Single Girder EOT Crane

At BHT India, Single Girder EOT Cranes are designed to deliver efficient material handling in facilities where floor space, headroom, or structural load capacity is a concern. This crane type uses a single bridge girder mounted on end carriages, with the hoist operating either on the bottom flange or the top, depending on application needs. The lightweight configuration supports smooth lifting operations while minimizing the load on building infrastructure.

Single Girder Cranes are preferred in industries looking for a balance between operational performance and infrastructure efficiency. Their relatively low self-weight allows for simpler civil foundations and smaller column sections—making them ideal for both new installations and existing industrial sheds with limited structural headroom. Installation timelines are shorter due to the simplified design, and freight costs are significantly lower compared to heavier double girder setups.

In sectors like fabrication, general manufacturing, warehousing, and assembly units, single girder cranes enable precise load handling while keeping energy consumption, maintenance effort, and project cost under control.

Key Features and Advantages

  • Load capacity options available from 0.5 Ton to 25 Ton, suited for light to medium-duty operations
  • Space-optimized structure with higher hook approach and reduced headroom requirement
  • Construction allows simplified gantry girders, lighter columns, and lower foundation loads
  • Freight costs remain economical due to lighter components
  • Faster installation and commissioning due to modular structure
  • Designed for industrial environments with exposure to dust, heat, fumes, and continuous usage
  • Complies with IS 3177, IS 807, and other relevant safety and design standards

Single Girder Box Type EOT Crane Overview
BHT India offers single girder box type EOT (Electric Overhead Traveling) cranes engineered for efficient material handling across a wide range of light to medium-duty industrial environments. These cranes are built using a rectangular box-type girder design that ensures rigidity, reduced deflection under load, and long-term operational reliability. Each unit is designed to balance structural strength and material efficiency—ideal for production shops, machine assembly units, warehouses, and general industrial applications where lifting demands range between 1 to 20 tons. The crane operates on an overhead runway system, with a wire rope or chain hoist mounted on the lower flange of the girder, ensuring smooth cross-travel. The entire bridge travels along runway rails supported by the building structure. BHT India supplies both manual pendant-operated and remote-controlled variants, offering flexibility in control and safe handling.
Key Features
Lifting Capacity Standard range from 1 Ton to 20 Ton (custom capacities available)
Box-Type Girder Construction Welded steel sections provide high strength-to-weight ratio
Compact Profile Ideal for facilities with low headroom or restricted floor space
Integrated Hoisting Options Compatible with wire rope or chain hoists
Efficient Controls Pendant or radio remote-based operation for safe and ergonomic use
Maintenance-Friendly Design Simplified structure with easy access for inspection and servicing
Applications
  • General manufacturing and fabrication workshops
  • Engineering and repair units
  • Component handling in assembly lines
  • Warehouse loading/unloading zones
  • Steel, casting, and light forging operations
Compliance & Support
Built to comply with IS standards, each crane is tested for structural integrity, alignment precision, and safety compliance. BHT India supports turnkey execution—right from design, fabrication, and installation to commissioning and AMC support.

Single Girder I-Beam Type EOT Crane Overview
The Single Girder I-Beam Type Electric Overhead Traveling (EOT) Crane is one of the most common and cost-effective lifting solutions for light to medium-duty material handling. Known for its simple yet efficient structure, it uses a single steel I-beam as the main bridge girder, making it lighter and more economical compared to double girder cranes. These cranes are widely used in industrial environments where moderate load capacities and smooth handling are required.
Design & Structure
This crane is built around a single I-beam (or W-beam), which supports the hoist and trolley system. The hoist can be a wire rope or chain type, traveling along the bottom flange of the I-beam to lift and lower loads. Depending on the space and operational needs, it can be designed in:
  • Top-running configuration: Runs on rails mounted above the runway beams, offering a better lifting height.
  • Underhung configuration: Suspended from the bottom flange of the runway beams, ideal for low headroom or integration with existing building structures.
Capacity & Performance
Single Girder I-Beam Cranes typically handle capacities from 0.5 ton to 20 tons, with various span and lift height options. They offer smooth, precise movement and can be operated via pendant control or radio remote for operator convenience.
Key Advantages
Cost-Effective Lower manufacturing, installation, and maintenance costs compared to double girder designs.
Lightweight Design Puts less stress on building structures, often avoiding extra support requirements.
Space-Saving Compact structure allows efficient use of available floor space and headroom.
Ease of Installation Simpler construction means quicker setup and commissioning.
Industries & Applications
The Single Girder I-Beam Type EOT Crane finds applications across multiple sectors, including:
  • Workshops & Warehouses – Moving raw materials, tools, and finished goods.
  • Manufacturing & Assembly Units – Handling components, machinery, and assembly line tasks.
  • Maintenance Facilities – Positioning and lifting equipment during repairs.
  • General Industrial Use – Any operation requiring safe and efficient movement of moderate loads.
Limitations to Consider
While ideal for lighter tasks, these cranes are not suited for very heavy lifting or extremely wide spans. The open I-beam structure also offers less torsional resistance than a box girder, making it less suitable for certain heavy-duty or high-precision applications.
