Full goliath vs. Semi goliath

In terms of structures of goliath frame , Single girder goliath crane can be grouped into

• Full single girder goliath crane - Single girder goliath crane with full goliath design is a double leg single girder goliath crane, with main beam girder supported on the two legs, which are in the same height.
• Semi single girder goliath crane - Single girder goliath crane with semi goliath design is a Single leg single girder goliath crane, with the other end of the main girder supported on the building structure.

Double cantilever, Single cantilever & No cantilever

In terms of cantilever design of goliath frame , single girder goliath crane can be grouped into

• Double cantilever single girder goliath crane -Single girder goliath crane with double cantilevers are the most frequently used structure, which can take full use of the endurance capacity of crane structure and application space reasonably.
• Single cantilever single girder goliath crane - Single girder goliath crane with Single cantilever is usually used when the application space is limited.
• Single girder goliath crane with no cantilever - Single girder goliath crane with no cantilever makes the hoisting trolley or winch trolley running within the crane span.

Single girder goliath crane with no cantilever

Truss goliath vs. Box goliath

In terms of the structure of goliath girder designs , single girder goliath cranes can be grouped into

• Truss single girder goliath crane - The truss goliath girder is welded with angle steel or I-beam, featured as low manufacturing cost, light self-weight, and good wind resistance. However, due to the large amount of welding points and the inborn defects of the trusses structure,, the truss goliath girder has the disadvantages of large deflection, low rigidity, low reliability, and frequent welding spots detection. Truss cranes are suitable for application with low requirements on safety and lifting capacity.
• Box structure single girder goliath crane - The box shaped goliath girder is welded with steel plates , with features of high safety, stiffness and other, etc. Box goliath girder design is usually used for Single girder goliath cranes with large and super large tonnages. The box goliath girder design also has the drawbacks of high production cost, heavy self weight and poor wind resistance.

European style full  goliath crane with capacity of 1 ton to 20 ton

L leg goliath, C leg goliath & A frame goliath

According to the leg design , the Single girder goliath cranes have L-shaped leg single girder goliath crane and C-shaped leg single girder goliath crane,and A frame single girder goliath crane.

• L shape leg single girder goliath crane - The L-shape leg single girder goliath crane is easy to manufacture and install, , good endurance capacity and light self-weighted. However, the space for lifting cargo through the legs is relatively small.
• C shape leg single girder goliath crane -The C-shaped legs are made to be inclined or curved so as to have a large lateral space for the cargo to pass through the legs.
• A frame single girder goliath crane - The A frame single girder goliath crane is a variation of general use single girder goliath crane, which shape of side profile, which is used for light and medium material handling.

L Type single girder goliath crane with capacity of 5 ton to 50 ton

C Type single girder goliath crane with capacity of 5ton to 50ton

A frame goliath crane with capacity of 3ton to 20ton

Mobile goliath vs. Rail mounted goliath crane

A frame single girder goliath crane has the two types, mobile single girder goliath crane / portable single girder goliath crane and fixed single girder goliath crane for indoor or outdoor applications:

• Mobile single girder goliath cranes –Mobile A-frame single girder goliath cranes can be wheeled between locations with high flexibility , suitable for light duty material handling.
• Rail mounted single girder goliath cranes – Fixed A-frame single girder goliath crane offers higher strength for heavier capacities but with lower mobility comparing with the portable Single girder goliath crane.

Advantages of single girder goliath crane

Why to buy single girder goliath crane? What is the advantages of buying a single girder goliath crane?

Single girder goliath cranes are able to offering material handling solution without making large investments.

Single girder goliath cranes with the runway located on the floor, which need no supporting steel structure, saving building construction cost, which are more cost-effective comparing with the overhead crane system.

Single girder goliath cranes have a wide application indoors and outdoors.

Single girder goliath cranes can be used when the existing steel or concrete structure of factory workshop cannot support the wheel loads of the overhead crane, or when the handling objects need to be lifted outside the crane span and when the crane relocation is required after finishing tasks at a certain site.

Single girder goliath cranes offers more flexible material handling solutions.

With adjustable design, the single girder goliath crane can adjust the heights, spans, and treads , which makes loads go through doorways or around obstacles flexibly and easily. With portable or movable design, the portable Single girder goliath cranes offers a completely mobile solution with capacity up to 10 tons, a great alternative to large and permanent crane system.

If the single girder goliath crane will travel on the same path, the fixed rail goliath cranes make the travelling of single girder goliath crane simple and fast. If space is limited, a single leg goliath crane can provide a lifting solution with a wall-mounted semi-goliath,  or A-frame goliath cranes with single or no cantilever design may offer satisfied solutions. With different wheel options, single girder goliath cranes are able to provide the right wheels for the particular applications.

Goliath hoist

For various types of single girder goliath cranes, there are various types of goliath hoists available to meet industrial applications.

Applications of single girder goliath cranes

Single girder Single girder goliath crane is a light duty single girder goliath crane which is generally used when the loads Q≤50 ton and the span S≤35m. Single girder goliath cranes have a very wide application, which can be adopted when overhead crane or bridge crane is not practical such as, the following conditions:

• when the existing workshop structure cannot support the wheel loads of the overhead crane,
• When the material handling solution is need outdoors without the cost of a building or support steel work,
• when objects needs to be hoisted outside the crane span
• when the relocation of the hoisting Single girder goliath crane is needed after the completion of work at a certain site..

The single girder goliath cranes can be used indoors or outdoors, for material handling in various industrial applications such as in steel stock yards, pre-cast segment yards, construction sites , open-air storage yard, freight yards, docks, power plants, ports and railway stations and other places for cargo handling and installation operations.
