A customer from Indonesia contacted us to purchase a lightweight single girder overhead crane. It is understood that this customer is from a local comprehensive printing enterprise, mainly producing textbooks, packaging boxes and commercial promotional materials. They have several large printing presses, die-cutting machines and laminating equipment in their factory. As order volumes grew, they needed to move raw materials more safely and efficiently. Therefore, they wanted to add a single girder overhead crane to the shop.
The customer's core requirement was to achieve frequent lifting of heavy loads of up to 5 tons between the print shop and the raw material warehouse. Specifically:
Lifting of large rolls of paper (weight of a single roll approx. 2-4 tons)
Handling of ink drums and chemical material drums (200-300 kilograms per drum, to be lifted in groups)
Replacement of Printing Cylinders and Die Cutting Plates (Precision Equipment, Smooth Lifting Required)
Load finished pallets to doorways for removal to trucks
When choosing a lifting solution for our customers, we offer a single girder crane solution. The customer's lifting requirement was 5 tons, the span requirement was 13.5 meters and the lifting height was 6 meters. Single girder overhead cranes are fully capable of meeting the lifting needs of our customers.
| Comparison | ✅ Single girder overhead travelling crane | ✅ Double girder overhead travelling crane |
|---|---|---|
| Applicable working conditions | Light to medium load, infrequent operations such as machining, assembly shop, warehouse | Heavy load, high intensity, high frequency operation, such as heavy machinery plant, metallurgy, port, shipbuilding |
| Lifting capacity | 0.5 - 20 tons for 5 tons | Starting at 5 tons, it can reach hundreds of tons, leaving room for future expansion. |
| Span and Lift Height | Spans up to 22.5 meters, 13.5 meters in the standard range | Span up to 31.5 meters, energy efficient use of space, higher effective lifting height |
| Investment Costs | Low. Simple construction, less material, budget-friendly option | High. Complex structure, many consumables, high technology |
| Maintenance | Easy and low cost. Simple structure, routine maintenance mainly focuses on the lifting mechanism | Complicated and costly. Requires specialized personnel to regularly inspect the double girder structure, etc., which is technically demanding |
| Work efficiency | Runs relatively slowly, suitable for scenarios that do not require high speed | Fast operation speed, can significantly improve the work efficiency |
| Operational Stability | The high rigidity and stability of the double-beam structure is superior, especially at high frequencies and precise positioning | Strong structural rigidity, low vibration during operation, more accurate positioning |
| Operation Mode | Simple. Mostly use ground operation, through the handle or remote control can be, simple and easy to get started | Complicated. Can be equipped with cab operation, integrated with more control systems, requires professional training |
Single girder overhead cranes can also be customized to meet the specific needs of the plant, with options such as variable frequency drives, radio remote controls, and automated controls. Overall, single girder eot cranes offer a number of advantages, making them a popular choice for many industries. By working with a reputable manufacturer, plant operators can choose the right crane for their needs and maximize their return on investment.
