Overhead Cranes
Single Girder Overhead Cranes
Custom single girder overhead cranes for light-to-medium workshop lifting, typically 1–20 t. One main girder keeps self-weight, runway load and cost down.
Overview
Single Girder Overhead Cranes
We build custom single girder overhead cranes for daily and medium-duty lifting in standard factory workshops. With complete in-house production capacity, we design and manufacture single girder cranes and matched lifting assemblies around your space and load requirements, whatever the limits of your site.
A single girder overhead crane carries the hoist on one main girder, which keeps its self-weight, the load on the building runway beams and the investment and installation cost lower than a double girder design. It is the usual choice for light-to-medium workloads of 1–20 t in maintenance shops, small processing plants and facilities with low-frequency lifting. For heavier loads or continuous production, see our double girder overhead cranes.

Where it is used
- Maintenance shops Intermittent use for equipment maintenance and occasional lifting.
- Small processing plants Regular daily production lifting at light-to-medium loads.
- Facilities with low-frequency lifting A lighter, lower-cost crane that covers the bay without the expense of a double girder design.
