♦  Overview

Single Girder Gantry Crane, also known as a single-beam overhead gantry crane or electric hoist gantry crane, is a robust and adaptable lifting system designed for efficient material handling in both indoor and outdoor environments.

Characterized by its “gate-shaped” structure, it consists of a single main girder supported by two legs that travel along ground-mounted rails, enabling seamless movement across large workspaces. Widely utilized in ports, warehouses, construction sites, and industrial facilities, this crane maximizes space utilization and operational flexibility while maintaining cost-effectiveness

♦  Key Features

1. Compact and Durable Design
   The single-girder configuration reduces overall weight and height, making it ideal for facilities with limited headroom or outdoor installations. Its modular steel structure ensures high rigidity and stability, even under heavy loads (up to 160 tons) or harsh environmental conditions.
   Variants include “open-frame” (truss-type) and “box-type” girders, with options for L-shaped beams to accommodate large or irregularly shaped cargo.
2. Wide Technical Specifications
   Lifting Capacity：Ranges from 3 to 32 tons for standard models, with specialized designs supporting up to 160 tons.
   Span：Adjustable from 5 to 60 meters, tailored to workspace dimensions and cargo-handling needs.
   Lifting Height：Configurable from 6 to 40 meters, with extended heights for specialized applications like hydropower dam maintenance.
   Power Supply：Operates on 380V/50Hz three-phase AC power, compatible with industrial grids.
3. Advanced Safety and Control Systems
   Equipped with overload protection, anti-collision buffers, emergency braking, and height/position limit switches to ensure operational safety.
   Features a “three-in-one” drive system and variable-frequency speed control for smooth hoisting (5–12 m/min) and trolley travel (20–60 m/min), enhancing precision in load positioning.
   Control options include pendant, wireless remote, and cabin operation for adaptability to diverse workflows.

♦  Applications

Single Girder Gantry Cranes excel in diverse industries:

Ports & Logistics：Efficiently handles containers, bulk materials (e.g., coal, ore), and heavy machinery, with spans optimized for 20–40 ft container stacking.

Manufacturing & Warehousing：Streamlines assembly lines, material transfers, and high-density storage operations.

Energy & Infrastructure：Supports hydropower station gate maintenance, wind turbine component installation, and construction material lifting.

Railway & Heavy Industry：Facilitates loading/unloading of steel beams, precast concrete, and large-scale industrial equipment.

♦  Operational Advantages

Space Efficiency：The compact design minimizes infrastructure costs and allows installation in confined areas, while optional cantilever extensions further expand coverage.

Energy Savings：Lightweight components and high-efficiency motors reduce power consumption by up to 30% compared to double-girder models.

Customization：Adjustable spans, lifting heights, and specialized attachments (e.g., grabs, magnets) cater to unique operational needs.

Low Maintenance：Corrosion-resistant coatings (e.g., galvanized steel) and modular components extend service life and simplify repairs.

♦  Customization & Compliance

Designed to meet international certifications such as ISO, FEM, and DIN, our cranes ensure reliability and safety in global markets. Custom solutions comply with region-specific regulations, including CE marking for European operations.

♦  Conclusion
