Single girder overhead cranes use one main bridge girder with a hoist trolley running along the girder. They are often used in workshops, warehouses, assembly lines, and general manufacturing facilities where the lifting requirements suit a single-girder design. The final configuration depends on the load, span, lifting height, duty class, and available building clearance.

Typical selection parameters:

• Lifting capacity: commonly 0.5–20 ton
• Lifting height: selected to match the required hook travel and available headroom
• Crane span: commonly 7.5–31.5 m, depending on the structure and design
• Hoist arrangement: wire rope hoist or another compatible lifting unit, depending on the application
• Key considerations: girder deflection, wheel loads, hook approach, runway capacity, and duty class

When comparing the videos, look at how the hoist is mounted, how much space is available below the girder, and how the crane fits the building. Single girder cranes are a practical option for many general lifting jobs, but the design must still meet the required load capacity, operating duty, and structural limits.

A freestanding overhead crane uses its own columns and runway beams, so it does not have to rely on the building structure for support. It is a practical choice for workshops and production areas that need a dedicated lifting zone.

• Typical capacity: 0.25–10 ton
• Lifting height: About 3–6 m
• Typical span: About 3–10 m
• Hoist options: Electric chain hoist or wire rope hoist
• Loads handled: Motors, machine parts, tools and assemblies
• Common applications: Machine shops, assembly stations and production workshops
• Check before ordering: Floor and foundation capacity, column spacing, runway length and available headroom

Low headroom overhead cranes are designed for buildings where the distance between the runway and the roof is limited. A compact low profile electric hoist and lifting mechanism help make better use of the available height, leaving more room for lifting loads. These low headroom overhead cranes are commonly used in workshops, warehouses, and production areas where existing building dimensions restrict crane installation.

Typical selection parameters:

• Lifting capacity: About 0.5–32 ton
• Lifting height: determined by the available building height and required hook travel
• Crane span: commonly 7.5–31.5 m, subject to runway and building design
• Key considerations: minimum hook approach, headroom, hoist arrangement, duty class, and maintenance access

When reviewing these videos, pay attention to the distance between the hook and the crane girder, the hoist position, and the available lifting height. These details help determine whether a low headroom design can meet the requirements of your building.

• Typical capacity: About 1–50 ton
• Lifting height: About 3–15 m
• Typical span: About 5–30 m
• Hoisting arrangement: Electric wire rope hoist or trolley-mounted hoist
• Loads handled: Steel sections, machine components, pallets and production materials
• Common applications: Workshops and factories with one available elevated runway
• Check before ordering: Runway capacity, floor rail foundation, leg clearance and travel coordination

Rubber-tyred gantry cranes travel on wheels rather than fixed rails, making them useful for moving containers around yards and terminals. Their layout and lifting arrangement depend on the number of container rows and the required stacking height.

• Typical capacity: About 30–65 ton under a container spreader for common container-handling designs
• Lifting height: Often around 12–18 m of container-lifting travel, depending on the design
• Typical span: About 20–30 m across container rows
• Travel system: Rubber tyres with steering and travel drives
• Loads handled: Shipping containers and intermodal cargo
• Common applications: Container terminals, logistics yards and intermodal facilities
• Check before ordering: Container layout, stacking height, spreader, ground bearing capacity and travel requirements

Rail-mounted gantry cranes run on fixed rails and are often used where container handling follows a defined yard or terminal layout. The rail gauge, span and lifting height are selected to match the required container rows and stacking arrangement.

• Typical capacity: About 30–65 ton under a container spreader for common container-handling designs
• Lifting height: About 12–20 m, depending on stacking requirements
• Typical span: About 20–50 m for container-yard systems
• Travel system: Rail-mounted gantry with powered trolley and spreader
• Loads handled: Shipping containers and intermodal cargo
• Common applications: Container terminals, rail freight yards and logistics hubs
