Overview
Single girder overhead crane is an universal overhead bridge crane. Yuantai brand single girder overhead cranes include newly designed European single girder overhead crane(HD type) and Traditional single girder hoist overhead crane(LD type). Usually, the main beam is a box-type main beam structure, which is more sturdy and durable.
These two types of single-girder bridge cranes adopt different design standards, and the configuration, performance and cost are also different. However, they can all meet the needs of use in general scenarios, such as lifting materials in factory, warehouses, processing workshops and other environments.

Function
1. Multi-speed Adjustment Function
The crane is equipped with both low-speed and high-speed modes. Operators can switch between speeds depending on the nature of the load and the precision required. Low-speed mode is suitable for delicate positioning, while high-speed mode supports routine transport tasks to improve overall efficiency.
2. Electric Anti-Sway
The electric anti-sway system helps reduce load swing during motion. It does so by actively adjusting the crane's movement based on real-time feedback. This feature supports accurate load placement and reduces the need for manual correction, especially when working with tall or suspended items.
3. Precise Positioning
The crane slows down automatically as the load nears the target point. This reduces momentum and allows operators to position the load more accurately. The feature helps prevent overshooting and limits the risk of misalignment, which is essential for assembly or storage operations that require close tolerances.
Main Components
A single-beam bridge crane consists of several structural and mechanical parts that work together to move loads efficiently. Among these, the main beam, end beam, and hoist are core components.

The main beam spans across the working area and serves as the primary structural element supporting the hoist and trolley. It is usually constructed from either rolled I-beams or welded box sections, depending on load requirements and design specifications. The material selection and structural profile ensure the beam has adequate stiffness to resist bending and deflection during operation. Proper beam alignment and reinforcement are critical to maintaining load stability and consistent hoist travel.
The end beam is positioned at both ends of the main beam and plays a structural and functional role. It connects the main beam to the traveling mechanism and supports the wheels that engage with the runway rails. This configuration enables the crane to move horizontally along the working area. The end beam is designed to maintain alignment and load balance during travel. It also accommodates the drive motors and gearboxes that power the crane's movement across the span.
