10 Ton Single Girder Gantry Crane for Lifting Work
Introduction
Single Girder Gantry Cranes are one of the most cost-effective solutions for overhead material handling. Designed with a single gantry beam, these cranes are classified as light-duty single girder gantry cranes, offering a simple yet efficient structure. Their lightweight design makes them easy to manufacture, transport, and install, while still providing reliable performance for a wide range of lifting tasks.
With various gantry girder designs and configurations available, single girder gantry cranes can be tailored to meet specific operational requirements. They are ideal for applications that require moderate lifting capacity and flexibility, such as workshops, warehouses, and light industrial environments.
These cranes provide a practical solution for moving and positioning materials, organizing inventory, and handling heavy components in confined or limited spaces. By incorporating a single girder gantry crane into production workflows, businesses can improve operational efficiency, minimize downtime, and maintain a smooth and continuous production process. Their simplicity, combined with versatility and reliability, makes them a preferred choice for companies seeking an economical and effective lifting solution.
Features
♦Main Structure Components: A single girder gantry crane consists of the main beam, support legs, ground beam, and crane traveling mechanism. These components work together to ensure stable operation, smooth load handling, and reliable performance in various lifting applications.
♦Main Beam and Support Leg Types: There are two main structural types for beams and legs: box type and truss type. Box type structures are technically straightforward and easy to fabricate, making them ideal for standard lifting tasks. Truss type structures are lighter in weight and offer excellent wind resistance, suitable for outdoor operations or longer spans. Both types contribute to the crane’s low overall dead weight and structural simplicity.
♦Flexible Control Options: Single girder gantry cranes offer versatile control methods, including ground handle operation, wireless remote control, and cab-mounted control. This flexibility allows operators to choose the most convenient and safe method based on the working environment and lifting requirements.
♦Ease of Installation and Maintenance: The crane’s simple and logical design makes installation and operation straightforward, even for less experienced personnel. Routine maintenance is also simplified due to the crane’s low dead weight and accessible components, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
♦Standardized Components: Many parts of single girder gantry cranes can be standardized, generalized, or serialized, allowing for easier replacement, consistent performance, and reduced operational costs over the crane’s service life.
Safety Devices
♦Overload Protection Device: An overload protection system is installed to prevent lifting loads beyond the crane’s rated capacity. When an overload occurs, a loud alarm immediately alerts the operator, helping to avoid accidents and equipment damage.
♦Limit Switches: Limit switches prevent the crane hook from being over-lifted or lowered beyond safe limits. This ensures precise operation, protects the hoist mechanism, and reduces the risk of accidents caused by improper lifting.
♦Polyurethane Buffer: High-quality polyurethane buffers are fitted on the crane to absorb shock and reduce impact. This extends the working life of the crane while providing smoother and safer operations, especially during repeated lifting cycles.
♦Control Options for Operator Safety: Both room control and wireless remote control are available to keep operators at a safe distance during operation, minimizing exposure to potential hazards.
♦Low Voltage and Current Overload Protection: Low voltage protection safeguards the crane in case of unstable power supply, while a current overload protection system prevents electrical faults and ensures reliable, safe operation.
♦Emergency Stop Button: An emergency stop button allows the operator to halt the crane immediately in critical situations, preventing accidents and ensuring personnel safety.
