Single Girder Gantry Crane for Versatile Industrial Lifting

A single girder gantry crane is a versatile lifting device designed with a single horizontal beam supported by sturdy legs that travel along rails or wheels. Unlike traditional overhead bridge cranes that rely on a building’s structural runway, this crane features its own independent framework. This makes it especially suitable for outdoor environments, temporary work sites, or facilities where installing permanent runways is impractical.

The crane is equipped with a hoist trolley that moves smoothly along the bottom flange of the girder, allowing for efficient lifting and precise material positioning. With lifting capacities that can range from a few tons up to several tons, the single girder gantry crane provides a compact, reliable, and cost-effective solution for diverse material handling applications across industries such as logistics, construction, and manufacturing.

A single girder gantry crane is made up of several key components that function together to deliver smooth, safe, and efficient lifting operations. Each part plays a critical role in ensuring the crane’s stability, mobility, and reliability during material handling tasks.

-Single Main Girder: This is the central horizontal beam of the single girder gantry crane, designed to bear the full lifting load. It supports the hoist and provides the path for the trolley to travel across the working span. Its robust yet lightweight design ensures strength while maintaining overall crane efficiency.

-Legs/Support Frames: The vertical legs connect the main girder to the base or wheels. They form the crane’s support structure and ensure smooth movement along rails or flat ground. Depending on the application, the legs may be rigid or flexible for added stability.

-Hoist and Trolley System: Mounted beneath the main girder, the hoist lifts and lowers the load, while the trolley moves it horizontally. Together, they allow precise load positioning and smooth operation.

-End Carriages and Wheels: These enable the entire crane to travel along a track or across a factory floor, ensuring mobility and extended coverage.

-Control System: The single girder gantry crane can be operated through pendant control, cabin control, or wireless remote, allowing easy, safe, and efficient operation in different working environments.
