Double Girder Overhead Cranes: 125 kg to 2 Tonnes

High stability, greater hook height and precise load control

Cranetec designs and manufactures custom Double Girder Overhead Cranes with lifting capacities ranging from 125 kg to 2 tonnes.
Designed for stability, precision, and efficient use of available headroom, our double-girder crane systems are suitable for workshops, manufacturing facilities, assembly areas, warehouses, and specialised industrial applications throughout Australia.
With more than 20 years of industry experience, Cranetec provides a complete overhead crane solution, including site assessment, engineering, manufacturing, installation, load testing, commissioning, servicing and ongoing technical support.

What are a Double Girder Overhead Cranes?

A double girder overhead crane uses two parallel bridge girders to support the hoist and trolley system. In many configurations, the hoist trolley travels above or between the bridge girders.

Compared with a single girder crane, this design can provide:

  • Greater available hook height
  • Improved load stability
  • Reduced bridge deflection
  • Better performance across longer spans
  • Greater structural rigidity
  • More precise load positioning
  • Options for maintenance platforms and walkways

These benefits make double-girder overhead cranes suitable for facilities where stability, headroom, and accurate handling are important.

Double Girder Overhead Cranes capacities

Cranetec can engineer double girder crane systems in the following lifting capacities:

  • 125 kg
  • 250 kg
  • 500 kg
  • 1 tonne
  • 1.6 tonnes
  • 2 tonnes

Although double-girder overhead cranes are commonly associated with heavy lifting, they can also be selected for lower-capacity applications where building span, headroom, duty cycle, or precise load control requires a stronger bridge configuration.

Why choose a double girder crane at a lower capacity?

Load capacity is only one factor when selecting an overhead crane.

A lower-capacity double girder system may be recommended for:

  • Buildings with limited available headroom
  • Facilities with long crane spans
  • Frequent or high-duty-cycle operation
  • Applications requiring precise load positioning
  • Production processes requiring minimal bridge deflection
  • Integration with maintenance walkways or service platforms
  • Facilities planning for future operational requirements

Cranetec assesses your building, workflow and lifting requirements before recommending the most appropriate crane configuration.

Key features of Cranetec double girder overhead cranes

Every Cranetec overhead crane is engineered for the requirements of the individual facility and application.

Available features include:

  • Top-running electric wire rope hoists
  • Full-length runway travel
  • Radio remote control or pendant control
  • Heavy-duty end carriages
  • Variable-speed lifting and travel
  • Overload protection
  • Upper and lower hoist limits
  • Travel limit switches
  • Anti-collision systems
  • Emergency stop controls
  • Electrical isolation
  • Maintenance platforms and walkways
  • Custom runway and structural support systems

The final crane specification will depend on the span, load type, operating environment and required duty classification.

Custom designed for your facility.

Cranetec does not rely on a one-size-fits-all approach. Our engineering team evaluates the operating environment and designs the overhead crane around your facility.

Our assessment may include:

  • Distance between runway columns
  • Crane span and runway length
  • Available headroom
  • Maximum lifting capacity
  • Load size, shape and weight
  • Frequency of operation
  • Required duty classification
  • Building structure
  • Power supply
  • Environmental conditions
  • Future production or capacity requirements

This process allows us to provide an overhead crane system that supports safe operation, efficient material handling and long-term reliability.

Safety and Australian Standards

Cranetec overhead cranes are designed, manufactured and commissioned in accordance with the relevant Australian Standards and applicable workplace safety requirements.

Depending on the crane system, safety features, and documentation may include:

  • Overload protection
  • Emergency stop controls
  • Upper and lower lifting limits
  • Cross-travel and long-travel limits
  • Electrical isolation
  • Warning devices
  • Commissioning documentation
  • Operational testing
  • Load testing before handover

Our team can also provide scheduled inspections, preventative maintenance and overhead crane servicing to help maintain safe operation and ongoing compliance.

Applications for double girder overhead cranes

Double girder overhead cranes from 125 kg to 2 tonnes can be used across a wide range of industries and applications, including:

  • Manufacturing plants
  • Engineering workshops
  • Assembly facilities
  • Steel and metal processing
  • Equipment maintenance areas
  • Warehouses
  • Production lines
  • Machinery handling
  • Tool and component positioning
  • Precision lifting operations

Where load stability, controlled movement, and efficient use of building space are essential, a custom double-girder crane can provide an effective lifting solution.
