Everything You Want to Know about Single Girder Crane

What is Single Girder Crane&EOT Crane?

Single girder crane is a kind of common lifting equipment to move goods, loads or some heavy objects. Single girder overhead crane usually carries a relatively small weight of materials, generally 1 ton to 30 ton. Single girder bridge crane consists of one girder beam supported on each side by an end truck the trolley and hoist are most commonly under-hung, that means they run on the bottom flange of the bridge. The single girder bridge crane from Yuantai is designed and manufactured following advanced FEM/DIN standard.

The most popular solution for an overhead crane is the single girder crane system because it is more compact, useing less material and more cost-effective. Besides, it's obvious that one girder design has less deadweight. Single girder cranes are the perfect solution for your work that needs a light or medium duty crane, or a place where headroom is limited. Girders can be made of rolled steel or can be fabricated by welding the beams into a steel box design for added strength and rigidity.

Two Types of Single Girder Structures

An overhead crane is a complex piece of equipment, and there are mainly two different types of crane structures to choose from. The complexity of the overhead crane components required to operate the crane, the engineering required to design the crane, and the application (industry or materials being lifted) will determine what type of crane you will need. For example, an 80 foot, 20-ton double girder bridge crane will cost significantly more than a 40 foot, 10-ton double girder bridge crane

Advantages of a Single Girder Design:

1. Less expensive due to a simpler trolley design, reduced freight costs, simplified and faster installation, and less material for the bridge and runway beams
2. Most economical option for light to medium-duty cranes
3. Lower loads on the building structure or foundations due to a reduced deadweight. In many cases, it can be supported by existing roof structure without the use of additional support columns.
4. Better hook approach for both trolley travel and bridge travel
5. Easier to install, operate and maintain
6. Ideal for workshops, warehouses, material yards, and manufacturing and production facilities
7. Lighter load on runway rails or beams means less wear on the beams and end truck wheels over time
8. Great for facilities with low headroom

Limitation of single girder overhead crane: single gider design does have a limit in terms of capacity, span, and hook height. A double girder crane may be the better solution for overhead cranes that require capacities over 15 tons and spans over 65 feet.
