Smart Control Double Girder Overhead Crane for Optimized Productivity

A double girder overhead crane is a type of lifting equipment designed with two parallel girder beams that form the bridge, supported by end trucks on each side. In most configurations, the trolley and hoist travel along a rail installed on top of the girders. This design provides a significant advantage in terms of hook height, as positioning the hoist between or above the girders can add an extra 18 to 36 inches of lift—making it highly efficient for facilities that require maximum overhead clearance.

Double girder cranes can be engineered in either top running or under running configurations. A top running double girder bridge crane generally offers the greatest hook height and overhead room, making it suitable for large-scale industrial environments. Because of their robust design, double girder overhead cranes are the preferred solution for heavy-duty applications that demand higher lifting capacities and longer spans. However, the added complexity of their hoist, trolley, and support systems makes them more expensive compared to single girder cranes.

These cranes also place greater demands on a building’s structure, often requiring stronger foundations, additional tie-backs, or independent support columns to handle the increased deadweight. Despite these considerations, double girder bridge cranes are valued for their durability, stability, and ability to perform frequent and demanding lifting operations.

Commonly used in industries such as mining, steel production, railyards, and shipping ports, double girder overhead cranes are versatile enough for both indoor and outdoor applications, whether in a bridge or gantry setup, and remain a cornerstone solution for handling heavy loads safely and efficiently.
