Low Headroom Single Girder Gantry Crane 5 Ton- S9m-H5m

Yes — this is exactly the workshop size this drawing is designed for. The layout works as follows:

• Workshop internal width: 10.0 m
• Crane span: 9.0 m (center-to-center of the two rails)
• Total crane width: 9.6 m (including end carriage overhang and buffers)
• Side clearance: approx. 0.2 m per side between the crane outer edge and the workshop wall

The 0.2m per-side clearance is tight but workable for a low headroom single girder gantry crane with ground rails. If your workshop has columns, piping, or equipment along the walls, tell Yuantai — the span may need to be reduced or the rail position adjusted.

This low headroom single girder gantry crane is engineered to leave safe clearance under a 7m ceiling:

• Total crane height: approx. 6.4 m — from rail level to the top of the structure
• Workshop clear height: 7.0 m
• Clearance margin: approx. 0.6 m — for structural deflection, thermal movement, installation tolerance, and maintenance access

The 6.4m total height is achieved by using the NR European low-headroom hoist, which minimizes the structural depth above the hook path. The 5.0m lifting height is the usable hook lift — the remaining 1.4m is the girder, hoist body, and trolley frame above the hook.

For a 5 ton capacity and 9m span inside a 10m wide workshop, a single girder gantry crane is usually the better choice because:

• Lower total height — a single girder is shallower than a double girder, which is critical when ceiling clearance is limited to 7m
• Lower deadweight — the single girder design keeps the crane lighter, reducing wheel load to 44.3 kN and lowering rail foundation cost
• Simpler structure — fewer components, lower maintenance, and faster installation
• Sufficient for 5t / A5 duty — a single girder covers 5 ton capacity at ISO A5 without needing the extra stiffness of a double girder

A double girder gantry crane would be required only if you need higher capacity (above 20t), a higher duty class (A6+), or a larger hook lift within the same ceiling height.

Six numbers on this 5 ton gantry crane drawing must match your workshop, or the crane will not fit:

If any of these six differ from your workshop, tell Yuantai before ordering — each change affects price and lead time on the 5 ton gantry crane.

The maximum wheel load is 44.3 kN per wheel. This is relatively light for a 5 ton gantry crane because the single girder design reduces deadweight. Key points for this low headroom single girder gantry crane:

• P22 steel rail is the recommended rail type
• Wheel diameter: 200 mm (490 mm end carriage wheel) with a 30mm buffer stroke
• Rail foundation must be designed for 44.3 kN concentrated load per wheel
• Wheel base: 3.0 m (end carriage base 4.0m) — distributes load along the rail

Because 44.3 kN is a light wheel load, the indoor rail foundation can often be a simple concrete beam rather than a heavy reinforced structure. Confirm with your civil engineer using the 44.3 kN figure.

NR is a European-spec low-headroom wire rope hoist used on this 5 ton gantry crane. It is chosen for indoor workshops because:

• Low headroom — the compact hoist body minimizes structural depth, which is what allows the 6.4m total height under a 7m ceiling
• Light deadweight — reduces girder load and wheel load (44.3 kN) on the P22 rail
• Dual-speed hoisting — 0.8 / 5.0 m/min for precise placement and faster lifting
• Proven European design — widely used in gear manufacturing and assembly workshops

The NR hoist is the standard pairing for this low headroom single girder gantry crane. If your project needs a different hoist type or brand, it can be re-specified.

To avoid surprises at installation, these items are outside the single girder gantry crane supply scope unless you specifically add them:

• P22 ground rail and rail fasteners
• Rail foundation designed for 44.3 kN wheel load
• Site power supply up to the crane isolator
• Erection crane and site lifting equipment
• Local electrical connection and permits

Yuantai can supply rails, anchor sets, and foundation load drawings as optional items — just state this in your enquiry so they appear in the quotation.

Send these ten items and Yuantai will issue a free custom single girder gantry crane CAD drawing, 3D model, and proposal within 24 hours:

1. Workshop internal width (m) — determines maximum span
2. Workshop clear internal height (m) — determines total height limit
3. Workshop length / rail travel distance (m)
4. Required lifting capacity (t)
5. Required lifting height (m)
6. Power supply (V / Hz / Ph)
7. Lifts per hour or hours per day (duty)
8. Longest load length and weight
9. Wall / column obstructions along the rail line
10. Control preference: pendant, wireless, cabin, or dual

The more complete the list, the faster and more accurate the single girder gantry crane drawing, 3D model, and quote.
