Double Girder Overhead Crane 10 Ton S13.5m H18m High Lift

The 18m high lift is designed for tall industrial bays and deep vertical material handling. It is chosen when:

• Tall industrial bays: Buildings with roof heights above 20m needing full vertical coverage
• Multi-level storage: Stacking or retrieving materials at 4-6 levels above floor
• Deep vertical handling: Lowering or raising components into deep pits, shafts, or below-grade structures
• Heavy equipment maintenance: Lifting tall machinery or vertical assemblies that need clearance above the load
• Power plant & energy facilities: Turbine halls, boiler rooms, and vertical component handling

If your bay has a standard roof height (under 12m), a high lift crane may not be necessary — a standard H5m-H8m model would be more economical. Tell Yuantai your actual required lift, not the maximum possible.

At 18m hook height, load sway becomes a major safety concern because the pendulum effect is amplified by rope length. This high lift double girder overhead crane addresses sway through three systems:

• VFD stepless speed control — smooth acceleration and deceleration on hoist (0.8/5.0 m/min), trolley (2-20 m/min), and long travel (2-20 m/min) prevents sudden load swing
• High lift crab wire rope hoist — precise rope guiding and grooved drum reduce rope slack and lateral movement at extreme hook heights
• Dual control operation — pendant + wireless remote lets the operator stand at the best viewing position, which is critical at 18m elevation

For extreme high lift applications (above 25m), an anti-sway electronic system can be added — ask Yuantai engineering.

A crab wire rope hoist is the standard hoisting mechanism for a 10t high lift double girder overhead crane because:

• Multiple rope falls: The crab wire rope hoist can be configured with 4/1 or 6/1 rope reeving to achieve the 18m lift while maintaining stable load control
• Higher rigidity: The crab frame distributes load evenly across the two girders, resisting bending at 10t capacity
• Higher hook lift: The crab runs on top of the two girders, so the hook can be raised closer to the bridge for maximum usable lift
• Better stability: The crab trolley runs on two rails (1400mm gauge), reducing load swing at high elevations
• Easier maintenance: The crab design allows easier inspection and servicing of the hoist, motor, and brake

A single girder overhead crane is not suitable for 18m high lift at 10t capacity — the double girder with crab wire rope hoist is the standard configuration for tall bays.

Seven numbers on this high lift double girder overhead crane with crab wire rope hoist drawing must match your bay, or the crane will not fit or operate correctly:

If any of these seven differ from your bay, tell Yuantai before ordering — each change affects price and lead time on the high lift double girder overhead crane.

P30 rail is specified for this high lift double girder overhead crane with crab wire rope hoist because:

• Wheel load: approx. 79.6 kN — the 10t capacity and 13.5m span create significant load moment at the end carriages
• Heavier high lift structure: The high lift double girder bridge with extended crab wire rope hoist is heavier than a standard crane, increasing the wheel load
• VFD smoothness: VFD reduces dynamic loads, but P30 is still required for the approx. 79.6 kN wheel load
• Long service life: P30 rail is standard for 10t+ double girder overhead cranes in continuous workshop use
• Standard availability: P30 is a common rail section, easy to source and replace

Do not substitute a lighter rail (P22 or P24) without recalculating the wheel load and dynamic forces. The approx. 79.6 kN wheel load requires P30 or heavier.

No — this high lift double girder overhead crane with crab wire rope hoist is configured for indoor tall bay use. The overhead crane runs on elevated runway rails supported by the building structure, not on ground rails. Outdoor use would require:

• Different crane type — a high lift gantry crane with ground rails and A-frame legs is more suitable for outdoor use
• Weather protection — outdoor electrical enclosures (IP55+) and anti-corrosion treatment
• Wind load design — anti-wind devices and anchoring for outdoor wind exposure, critical at 18m height

For outdoor high lift applications, see the High Lift Gantry Crane 5 Ton - S10m - H12m, or contact Yuantai for a custom high lift outdoor crane.

To avoid surprises at installation, these items are outside the high lift double girder overhead crane with crab wire rope hoist supply scope unless you specifically add them:

• Runway rail (P30) and rail fasteners
• Runway beam and building column reinforcement
• Building structural support for the approx. 79.6 kN wheel load
• Site power supply up to the crane isolator
• Large erection crane for the high lift bridge installation (critical at 18m height)
• Local electrical connection and permits

Because the high lift overhead crane structure is taller and heavier, installation requires larger erection equipment than a standard overhead crane. Yuantai can provide installation guidance and foundation load drawings as optional items.

Send these eleven items and Yuantai will issue a free custom high lift double girder overhead crane with crab wire rope hoist CAD drawing, 3D model, and proposal within 24 hours:

1. Required lifting height (m) — e.g., 18m, most important for high lift
2. Building clear height above runway rail (m)
3. Required lifting capacity (t) — e.g., 10t
4. Workshop width and runway rail center-to-center distance (span)
5. Bay length / crane travel distance
6. Power supply (V / Hz / Ph)
7. Lifts per hour or hours per day (duty)
8. Building column and runway beam capacity
9. Longest load length and weight
10. Control preference: pendant, wireless, cabin, or both
11. Any special requirements (multi-level storage, deep pit, tall machinery)

The more complete the list, the faster and more accurate the high lift double girder overhead crane drawing, 3D model, and quote.
