Single Girder Gantry Crane

A single girder gantry crane is a gantry crane with a single girder/beam structure. The lifting mechanism is usually a wire rope hoist traveling on the single girder, and the crane traveling on the rail track fixed on the ground/floor.These are laterally unsupported beams provided in industrial buildings to carry cranes. These are supposed to carry the following loads due to moving crane: 1) vertical loads or (gravity load) 2) lateral loads (produced due to jerk experienced while loading, unloading, and movement of the cranes)A gantry crane is a type of overhead crane that uses legs to support the bridge, trolley, and hoist. These legs travel on along the ground on wheels or ride on rails implanted in the ground. A gantry crane is typically used for outdoor applications or for lifting capability below existing overhead bridge crane systems.
