How to Choose a Right Single Girder Overhead Crane

How to Choose a Right Single Girder Overhead Crane


Post time: Jul-22-2024

Do you need to purchase a single girder overhead crane? You must consider a number of vital factors to make sure you buy a crane system that meets your needs—today and tomorrow.

Weight capacity. The first thing you must consider is the amount of weight you will be lifting and moving. Whether you are lifting steel coils, equipment, concrete blocks, aviation components, or something else, you will need a single girder overhead crane that can handle the weight of your load.

The thing to remember about single beam overhead cranes is that they are designed for light to medium loads. There is a limit to their lifting capacity. Most single girder overhead cranes are rated to lift and move between 10 and 15 tons. So if your loads are heavier than this, you will need to consider a double girder overhead crane.

Span. You may want to purchase a 5 ton single girder eot crane as it is one of the most cost-effective solutions. It uses less material and is lighter and more compact than a double girder overhead crane. This makes it cheaper to build, transport, and install. Keep in mind that there is a limit to the span of a 5 ton single girder eot crane.

Top running vs bottom running. Top running single girder overhead cranes run on top of each track beam. Single girder underhung bridge cranes run on the underside of each rail beam.

The main advantage of both is that top running single girder cranes have a higher load-bearing capacity than bottom running single girder cranes. On the other hand, single girder underhung bridge cranes maximize the use of floor space when mounted on ceiling trusses or roof structures.

Customization. SEVENCRANE can design a custom single beam overhead crane for you according to your needs. Individual configuration is made according to the working environment, working load, space restrictions and safety requirements. Strict production and assembly in accordance with design requirements during the manufacturing process ensures the reliability and safety of the 5 ton single girder eot crane.
