Shyamo Engineers brings you cranes designed for top performance and reliability. Our Single Girder Cranes are built to improve your material handling tasks, offering strong lifting power and flexibility. Whether you’re in manufacturing, construction, or any industry that needs precise lifting and moving, our cranes are made to suit your needs perfectly.

 

Benefits Of Single Girder Cranes?

  • Optimal Load Capacity: Our single-girder cranes come in a variety of load capacities, ensuring you get the perfect fit for your specific needs. Whether you need a light-duty crane or a heavy-duty solution, our cranes can handle loads ranging from ½ tons to 25 tons with ease.
  • Space-Saving Design: Designed for efficiency, Single Girder Cranes take up less space than double girder cranes. With their higher headroom and compact footprint, our specially designed models are perfect for facilities with limited overhead space.
  • Cost-Effective Solution: Single girder cranes are a more economical choice compared to double girder cranes. Their lighter weight reduces the need for large foundations, gantry girders, and pillars, significantly cutting down the overall building cost.
  • Lower Freight Costs:Since single-girder cranes are lighter, freight costs are also reduced, making transportation more affordable.
  • Faster Deliveries:We understand the importance of time in your operations. That’s why Shyamo Engineers’ Single Girder Cranes are designed for quicker delivery, getting you up and running faster.

What is a Single Girder Overhead Crane?

single girder overhead crane is a material handling system comprising one horizontal bridge girder supported at both ends by end trucks that run on elevated runway rails. The electric wire rope hoist or chain hoist trolley travels along the bottom flange of this girder, enabling precise three-dimensional load movement throughout the workspace.

The overhead crane single girder design is the most widely adopted configuration in Indian industries, offering an ideal balance between structural economy and lifting performance. By utilising the underside of the girder as the trolley track, the design maximises available hook height within a given building clearance.

Single girder overhead cranes are manufactured to IS 3177 and FEM standards and are available in top-running and under-slung (under-hung) configurations, making them suitable for a broad spectrum of light-to-medium duty industrial applications where capacities up to 20 tonnes and spans up to 28 metres are required.

Key Features of Single Girder Overhead Cranes

Every single girder overhead crane we manufacture is built to deliver reliable performance, extended service life, and minimal maintenance demands.

 

Robust Box-Section Girder

Welded box-section or I-beam girder construction fabricated from IS 2062 structural steel, offering excellent stiffness-to-weight ratio with camber pre-set for long-span deflection control.

 

Precision Hoist Unit

Wire rope or chain hoist with helical gearbox, flame-proof or weatherproof motor options, and Class H insulation for continuous-duty reliability across harsh Indian industrial environments.

 

Variable Frequency Drive

Optional VFD on all motions enables smooth acceleration/deceleration, micro-speed positioning, and significant energy savings compared to conventional contactor-controlled drives.

 

Advanced Safety Systems

Overload protection relay, dual-circuit limit switches for upper and lower travel limits, anti-collision proximity sensors, and emergency stop integrated as standard across all models.

 

Smart Control Pendant

Ergonomic cable pendant with IP55 protection, clearly labelled push buttons, emergency stop mushroom head, and optional radio remote control for operator safety and flexibility.

 

Low Maintenance Design

Sealed-for-life end truck wheel bearings, centralised lubrication access points, and hot-dip galvanised or epoxy-coated runway components significantly reduce planned maintenance downtime.

Built to Your Needs: Available Customisation Options

  •  
  • Speeds range from 0.5 mpm to 15 mpm.
  • Single girder cranes are available with spans up to 30 meters, in single or split-length configurations.
