General purpose overhead crane
Single Girder Overhead Crane
Product Overview
The Weiyuan Single Girder Overhead Crane is a versatile, reliable, and highly efficient lifting solution, available in a range of capacities from 1 ton to 10 tons. This crane, also known as an EOT (Electric Overhead Travelling) crane, is the workhorse of modern industry, perfectly suited for workshops, warehouses, assembly lines, and light manufacturing facilities. Its streamlined single-beam design makes it a cost-effective choice that is lightweight, easy to install, and simple to maintain. Paired with a high-performance electric hoist, this crane is engineered to boost productivity, enhance workplace safety, and provide dependable material handling for your everyday lifting needs.
Product Advantages
Cost-Effective and Efficient Design
The single-girder structure is optimized to provide maximum strength with minimal material, making it an exceptionally economical choice for most light to medium-duty applications. Its lighter overall weight reduces the load on your building’s support structure, which can significantly lower installation costs and lead to a faster return on investment.
Durable and Reliable Construction
Built from high-quality Q235B or Q345B steel, the main beam and end carriages are engineered for durability and a long service life. The entire structure is designed with a high safety factor, ensuring stable and reliable performance even under continuous use, which minimizes downtime and maintenance costs.
Optimized Workspace and Lifting Height
By operating on elevated runway beams, this crane keeps your workshop floor completely free of obstructions, maximizing usable space. We offer both standard and low-headroom hoist configurations to ensure you get the maximum possible lifting height, which is a critical advantage in buildings with limited vertical clearance.
Smooth, Precise, and Safe Operation
Equipped with a high-performance electric hoist and reliable travel motors, the crane provides smooth and stable movement. For applications requiring greater precision, optional Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) offer stepless speed control, which reduces load swing, allows for gentle acceleration and deceleration, and enhances overall safety.
Easy Installation and Low Maintenance
Featuring a simple, modular design and standardized, high-quality components, the Weiyuan single girder crane is straightforward to install and requires minimal maintenance. Easy access to all key components, such as the hoist, motors, and electrical panel, simplifies routine inspections and servicing.
Application Scenarios
General Workshops and Fabrication Shops
An ideal lifting solution for machine shops, steel fabrication, and repair workshops. It effortlessly handles raw materials, heavy workpieces, and finished goods, moving them safely and efficiently between workstations.
Warehousing and Logistics Centers
Perfect for loading and unloading trucks, organizing heavy inventory, and moving goods within a storage facility. It provides a more efficient and safer alternative to forklifts for many heavy lifting tasks.
Manufacturing and Assembly Lines
Provides critical support for assembly processes, allowing for the precise positioning of components and the transfer of sub-assemblies to the next station. It helps to accelerate production cycles and reduce manual handling.
Material Stock Yards
Excellent for handling material stocks in both indoor and covered outdoor environments. It can be used to lift and move pipes, bars, plates, and other materials with ease.

FAQ
Q: What information do I need to provide to get an accurate quotation?
A: To give you the best solution and price, please tell us: 1) Required lifting capacity (e.g., 5 ton), 2) Crane span (the width of your workshop), 3) Lifting height (floor to hook), and 4) Your power supply details (Voltage, Hz, Phase).
Q: Should I choose a single-speed or double-speed hoist?
A: A single-speed hoist is a simple, cost-effective choice for general lifting. A double-speed hoist is highly recommended for applications where you need more precision. The slow speed allows you to gently position loads, reducing the risk of impact and damage.
Q: Can this crane be installed in my existing building?
A: Yes, in most cases. A key step is to have a qualified engineer verify that your building’s columns and foundation can support the load from the crane runway. We will provide all the necessary crane wheel load data for this structural evaluation.
Q: What is the difference between pendant control and wireless remote control?
A: Pendant control is a handheld controller connected to the hoist by a cable. A wireless remote control allows the operator to control the crane from a distance, offering better visibility of the load and greater freedom of movement, which can improve safety.
Q: How does Weiyuan ensure the quality of its overhead cranes?
A: With nearly 40 years of manufacturing experience, Weiyuan produces all cranes under a strict ISO-certified quality control system. Every crane is designed by our professional engineers, built with certified steel, and equipped with reliable components. A full load test is performed before shipment to guarantee it meets our high standards for safety, durability, and performance.
