European Single Girder Gantry Crane 5 Ton S7.795m H8.1m

The span (7.795m) and total width (8.795m) are two different measurements on this single girder gantry crane:

• Span: 7.795m — the center-to-center distance between the two ground rails (7795 ± 6 mm)
• Total width: 8.795m — the overall width of the main girder, including 500mm overhangs on each side (7795 + 500 + 500 = 8795mm)

The overhangs are structural extensions on each end of the main girder. They serve two purposes:

• Hook travel beyond the rails: The trolley can travel out onto the overhangs, allowing the hook to reach slightly beyond the rails on each side
• End carriage clearance: The overhangs accommodate the end carriage structure and buffers

When planning your gantry crane installation, use the 7.795m span for rail centerline positioning, and the 8.795m total width for clearance checks against walls, columns, or obstacles.

The 8.1m total height on this single girder gantry crane is matched to workshops or yards with a clearance requirement around 8.5m. The 8.1m height comprises:

• Ground beam: approximately 0.3-0.4m
• A-frame legs: approximately 6.5-7.0m
• Main girder: approximately 0.6-0.8m
• Overhead clearance: remaining height for trolley, hoist, and hook block

The 8.1m total height leaves approximately 0.4m of clearance under an 8.5m ceiling — sufficient for structural deflection, thermal movement, and maintenance access. If your facility has a lower clearance, the total height must be reduced, which in turn may reduce the lifting height or require a different hoist configuration.

A single girder gantry crane with NR European hoist is chosen for this compact 5t configuration because:

• Light deadweight: The single girder design reduces overall crane weight, allowing lighter rail and foundation
• Compact structure: The A-frame design with single girder minimizes the crane footprint and total height
• NR European hoist: Compact low-headroom hoist maximizes hook lift within the 8.1m total height
• Lower cost than double girder: For 5t capacity, a single girder is more economical than a double girder gantry crane
• Easier installation: Lighter components mean faster installation and lower erection cost
• Sufficient for M5 duty: Single girder covers 5t capacity at M5 duty for standard indoor/outdoor yard operations

For higher capacity (above 10t), higher duty class (M6+), or more demanding applications, a double girder gantry crane would be required.

Five numbers on this single girder gantry crane drawing must match your yard, or the crane will not fit or operate correctly:

If any of these five differ from your yard, tell Yuantai before ordering — each change affects price and lead time on the single girder gantry crane.

P22 rail is specified for this single girder gantry crane because:

• Light wheel load: The 5t capacity and single girder design produce a light wheel load, well within P22 rail capacity
• Cost efficiency: P22 rail is more economical than P30 or heavier rail sections
• Sufficient for the span: At 7.795m span, the wheel load is manageable on P22 rail
• Standard availability: P22 is a common rail section, easy to source and install
• Easy rail foundation: P22 rail requires a lighter foundation than heavier rail sections

Do not substitute a lighter rail without recalculating the wheel load and dynamic forces. P22 is the minimum recommended rail for this 5t single girder gantry crane.

Yes — this single girder gantry crane is suitable for both indoor and outdoor yard use. The A-frame gantry design with ground rails is inherently suitable for outdoor environments because:

• Ground rail operation: The crane travels on ground rails, which are not affected by building structure limitations
• Open structure: The A-frame design allows air movement and does not trap moisture
• Simple electrical: The electrical components can be specified with outdoor-rated enclosures (IP55+) if required

For high-wind or typhoon-exposed sites, additional anti-wind rail clamps and anchoring devices must be added. Tell Yuantai your wind load requirement at the enquiry stage for the appropriate outdoor protection package.

To avoid surprises at installation, these items are outside the single girder gantry crane supply scope unless you specifically add them:

• P22 ground rail and rail fasteners
• Rail foundation (concrete beams or pads)
• Site power supply up to the crane isolator
• Erection crane and site lifting equipment
• Local electrical connection and permits
• Anti-wind anchoring devices (if outdoor in windy area)

Yuantai can supply rails, anchor sets, and foundation load drawings as optional items — just state this in your enquiry so they appear in the quotation.

Send these nine items and Yuantai will issue a free custom single girder gantry crane CAD drawing, 3D model, and proposal within 24 hours:

1. Required lifting capacity (t) — e.g., 5t
2. Rail gauge / span (m) — e.g., S7.795m
3. Total width constraint (m) — e.g., 8.795m available width
4. Total height constraint (m) — e.g., 8.1m maximum height
5. Required lifting height (m)
6. Rail length / travel distance (m)
7. Power supply (V / Hz / Ph)
8. Indoor or outdoor environment
9. Control preference: pendant, wireless, or both

The more complete the list, the faster and more accurate the single girder gantry crane drawing, 3D model, and quote.

This published single girder gantry crane drawing and 3D rendering are a free technical reference — you may use them to plan your yard and check fit. A project-specific single girder gantry crane GA drawing and 3D model are also free for standard configurations. A design fee may apply only for complex site conditions, non-standard spans, or specialized customization engineering.
