How to choose a suitable single girder overhead crane? Jinghe Crane Professional Purchase Guide

Single girder overhead cranes are key handling equipment in the industrial field and are widely used in workshops, warehouses, docks, and other scenes. However, facing the numerous brands and models on the market, how to choose a single girder overhead crane that meets production needs and has cost-effectiveness?

1. Clarify the core needs: technical parameter matching of single girder overhead cranes

① Load capacity and working level

  • The rated load of a single girder overhead crane is the primary consideration. The model needs to be selected according to the maximum weight of the materials handled daily, and a safety margin of 10%-20% should be reserved. For example, Jinghe Crane provides a variety of configurations from 1 ton to 32 tons, covering light loads to medium and heavy loads.

  • In addition, attention should be paid to the working level (FEM standard): frequent use or high-intensity operation scenes (such as steel mills) should choose high-durability models of M5-M6 level, while ordinary workshops (M3-M4 level) can reduce configuration costs.

② Span and lifting height

  • Span:The span of a single girder overhead crane needs to match the spacing between the columns of the plant. Jinghe's technical support team can provide free measurement services to ensure accurate installation of the track.

  • Lifting height: Determined according to the material stacking height or equipment access requirements, the conventional lifting height is 6-30 meters. Jinghe cranes support customized design to avoid secondary modifications caused by "insufficient height".

③ Operation speed and control system

The requirements for operation speed in different scenarios vary significantly:

  • Precision assembly workshop: frequency conversion controlled single girder overhead cranes that require low-speed and stable operation.

  • Logistics transit warehouse: models with high-speed operation + anti-sway technology can be selected to improve efficiency.
    Jinghe's entire series of products are equipped with stepless speed regulation as standard and can be upgraded with an intelligent anti-collision system to greatly reduce operational risks.

2. Environmental adaptability: scenario selection of single girder overhead cranes

① Indoor vs outdoor environment

  • Indoor workshop: single girder overhead cranes with lightweight design are preferred, such as Jinghe LDA electric single girder overhead cranes, which reduce their own weight by 15% and reduce the pressure on the factory building.

  • Outdoor docks/open-air venues: IP54 protection grade motors and anti-corrosion coatings are required. Jinghe cranes use galvanized steel wire ropes + weathering steel main beams to adapt to extreme environments of -20℃ to 50℃.

② Special industry requirements

Food/pharmaceutical industry: Clean single girder overhead cranes that meet hygiene standards are required. Jinghe provides stainless steel material + dust cover design to avoid pollution risks.

Inflammable and explosive environments: Explosion-proof motors and Ex-certified electrical components are selected. Jinghe has passed ATEX explosion-proof certification and serves many chemical companies.

3. Core value of brand and service: Jinghe Crane

① Technical R&D strength

Jinghe Crane has more than 20 years of industry experience and has obtained 36 technical patents. Its single girder overhead crane adopts European lightweight design. Compared with traditional models:

  • The main beam weight is reduced by 20%, and energy consumption is reduced by 15%

  • The lifting height is increased by 10%, and the space utilization rate is improved

  • Modular structural design saves 30% of maintenance costs
