What is a Single Girder EOT Crane?
A single girder EOT crane is a robust lifting system with:
-
Main girder: Welded box-type or rolled I-beam, made from high-strength steel.
-
Electric hoist: Wire rope or chain hoist with 3-8 m/min lifting speeds, powered by 5-20 kW motors.
-
End carriages: Wheels for smooth movement along runway rails.
-
Controls: Pendant, radio remote, or cabin for precise operation.
These cranes are ideal for various industries, including automotive, steel fabrication, logistics, construction, and manufacturing. They work well in low-headroom spaces of 6 to 8 meters and are good for light to medium-duty tasks.
Key Features and Benefits
1. Space Efficient
-
Minimizes hook approach, maximizing floor space.
-
Fits low-ceiling facilities, ideal for small workshops.
2. Strong and Safe
-
High-tensile steel girder supports up to 35 tons.
-
DC electromagnetic brakes and limit switches ensure secure load handling.
-
Overload protection and emergency stop prevent accidents.
3. Efficient Operation
-
Compact drives enable precise load positioning.
-
Optional VVVF drives offer adjustable speed control for accuracy.
-
TEFC motors (IP55-rated, Class F insulation) ensure reliability and durability.
4. Low Maintenance
-
Durable wire ropes and modular design reduce wear and simplify repairs.
-
Regular maintenance can extend the life of a crane to 20 years or more.
