What Is a Single Girder Overhead Crane?
A single girder overhead crane uses one bridge girder to support the trolley and hoist, offering a lighter and more economical solution for lower capacities and shorter spans. It installs easily, operates efficiently, and is ideal for everyday manufacturing, warehousing, and maintenance work.
Our single girder cranes often use a pre-engineered hoist or packaged crane kit from trusted vendors for reliable, consistent performance.
