smooth Travel & Low Noise Operation

Uses precision-engineered wheels and bearings for quiet, jerk-free movement on rails. Complies with noise regulations in urban workshops or indoor environments.

Cost savings and space efficiency are key in simpler industrials environments. Accordingly, an overhead crane with a single girder is frequently implemented. To explain, this crane possesses a single beam or girder and an horizontal spanning beam which runs along its workspace. The beam is supported by end trucks which run on runway beams that are fixed to the structure of the building. The single girder structure enables minimal space and headroom requirements which allows for easy installation in facilities with low vertical clearance. It is commonly used in workshops, small factories and, warehouses. It has a lifting capacity of one to ten tons which allows the crane to carry raw materials, finished goods and, even equipment. Hence, the overhead crane single girder is considered an efficient material handling solution.

Frequently Asked Questions

In what types of facilities are single girder cranes commonly used?

Single girder cranes are commonly used in small - scale factories, workshops, and maintenance areas. Their simple structure, light weight, and low cost make them ideal for these environments where the lifting requirements are not extremely heavy. They are suitable for tasks such as lifting small components, moving light - to - medium - sized equipment, and handling materials within a limited workspace, providing an efficient and cost - effective material - handling solution.
Single girder cranes offer several advantages. Their simple design results in lower manufacturing costs, making them more affordable. They are also lighter in weight, which reduces the structural requirements of the building where they are installed. Installation is relatively easy, and maintenance is straightforward due to the fewer components. Despite their simplicity, they can still handle a wide range of light - to - medium - duty lifting tasks, making them a practical choice for many small - to - medium - sized industrial operations.
Yes, single girder cranes can be integrated with other equipment. They can be combined with electric hoists, jib cranes, or conveyor systems to create a more comprehensive material - handling solution. For example, integrating an electric hoist with a single girder crane allows for efficient lifting and movement of materials. This integration can enhance the functionality of the crane and improve the overall productivity of the industrial process by streamlining material - handling operations.
When using single girder cranes, several safety measures should be taken. Regularly inspect the crane for any signs of wear, damage, or loose components. Ensure that the hoisting mechanism, brakes, and limit switches are in proper working condition. Operators should be trained and certified to operate the crane safely, following all manufacturer's instructions and safety guidelines. Additionally, never exceed the rated load capacity of the crane, and keep the surrounding area clear of people and obstacles during operation to prevent accidents.
