Single Girder EOT Cranes (Upto 15 Tons)
Home / Single Girder EOT Cranes (Upto 15 Tons)
Single Girder EOT Crane is a type of overhead crane that consists of one Main beam and two end carriages. The main beam supports the hoist & trolley, which can move along on the bottom of the beam flange. The end carriages are attached to runway rails, which allow the crane to travel along the length of the workshop.
Single Girder EOT Cranes are maximally used for light loads upto 10T and spans usually upto 20 mtrs. They can be equipped with either Wire Rope Hoist or Chain Hoist as per the load application and Customer requirements. Some of the advantages of double girder EOT Cranes are:
They are versatile cranes used frequently for varied needs in industrial applications
- Single girder cranes has more working area in longitudinal & cross direction than double girder cranes
- It is cheaper and easier to install than a double girder eot crane, as it requires less material and fewer components.
- It has a lower dead weight and a higher lifting capacity than a double girder eot crane, as it has less obstruction from the cross girders and the hoist is closer to the main beam
- It has a simpler structure and a lower maintenance cost than a double girder eot crane, as it has fewer parts and less wear and tear.
- It has a better visibility and a higher safety factor than a double girder eot crane, as the operator can see the load more clearly and avoid collisions with other objects.
Single girder EOT cranes are suitable for industries such as steel, power, manufacturing, mining and cement. They can handle a variety of materials, such as coils, plates, billets, scrap, parts, and machinery. Single girder EOT cranes are designed and manufactured according to the specific requirements of each customer, taking into account factors such as load capacity, span, lifting height, speed, duty cycle, and environmental conditions.
Some of the common components of Single Girder EOT Cranes are:
Primary structural component that spans the width of the Crane. It supports the trolley and hoist and connects to the end trucks.
Located at both ends of the Bridge Girder, these components house the wheels that enable the crane’s movement along the runway beams.
The device that lifts, positions, and lowers the load using a wire rope or chain and a hook.
The device that carries the hoist along the length of the boom. It can be manual or motorized.
Powers the crane’s movements and include motors, controllers and power supply lines
The interface used by the operator to direct the crane’s movements and lifting operations.
