A Single Girder EOT Crane is a versatile and cost-effective solution for lifting and transporting heavy loads in various industrial settings. Its design allows for efficient use of space and ease of installation, making it suitable for buildings with low ceilings. Regular maintenance and safety inspections are crucial to ensure the crane operates reliably and safely. With proper use and care, a Single Girder EOT Crane can significantly enhance productivity and safety in material handling operations.

Key Components of a Single Girder EOT Crane

Bridge Girder:

• The main horizontal beam that spans the width of the working area. It supports the trolley and hoist.
• Typically made from rolled steel or fabricated box sections for strength and durability.

End Trucks:

• Located at each end of the bridge girder, these components support the girder and allow it to travel along the runway beams.
• Equipped with wheels or rollers that run on the rails mounted on the runway beams.

Runway Beams:

• Fixed beams that run parallel to each other, supporting the end trucks and allowing the crane to move along the length of the building.
• Typically mounted on the building columns or a freestanding structure.

Hoist and Trolley:

• The hoist is the lifting device, usually an electric hoist, which can be chain or wire rope type.
• The trolley carries the hoist and moves horizontally along the bridge girder.

Control System:

• Can be pendant controls, wireless remote controls, or cabin controls.
• Allows the operator to control the movements of the crane, including lifting, lowering, and traveling.

Power Supply System:

• Provides electrical power to the crane, typically through a festoon system or conductor bars.
• Ensures continuous power delivery to the hoist and trolley as they move.

Features and Advantages

Cost-Effective:

• Generally less expensive to install and maintain compared to double girder cranes.

Compact Design:

• Requires less headroom and is suitable for buildings with low ceilings.

Ease of Installation:

• Simplified design makes it easier and quicker to install.

Flexibility:

• Can handle a wide range of lifting capacities and spans, typically up to 20 tons and spans up to 30 meters.

Safety:

• Equipped with safety features such as overload protection, emergency stop, and limit switches.
