Gantry crane
Weiyuan BMH Type Single Girder Semi-Gantry Crane
Product Overview
The Weiyuan BMH Type Single Girder Semi-Gantry Crane offers a smart and cost-effective lifting solution for facilities where a full gantry system is unnecessary or impossible to install. This hybrid design features one leg that travels on a ground-level rail and another end that runs along an elevated runway beam, often attached to the building’s structure. Paired with a reliable electric hoist, this crane provides exceptional stability and efficiency for indoor and outdoor applications, making it a versatile workhorse for workshops, warehouses, and yards that need to maximize floor space.
Product Advantages
Cost-Effective and Space-Saving Design
The key advantage of the semi-gantry crane is its intelligent use of existing infrastructure. By using a building’s support column for one side of the runway, you save on the material and installation costs of a second leg and ground rail. This design also frees up valuable floor space, providing more operational clearance on one side of the working area for vehicle traffic or material storage.
Flexible Indoor and Outdoor Operation
This crane is a highly adaptable solution for both indoor and outdoor environments. Inside a workshop, it can service one side of a bay without obstructing the entire floor. Outdoors, it can be installed alongside a building to handle loading and unloading tasks, providing targeted lifting power exactly where you need it without the footprint of a full gantry crane.
Stable and Reliable Performance
Engineered for an A3-A5 work duty, the BMH semi-gantry crane is built for consistent, reliable performance in light to medium-duty applications. The single girder, constructed from high-strength Q235B/Q345B steel, provides a solid and steady platform for the electric wire rope hoist. This simple and compact structure ensures steady, dependable lifts day in and day out.
Customized to Your Specifications
We build our cranes to match your exact operational needs. The BMH model is fully customizable, with lifting capacities ranging from 1 to 16 tons. We will work with you to define the perfect span, lifting height, and control method—whether a wireless remote for flexibility or a pendant control for simplicity—to create a lifting solution that integrates seamlessly into your workflow.
Application Scenarios
- Workshops and Manufacturing: Ideal for lifting raw materials or finished products from a building entrance to a workstation without covering the entire workshop floor.
- Loading and Unloading Docks: Perfect for outdoor use alongside a building to load and unload trucks and transport materials to and from storage.
- Machinery Repair Shops: Provides the flexibility to lift heavy components like engines or machine parts in a specific area of the shop.
- Storage Yards: An excellent solution for handling materials stored adjacent to a building, providing efficient lifting coverage for a dedicated zone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the main advantage of a semi-gantry crane over a full gantry crane?
A: The main advantage is saving space and cost. A semi-gantry crane only has support legs on one side, while the other side runs on a wall-mounted rail. This reduces the crane’s footprint on the floor and saves the cost of a full set of legs and a ground rail, making it a very economical choice for certain layouts.
Q: Can a semi-gantry crane be installed outdoors?
A: Yes, absolutely. The BMH model is well-suited for outdoor applications, especially when operating alongside a building. For outdoor use, we add extra protective measures like rain covers for the hoist and electrical components and use a durable, weather-resistant paint finish.
Q: Can this crane be installed inside my existing workshop?
A: Yes, the semi-gantry design is ideal for many existing workshops. We can mount the elevated runway rail directly onto your building’s existing support columns, provided they have the required structural capacity. Our engineering team can work with you to verify your building’s specifications to ensure a safe installation.
Q: What information do you need to give me a quote?
A: For an accurate quote, please provide your required lifting capacity, the necessary span (the distance between the ground rail and the elevated rail), the lifting height, and your facility’s power supply details. Knowing what you plan to lift also helps us recommend the best configuration for you.
