Single Girder Overhead Crane

Single Girder Overhead Crane

Product Introduction

A single girder overhead crane is one of the most commonly used lifting solutions for workshops, warehouses, production lines, maintenance areas, and industrial plants. It consists of one main bridge girder, end carriages, an electric hoist, electrical control system, and crane traveling mechanism.Compared with double girder overhead cranes, a single girder overhead crane has a lighter structure, lower wheel load, compact design, and cost-effective performance. It is especially suitable for light to medium-duty lifting operations where efficient material handling and economical investment are required.ZOKECRANE single girder overhead cranes are designed and manufactured by Henan Zoke Crane Co., Ltd., a professional lifting equipment manufacturer located in Changyuan, Henan Province, one of China’s major crane production centers.

Frequently Asked Questions About Single Girder Overhead Crane

1. What is a single girder overhead crane?

A single girder overhead crane is a type of bridge crane with one main girder. The electric hoist travels along the lower flange or hoist track of the main girder, while the whole crane travels along runway beams installed on both sides of the workshop.

It is widely used for light and medium-duty lifting operations in workshops, warehouses, production lines, and industrial plants.

2. What is the difference between a single girder overhead crane and a double girder overhead crane?

A single girder overhead crane has one main bridge girder, while a double girder overhead crane has two main bridge girders.

Single girder cranes are usually lighter, more economical, and suitable for lower to medium lifting capacities. Double girder cranes are generally used for heavier loads, larger spans, higher lifting heights, and more demanding working conditions.

3. What lifting capacity can a single girder overhead crane handle?

Single girder overhead cranes are commonly used for capacities from 1 ton to 20 tons. The actual capacity can be designed according to the customer’s lifting requirements, working duty, span, and workshop conditions.

4. What information should I provide to get a quotation?

To provide an accurate quotation, please share the following information:

  1. Lifting capacity
  2. Crane span
  3. Lifting height
  4. Traveling length
  5. Working duty or daily working hours
  6. Power supply voltage
  7. Control method
  8. Workshop drawings, if available
  9. Application and working environment
  10. Destination country or port

5. Can the crane be customized?

Yes. ZOKECRANE can customize single girder overhead cranes according to your site conditions and lifting requirements, including capacity, span, lifting height, working duty, hoist type, control method, power supply, painting color, and other technical details.

6. What control methods are available?

Common control methods include:

  • Pendant control
  • Wireless remote control
  • Cabin control

For most single girder overhead cranes, pendant control and wireless remote control are the most commonly selected options.

7. What type of hoist is used on a single girder overhead crane?

A single girder overhead crane is usually equipped with a wire rope electric hoist. For workshops with limited headroom, a low-headroom electric hoist can be selected to increase the effective lifting height.

8. Can it be used outdoors?

A standard single girder overhead crane is mainly used indoors. If the crane needs to be used outdoors or in a semi-outdoor environment, we can provide suitable protection measures such as rain cover, anti-corrosion painting, outdoor electrical protection, and wind protection devices according to the working conditions.

9. Is the single girder overhead crane easy to install?

Yes. Single girder overhead cranes have a relatively simple structure and are easier to install compared with heavier double girder cranes. ZOKECRANE can provide installation drawings, electrical diagrams, operation manuals, and online technical guidance.

10. How do I choose the right single girder overhead crane?

You should choose the crane based on:

  • Maximum load weight
  • Workshop span
  • Required lifting height
  • Traveling distance
  • Working frequency
  • Material type
  • Power supply
  • Indoor or outdoor use
  • Local safety requirements
  • Budget

If you are not sure which model is suitable, ZOKECRANE engineers can help recommend a proper crane solution.
