Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)

Q1. What is a Single Girder Gantry Crane?

A Single Girder Gantry Crane is a lifting system that uses one main horizontal girder supported by legs. The crane travels along ground-level rails or a suitable travelling surface to lift and move materials across an industrial area.

Q2. What is the difference between a Single Girder Gantry Crane and a Single Girder EOT Crane?

A Single Girder Gantry Crane is supported by travelling legs, while a Single Girder EOT Crane typically runs on elevated runway beams attached to the building structure. Gantry cranes are often suitable for open yards or facilities without an elevated crane runway.

Q3. Where are Single Girder Gantry Cranes used?

They are commonly used in manufacturing units, warehouses, fabrication workshops, engineering facilities, construction sites, and industrial yards.

Q4. What is the lifting capacity of a Single Girder Gantry Crane?

The lifting capacity depends on the structural design, span, hoisting mechanism, and working duty. The appropriate capacity should be selected according to the intended load and application.

Q5. Can Single Girder Gantry Cranes be customized?

Yes. They can be customized according to lifting capacity, span, lifting height, travel speed, control system, installation layout, and operational requirements.
