Double Girder Overhead Crane

What Is a Double Girder Overhead Crane?

It is a large overhead crane(кран мостовой) that has two girders. It is often used in place of gantry cranes, where their use would be impractical. It is typically used indoors because it needs to be attached to the interior structure of the building for operations.

It is therefore different from the gantry crane because a gantry crane has an overhead bridge that is supported by its own frame. The double girder overhead crane comes in different lifting capacities, from 5 to 800 tons. Here are the main components of a double girder crane:

Bridge beam – a non-mobile structure that supports the movable travelling system.

End Trucks – They are connected to both ends of the bridge. They use wheels to carry it along the runways. The runways hold the hoist and trolley.

Crane travelling system – the mobile system on which the winch trolley is hoisted, after which it travels on the bridge beam to carry goods of up to 800 tons.

Winch trolley – the lifting and cross-travel mechanism. It normally has wheels, reducers brakes, a motor, wire rope, and a drum.

Support system – Most times, this type of crane is mounted onto a building. If not, it needs columns built into it to support the sturdy load.

Electrical panel – Power is supplied by a slide wire or cable to provide the system with energy.

Cabin control – usually below the girder for the operator to control the crane. It comes with control units, switches, and joysticks.
