Single Girder Cranes

Capacities up to 25 tonnes

Single Girder Overhead Cranes: Our Most Popular Lifting Solution.

Street single girder overhead cranes are our most popular type of overhead crane as they provide the most cost-effective lifting solution for all capacities to 25 tonnes for indoor or outdoor applications. Our top running single girder solutions deliver the same levels of reliability and performance as all of our other cranes but the lower wheel loads of a single girder have lower building and structural support costs associated with them and therefore offer a more attractive price to performance ratio.

Depending on your application our single girder cranes incorporate either Street ZX electric wire rope hoists or our LX electric chain hoists at very low capacities or when an extra competitive solution is required.

Advantages of a Single Girder Crane?

Cost-Effective – Lower structural support requirements reduce overall building costs.
Reliable Performance – Engineered with the same high-quality components as our other crane systems.
Versatile Applications – Suitable for warehouses, manufacturing plants, and outdoor locations.
Optimised Wheel Loads – Lower wheel loads minimise stress on the building structure, making it a more economical choice.

In summary, choosing a single girder crane over a double girder crane offers cost-effective solutions, space efficiency, simpler installation and maintenance, and versatile applications. Trust Street Crane to provide reliable single girder cranes that meet your specific needs and enhance your operational efficiency.

Single Girder Cranes FAQs

What is a top running single girder crane, and where is it typically used?

A top running single girder crane is an overhead travelling crane that runs on runway rails and uses one main beam (girder) to carry the hoist and trolley. It’s a popular, practical choice across general industry because it delivers dependable handling without overcomplicating the crane structure.

Single girder cranes are commonly specified for workshops, fabrication, general manufacturing and multi-crane environments, where you want efficient coverage, straightforward operation and sensible lifecycle costs. They can also be engineered for outdoor use, provided the specification reflects exposure, corrosion risk, temperature, wind considerations, duty cycle and maintenance access.

What capacities are available, and how do ZX and LX fit into the range?

Street’s top running single girder range covers all capacities up to 25 tonnes with ZX electric wire rope hoists, and up to 5 tonnes with LX electric chain hoists where a compact, extra-competitive solution is the right fit.

In simple terms, ZX is typically chosen where the duty is more demanding, lifts are higher, or the capacity and performance requirements point towards wire rope. LX is often ideal for lower capacities and lighter duty where simplicity and value are key. We’ll always match the hoist to your real duty cycle and working envelope, not just the headline capacity.
