10 Ton Gantry Crane, Single Girder & Cantilever Design
Short Video Description
This video shows a 10 ton gantry crane for outdoor use with a single girder gantry crane design, suitable for steel yards, fabrication workshops, precast plants, machinery assembly and general outdoor material handling.
The 10 ton single girder gantry crane, also known as a single girder portal gantry crane or single girder Goliath crane, uses a welded main girder, A-frame gantry legs, electric wire rope hoist and ground-mounted rails. The crane can be supplied as a standard no-cantilever gantry crane, single cantilever gantry crane or double cantilever gantry crane according to the required hook coverage.
A 10 ton gantry crane with single cantilever extends the main girder beyond one side of the gantry legs. This provides additional hook reach for loading, unloading, truck handling and material storage outside the main crane span. The cantilever length is designed together with the span, lifting height, wheel load, girder deflection and foundation requirements.
For a 10 ton outdoor gantry crane, the main technical data include lifting capacity, span, lifting height, cantilever length, rail gauge, travelling distance, duty class, wheel load, power supply and working environment. These parameters are reviewed together before the final crane design and quotation.

10 Ton Gantry Crane: No Cantilever vs Single Cantilever vs Double Cantilever
The main difference between these single girder gantry crane configurations is the hook working area outside the gantry legs. The correct design depends on where loads need to be picked up, moved and placed.
| Gantry Crane Design | Hook Coverage | Typical Application |
|---|---|---|
| Standard No-Cantilever Gantry Crane | Hook works mainly between the gantry legs | Storage yards, workshops and production areas where loads remain within the main crane span |
| 10 Ton Single Cantilever Gantry Crane | Hook extends beyond one side of the gantry legs | One-sided loading, unloading, truck handling and building-side material handling |
| Double Cantilever Gantry Crane | Hook extends beyond both sides | Outdoor yards requiring hook coverage and material handling on both sides of the main crane span |
For a 10 ton single girder gantry crane with cantilever, the cantilever length should not be selected only according to the required hook reach. It also affects girder bending, deflection, wheel reactions and foundation loads. Yuantai engineers therefore consider the cantilever, span, lifting capacity and supporting structure together rather than treating the cantilever as an independent dimension.
FAQ
Common questions about 10 ton gantry cranes, single girder portal cranes, single cantilever designs and Yuantai Crane engineering.
1. What is a 10 ton single girder gantry crane?
A 10 ton single girder gantry crane is a rail-mounted gantry crane with one main girder and a 10 ton rated lifting capacity. It is commonly used for outdoor material handling where a building overhead crane runway is not available.
Yuantai Crane designs the girder, gantry legs, hoist, travelling mechanism, wheels and rail system according to the required span, lifting height, duty class, wheel load and working conditions rather than using one standard configuration for every project.
2. What is a single girder portal gantry crane?
A single girder portal gantry crane is a single girder gantry crane supported by two gantry legs and travelling on ground rails. It is suitable for outdoor yards, fabrication workshops, construction sites, storage areas and general material handling.
For Yuantai projects, the portal frame and travelling system are engineered according to the required crane span, rail gauge, wheel load, travelling distance and site layout. This allows the 10 ton single girder portal gantry crane to be adapted to different outdoor working areas.
3. What is the difference between a no-cantilever and single cantilever gantry crane?
A no-cantilever gantry crane keeps the main hook working area mainly between the gantry legs. A single cantilever gantry crane extends the girder and hook working area beyond one side, providing additional reach for loading and unloading.
Yuantai Crane selects the cantilever arrangement according to the actual hook position required by the customer. For a single cantilever design, the additional reach is checked together with girder strength, deflection, wheel reactions and foundation loads.
4. How do I choose a 10 ton gantry crane with single cantilever?
Choose a 10 ton single cantilever gantry crane when the hook needs to reach beyond one side of the main crane span. First determine the required loading or unloading position and the distance from the gantry leg to the hook position.
Yuantai engineers then check the required cantilever length, girder strength, deflection, wheel load, rail system and foundation requirements. This is particularly important when the cantilever is used for truck loading, outdoor storage or building-side material handling.
5. What technical data is needed for a 10 ton gantry crane quotation?
For a 10 ton gantry crane quotation, provide the lifting capacity, span, lifting height, cantilever length, rail gauge, travelling distance, duty class, power supply and site layout.
Yuantai Crane uses these project parameters to determine the main girder, gantry legs, hoisting system, travelling mechanism, wheels, rails and electrical configuration. For a cantilever crane, a simple site drawing showing the required hook positions can help the engineering team select the correct configuration.
6. What is the typical span and lifting height of a 10 ton gantry crane?
A typical 10 ton single girder gantry crane can be designed with a 7.5–35 m span and 6–20 m lifting height. The final dimensions depend on the working area, required hook height, duty class, wheel load and structural requirements.
Yuantai Crane does not select the span and lifting height independently. The engineering design considers the complete crane geometry, including girder deflection, gantry leg stability, wheel loads, rail gauge and the customer's actual operating conditions.
7. What experience does Yuantai Crane have with 10 ton gantry crane projects?
Yuantai Crane has engineering and manufacturing experience in single girder gantry cranes, portal gantry cranes, Goliath cranes and cantilever gantry crane configurations. For a 10 ton project, the engineering work covers the main girder, gantry legs, end carriages, hoisting equipment, travelling mechanism, wheels, rails and related foundation loads.
The same engineering approach is applied when customers require a 10 ton outdoor gantry crane, single girder portal gantry crane, no-cantilever gantry crane or single cantilever gantry crane. The final configuration is based on the customer's lifting requirements, site dimensions, duty class, operating environment and required hook coverage.
