Single Girder Underhung Bridge Crane + FEM Hoist
Ceilling Mounted Overhead Crane 0.5 -10 Ton

Motorized single girder underhung bridge crane or under running bridge crane are the same type of single girder overhead crane. With the underhung bridge cranes design, the end trucks / end carriages move on the bottom flange of the runway beam unlike the top running overhead travelling cranes. With anunderhung bridge crane, the runway beam is often attached and supported by the roof supporting structure, without the requirement of extra floor columns to support the runway. In this way, the underhung bridge crane can be advantageous if floor space and the requirement to reduce floor obstructions is a concern in the factory workshop or warehouse. An single girder underhung bridge crane may also be a good solution for workshops with sloped ceilings or with multiple crane systems.

Single girder underhung bridge cranes are typically adopted for lighter duty material handling with capacity to 10 ton or less. Our overhead Underhung cranes are designed to improve crane safety and reduce load cycle times during production in your workshops.

Parameters & specifications of NLX series single girder underslung crane

The NlX series single girder underhung bridge crane is a type of single girder overhead cranes, developed based on the European standards, FEM, DIN & ISO to meet the requirements of European customers. The lifting capacity of European single girder underslung crane is a type of overhead crane with lifting capacity from 1 to 10 ton and the working class is A5. The main parameters of European single girder underslung crane is shown for your reference in the following table. Customized underslung overhead crane is available.

• Lifting capacity of single girder underhung bridge crane:1ton, 2 ton, 3 ton, 5 ton, 10 ton
• Span of single girder underhung bridge crane:3-15 m
• Lifting height of single girder underhung bridge crane:3-100 m
• Working class of single girder underhung bridge crane:A3
• Supplied with European wire rope electric hoist or chain electric hoist

Compared with the LX single girder underhung bridge crane which is developed on the Chinese traditional single girder overhead crane, the European style underslung overhead cranes has the advantages of compact design, lighter deadweight, larger lifting height and elegant appearance, etc.

Features of single girder underhung bridge crane

European under running single girder crane is a light duty material handling craneswhich are attached to the roof of the workplace without floor columns, saving space and lowering cost. The general features of single girder overhead crane with under slung crane design are as following:

• Consistent quality , reliable and stable performance with benefits of overhead traveling crane design
• End truck / end carriage are designed with optimized structure.
• Rigid beam girders or welded box structure crane girders make load distribution optimal.
• Loads can be handled closely near the building walls with process crane design tailored to your applications,
• Attached to the roof structure without requirements of columns maximizing floor space
• Light duty single girder overhead crane designs with capacity around 10 ton or less.

Advantages & limitations of underhung bridge cranes

Due to the unique crane designs, the single girder underhung bridge cranes are with the following advantages and limitations.
Advantages:
The single girder underhung bridge cranes are attached and supported by a roof structure without supportive floor column, free the floor space, which are good solutions for warehouses and workshops where floor space is limited and helps to improve safety and productivity.
And also with the optimizing end approaches, the underslung overhead cranes can enable the monorail hoist to get closer to the end truck or end of the runway, making the loads handling close the wall possible and helping to make the most of facility space and
Limitations:
For being attached to the building roofs, the single girder underhung bridge cranes are limited in lifting capacity which is usually 1 ton, 2 ton, 3 ton, 5 ton or up to 10 tons at most.
Also, an evaluation of the structural strength of your facility's roof are required when thinking of buying an underhung bridge crane to confirm whether it has adequate strength and ability to withstand the weight that imposed by the overhead cranes and the loads lifted. If necessary, the supporting beams can be added to enable load handling with increased capacity.

Types of under running bridge cranes

underhung bridge crane also can be designed in to single girder crane and double girder crane designs, equpped with various types of crane hoists, hoist winch and hoist trolley, etc.

Single girder underhung bridge crane

Double girder underhung bridge crane

underhung bridge cranes are most commonly designed in a single girder overhead crane configuration with monorail trolley hoists for lighter loads handling with small capacity of 10 tons or less.Underslung cranes are also can be designed with double girder overhead crane configuration for higher capacities and supportive column can be added if necessary.which would be very expensive.

An under running single girder overhead crane can adopt a Underhung hoist and trolley which move across the bottom flange of the bridge beam. A double girder under running bridge crane can run the hoist trolley on the top or on the bottom of the bridge beams.
