\r\n
\r\n

Single Girder Cranes are the most popular type of overhead crane, offering a practical and cost-effective solution for everyday lifting duties up to 28 tons, indoors or outdoors. Their efficient design typically produces lower wheel loads, reducing runway and building structural demands while improving overall installation value.<\/p>\n

Street Crane delivers premier UK-engineered Single Girder Cranes, maintained in local US warehouses for rapid nationwide shipping.<\/p>\n

Designed for reliable long-term operation, Street single girder cranes deliver smooth travel, precise load handling, and dependable day-to-day performance across a wide range of industrial applications. Every crane is specified around the customer\u2019s building, duty, and operational requirements to ensure the right balance of performance, durability, and cost efficiency.<\/p>\n

For higher capacities or more demanding duty cycles, we specify our\u00a0ZX wire rope hoist<\/a>\u00a0technology. Engineered for long service life and reduced maintenance, the ZX hoist features enclosed oil-immersed gearing, a braked gearbox design, and a trolley arrangement that eliminates exposed drive gears and minimizes wheel flange wear.<\/p>\n

For lighter lifting duties or where a compact, economical solution is preferred, Street can also supply LX single girder top-running cranes up to 5 tons using an electric chain hoist<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Single girder overhead cranes provide dependable lifting for manufacturing, fabrication, warehousing, maintenance, and assembly operations. For heavier loads or increased hook height, explore our Where floor space must remain clear, our single girder underslung cranes provide a suspended solution running directly from the building structure.\u00a0 Single girder overhead cranes provide reliable lifting, typically up to 28 tons, for everyday industrial handling, with each system specified around your building and application. For heavier loads or improved hook height, explore our top running double girder overhead cranes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Why choose a Street single girder crane?<\/h2>\r\n
\r\n
\r\n Lower building demands: reduced wheel loads can mean less supporting steelwork and a more economical runway. <\/div>\r\n
\r\n Engineered reliability: ZX technology is built around proven mechanical design choices that reduce wear points and simplify inspection. <\/div>\r\n
\r\n Confident control: available with straightforward pendant\/radio control and advanced control using Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) for smooth, predictable handling where needed. <\/div>\r\n
\r\n Twin hoist and dual hoist systems on Single Girder Cranes deliver synchronised, stable lifting for long or awkward loads, ensuring balanced load distribution and smooth controlled turning. By coordinating two hoists, either independently or in coupled, load sharing mode these systems improve handling precision and enhance overall safety. <\/div>\r\n
\r\n Made to fit the job: specified around your span, headroom, duty cycle and working envelope so you get practical hook coverage and maintainable performance. <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n
