WS single girder overhead crane

What it is

A single girder overhead crane runs on the runway beams of a building with one main girder between two end carriages. The hoist travels on the bottom flange of the girder (underhung trolley), or a low-headroom hoist is used where the building height is limited. It is the economical choice for workshops, warehouses, maintenance bays and production lines with light to medium duty.

The girder is a rolled I-section for short spans, or a welded box or box + I section built in our structural steel plant for longer spans – see built-up steel members.

Crane types: single girder, double girder, gantry, semi-gantry, jib, monorail — WS crane types.

Structure

Main parts of an overhead crane: runway, rails, end carriages, girders, hoist, conductors and controls.

Runway beam – Hot-rolled or built-up steel section
Crane rail – Railway rail, square bar or flat rail
End carriage – Channel or box section with buffers at both ends
Main girder – Single or double; box, I or box + I by span and capacity
Hoist – Electric wire rope hoist – lift, lower, cross travel
Cross travel rail – On the girder top (double girder)
Cross conductor – Festoon cable or conductor rail
Long travel conductor – Enclosed safety conductor rail

Duty group

Vietnam: cranes are designed, manufactured and inspected to TCVN 4244:2005 and the lifting-equipment safety regulation QCVN 07:2012/BLĐTBXH, with technical inspection before use.

Preguntas frecuentes

When is a single girder crane enough?

For capacities up to about 20 t and moderate spans and duty. Above that, or when maximum hook height is needed, a double girder crane is usually better.

Do you supply the runway beams?

Yes – runway beams, rails, brackets and the building can be supplied by World Steel as one package.
