What Is a Single Girder Gantry Crane and When Should You Use One?

A single girder gantry crane is a popular lifting solution for light to medium-duty applications. Featuring a single beam as the main load-bearing structure, this crane type is ideal for outdoor yards, manufacturing workshops, and material handling warehouses.

At Nybon Machinery, we specialize in producing custom single girder gantry cranes tailored to different industries and environments.

What Is a Single Girder Gantry Crane?

A single girder gantry crane consists of:

  • One main girder (beam)

  • Two supporting legs

  • End carriages with wheels (rail or rubber-tyred)

  • Electric hoist (usually a wire rope or chain hoist)

  • Optional control system (remote, pendant, or cabin)

It moves either along ground rails or via rubber wheels, offering excellent flexibility and lower overall weight compared to double girder models.

Key Benefits of Single Girder Gantry Cranes

1. Cost-Effective Solution

Single girder designs use less material and simpler components, making them more affordable and easier to install than double girder alternatives.

Nybon offers gantry cranes with lifting capacities from 5 tons to 200+ tons, and customizable spans based on your operational layout.

2. Lightweight and Easy to Maintain

The lighter structure reduces load stress on the runway or ground rails. Maintenance is also easier, especially when using a standard hoist trolley.

3. Flexible for Indoor and Outdoor Use

These cranes work well in open yards, construction sites, storage facilities, and assembly lines, especially when no permanent building structure is available.

4. Fast Delivery and Installation

At Nybon, most single girder gantry cranes can be produced within a few weeks and delivered ready for quick assembly.
