Overhead Cranes

Street single girder cranes are our most popular type of overhead crane as they provide the most cost-effective lifting solution for all capacities to 25 tonnes for indoor or outdoor applications. Our top running single girder solutions deliver the same levels of reliability and performance as all of our other cranes but the lower wheel loads of a single girder have lower building and structural support costs associated with them and therefore offer a more attractive price to performance ratio.

Depending on your application our single girder cranes incorporate either our ZX wire rope hoists or our LX chain hoists at very low capacities or when an extra competitive solution is required.

Advantages of Street single girder cranes with ZX hoists.

• Extra hoist brake safety
• Additional protection against overloading
• No external hoist gears
• Double band rope guide
• Hoist gear inspection facility
• Unique fail-safe hoist drum
• Variable speed travel and traverse
• No external trolley gears
• Sturdy trolley side rollers
• Trolley reaction roller precludes the need for a counterweight.

Street double girder cranes can be engineered into the roof space within a building where the maximum lifting height is a primary requirement inside a building. The crab/trolley on a double girder can also provide better side hook approaches than a single girder crane particularly where large lifting heights are specified.

Double girder cranes are available in capacities up to 80 tonnes equipped with our ZX wire rope hoists and up to 200 tonnes using our heavier duty VX hoist. Our top running double girders are designed to run on either four or eight long travel wheels depending on the allowable wheel loads and multiple trolley gauges are available to accommodate different lifting heights.
