A single-girder overhead crane consists of a single horizontal bridge girder supported by an end carriage at each end.
An electric hoist and trolley normally travel along the lower flange of the bridge girder, allowing loads to be lifted and moved across the working area.
The crane bridge travels along elevated runway rails supported by the building structure or by a purpose-built freestanding runway system.
Single girder cranes are commonly used in:
Their straightforward design makes them suitable for many light- and medium-duty lifting applications.
Single girder overhead cranes offer several operational and financial advantages.
A single girder system generally requires fewer structural components than a double girder crane. This can reduce manufacturing, transport, installation and ongoing maintenance costs.
The lower overall deadweight of a single-girder crane places less load on the runway system and the supporting building structure.
This can make it a suitable option for facilities with structural or space limitations, subject to professional assessment.
Single girder cranes provide broad coverage of the working area while maintaining a relatively compact design.
They can help businesses improve material movement without occupying valuable floor space.
A simpler bridge-and-trolley arrangement can make installation, inspections, servicing, and maintenance more straightforward.
When properly designed for the required capacity, span, and duty cycle, a single girder crane can provide dependable lifting performance for routine industrial operations.
Every workplace has different lifting requirements. Cranetec can customise a single-girder crane system to your facility, application, and operating environment.
Important design considerations include:
Our team will review these factors before recommending an appropriate crane and hoist configuration.
Selecting an overhead crane involves more than choosing a lifting capacity.
The crane must also suit the building structure, runway dimensions, production workflow and frequency of use.
Cranetec can assess your operating environment and determine whether a single-girder crane is suitable for your application.
A single girder overhead crane may be appropriate when:
For heavier loads, longer spans, or applications requiring greater hook height, a double-girder overhead crane may be more suitable.
Cranetec provides a complete service from initial consultation through to installation and ongoing support.
Our process may include:
Where an existing building cannot support the crane runway, a freestanding runway system may be considered.
All structural and technical requirements must be assessed before installation.
A single-girder crane can be fitted with an electric chain hoist or an electric wire rope hoist, depending on the required capacity, lifting height, duty cycle, and operating conditions.
Control options may include:
Cranetec can recommend an appropriate hoist and control system for your application.

A single-girder crane is an overhead travelling crane with a single bridge girder supported by end carriages.
A hoist and trolley generally travel along the lower flange of the girder, allowing loads to be lifted and moved across the crane’s operating area.
The cost depends on the lifting capacity, span, lifting height, duty classification, runway structure, hoist type, controls and installation requirements.
A site assessment and detailed review of your requirements are normally required before an accurate quotation can be provided.
A single girder crane uses one bridge girder, while a double girder crane uses two.
Double-girder cranes are generally considered for heavier capacities, longer spans, or applications requiring greater hook height.
The most suitable design depends on the facility and lifting application.
Yes, subject to an assessment of the building structure, available space, runway system and required lifting capacity.
Where the existing building cannot support the crane, a freestanding runway structure may be considered.
Single girder cranes can be designed for outdoor use when the equipment, electrical components, controls and protective systems are selected for the operating environment.
Yes. Cranetec provides crane inspections, preventive maintenance, repairs, hoist servicing, modernisation and breakdown support.
Yes. A crane can be configured with pendant controls, radio remote controls or other control options depending on the application and safety requirements.
