Single girder crane for sale

 

Why do you need to buy a single girder crane

• Easier installation, maintenance, and service
• Ideal for buildings with limited headroom
• Lower overall weight
• Lower production costs
• One of the more cost-effective options for light and medium duty applications

Single girder crane for sale introduction

Overhead cranes that operate with a minimum of two overhead runways built into a building’s support structure are more commonly referred to as “bridge” cranes. The bridge serves two purposes – first, it’s a load-bearing beam running the entire width of the work area and second, it’s the structure connecting the runways on which the hoist moves. The configuration is based on the number of beams it’s comprised of. For example, one beam is known as a single girder configuration while two would be a double girder configuration.

One of the primary factors that influence the complexity and cost of an overhead lifting system is its design. So it’s important to select a configuration that best addresses your specific application. The bridge on a single girder crane is comprised of one beam that is supported by two end trucks (one on each side). While the bridge can have a top or under-running configuration, the hoist and trolley are normally underhung. If a light or medium duty crane best addresses your application and you have limited headroom to work with, a single girder crane is the ideal choice. Thus, selecting the gantry based on your specific requirement is important.

Furthermore, they’re more cost-effective than the double girder counterpart because they require fewer manufacturing materials and are typically lighter. However, there is a downside with those cost savings, namely they are limited where capacity, hook height, and span are concerned. Additionally, certain special features such as operator cabs and walkways are more difficult to incorporate into a single girder crane design and are more costly as a result. For applications requiring a 15-ton+ capacity, a span of 65+ feet, or other special features, the double girder crane is a better choice.
