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.

Single Girder vs. Double Girder EOT Cranes

Feature Single Girder Double Girder Construction:

One girder, Two girders

Capacity Up to 35 tons Up to 500+ tons

Span Up to 30 meters Up to 40+ meters

Headroom Low (6-8 m) Higher (8-12 m)

Cost Economical Higher

Maintenance: Simple, low-cost Complex, costly

Applications: Small workshops, Large factories

Choose Single Girder If:

The budget is limited.
Space is constrained.
Loads are under 35 tons.

Choose Double Girder If:

Heavy-duty lifting (50+ tons).
Longer spans or high-precision tasks.
Ample headroom is available.

Customization Options

Consolidated SWIFT offers tailored solutions:

Safety: Anti-collision sensors, slack wire limit switches, load limiters with displays.
Controls: Radio remotes, independent pendants, tandem hoist operation.
Durability: Galvanized coatings, heavy-duty gears, and bridge lights for visibility.

Applications and Case Study

Single girder EOT cranes excel in:

Automotive: Lifting engines or chassis.
Steel Fabrication: Handling heavy plates.
Logistics: Streamlining warehouse operations.

Case Study: A Pune workshop installed a 10-ton single-girder EOT crane in 2023 (15-meter span, radio remote). It fit a 6-meter ceiling, boosted efficiency by 40%, and paid off in 18 months.

Maintenance Tips

Monthly: Lubricate wire ropes, check for wear.
Quarterly: Inspect brakes and limit switches.
Annually: Verify girder alignment and motor insulation.
Compliance: Follow IS 3177 standards.
