Contact us to get your tailored gantry crane and get good gantry crane price. 

Full gantry vs. Semi gantry

In terms of structures of gantry frame , Single girder gantry crane can be grouped into

• Full single girder gantry crane - Single girder gantry crane with full gantry design is a double leg single girder gantry crane, with main beam girder supported on the two legs, which are in the same height.
• Semi single girder gantry crane - Single girder gantry crane with semi gantry design is a Single leg single girder gantry crane, with the other end of the main girder supported on the building structure.

Double cantilever, Single cantilever & No cantilever

In terms of cantilever design of gantry frame , single girder gantry crane can be grouped into

• Double cantilever Single girder gantry crane -Single girder gantry crane with double cantilevers are the most frequently used structure, which can take full use of the endurance capacity of crane structure and application space reasonably.
• Single cantilever Single girder gantry crane - Single girder gantry crane with Single cantilever is usually used when the application space is limited.
• Single girder gantry crane with no cantilever - Single girder gantry crane with no cantilever makes the hoisting trolley or winch trolley running within the crane span.

Truss gantry vs. Box gantry

In terms of the structure of gantry girder designs , single girder gantry cranes can be grouped into

• Truss single girder gantry crane - The truss gantry girder is welded with angle steel or I-beam, featured as low manufacturing cost, light self-weight, and good wind resistance. However, due to the large amount of welding points and the inborn defects of the trusses structure,, the truss gantry girder has the disadvantages of large deflection, low rigidity, low reliability, and frequent welding spots detection. Truss cranes are suitable for application with low requirements on safety and lifting capacity.
• Box structure single girder gantry crane - The box shaped gantry girder is welded with steel plates , with features of high safety, stiffness and other, etc. Box gantry girder design is usually used for Single girder gantry cranes with large and super large tonnages. The box gantry girder design also has the drawbacks of high production cost, heavy self weight and poor wind resistance.

L leg gantry, C leg gantry & A frame gantry

According to the leg design , the Single girder gantry cranes have L-shaped leg single girder gantry crane and C-shaped leg single girder gantry crane,and A frame single girder gantry crane.

• L shape leg single girder gantry crane - The L-shape leg single girder gantry crane is easy to manufacture and install, , good endurance capacity and light self-weighted. However, the space for lifting cargo through the legs is relatively small.
• C shape leg single girder gantry crane -The C-shaped legs are made to be inclined or curved so as to have a large lateral space for the cargo to pass through the legs.
• A frame single girder gantry crane - The A frame single girder gantry crane is a variation of general use single girder gantry crane, which shape of side profile, which is used for light and medium material handling.

Mobile gantry vs. Rail mounted gantry crane

A frame single girder gantry crane has the two types, mobile single girder gantry crane / portable single girder gantry crane and fixed single girder gantry crane for indoor or outdoor applications:

• Mobile single girder gantry cranes –Mobile A-frame single girder gantry cranes can be wheeled between locations with high flexibility , suitable for light duty material handling.
• Rail mounted single girder gantry cranes – Fixed A-frame single girder gantry crane offers higher strength for heavier capacities but with lower mobility comparing with the portable Single girder gantry crane.

Advantages of buying a Single girder gantry crane

Why to buy single girder gantry crane? What is the advantages of buying a single girder gantry crane?

Single girder gantry cranes are able to offering material handling solution without making large investments.

Single girder gantry cranes with the runway located on the floor, which need no supporting steel structure, saving building construction cost, which are more cost-effective comparing with the overhead crane system.

Single girder gantry crane s have a wide application indoors and outdoors.

Single girder gantry cranes can be used when the existing steel or concrete structure of factory workshop cannot support the wheel loads of the overhead crane, or when the handling objects need to be lifted outside the crane span and when the crane relocation is required after finishing tasks at a certain site.

Single girder gantry cranes offers more flexible material handling solutions.

With adjustable design, the single girder gantry crane can adjust the heights, spans, and treads , which makes loads go through doorways or around obstacles flexibly and easily. With portable or movable design, the portable Single girder gantry cranes offers a completely mobile solution with capacity up to 10 tons, a great alternative to large and permanent crane system.

If the single girder gantry crane will travel on the same path, the fixed rail gantry cranes make the travelling of single girder gantry crane simple and fast. If space is limited, a single leg gantry crane can provide a lifting solution with a wall-mounted semi-gantry,  or A-frame gantry cranes with single or no cantilever design may offer satisfied solutions. With different wheel options, single girder gantry cranes are able to provide the right wheels for the particular applications.

Gantry hoist

For various types of single girder gantry cranes, there are various types of gantry hoists available to meet industrial applications.

Applications of Single girder gantry cranes

Single girder Single girder gantry crane is a light duty single girder gantry crane which is generally used when the loads Q≤50 ton and the span S≤35m. Single girder gantry cranes have a very wide application, which can be adopted when overhead crane or bridge crane is not practical such as, the following conditions:

• when the existing workshop structure cannot support the wheel loads of the overhead crane,
• When the material handling solution is need outdoors without the cost of a building or support steel work,
• when objects needs to be hoisted outside the crane span
• when the relocation of the hoisting Single girder gantry crane is needed after the completion of work at a certain site..

The single girder gantry cranes can be used indoors or outdoors, for material handling in various industrial applications such as in steel stock yards, pre-cast segment yards, construction sites , open-air storage yard, freight yards, docks, power plants, ports and railway stations and other places for cargo handling and installation operations.
