Weiyuan MH Type Single Girder Gantry Crane
Product Overview
The Weiyuan MH Type Single Girder Gantry Crane is the quintessential workhorse for modern industrial lifting. As one of the most widely used gantry cranes, it offers a perfect balance of strength, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Characterized by its clean, strong box-type main girder and A-frame legs, the MH model provides a simple yet incredibly robust structure. Paired with our reliable CD/MD model electric hoist, this crane is an indispensable tool for material handling in a vast range of outdoor and indoor settings, from manufacturing plants to open-air stockyards.
Product Advantages
Strong and Efficient Box Girder Design
The single main girder is fabricated into a strong box-shape, providing excellent torsional rigidity and strength. This modern design is computationally optimized to be lighter and more robust than traditional truss structures, ensuring stable and smooth crane operation under load.
Cost-Effective and High-Value
Thanks to its simple structure and standardized components, the MH gantry crane is one of the most economical lifting solutions available. It delivers exceptional performance and durability for a lower initial investment and requires minimal maintenance, ensuring a fast return on investment.
Versatile for Indoor and Outdoor Use
Engineered to perform in any environment, the MH crane is built with high-grade steel and a multi-layer, anti-corrosive paint finish. This makes it equally effective inside a workshop or exposed to the elements in rail yards, shipping areas, and construction sites.
Easy to Operate and Maintain
With straightforward controls via a user-friendly pendant or an optional wireless remote, operators can quickly become proficient and productive. The open design and simple mechanics make inspections and routine maintenance quick and easy, minimizing downtime.
Fully Customizable to Your Site
Weiyuan manufactures each MH crane to order. We work with you to customize the key parameters—lifting capacity, span, lifting height, and even optional cantilevers—to ensure the crane is a perfect fit for your facility and operational needs.
Application Scenarios
- General Manufacturing: An essential tool for lifting raw materials, moving heavy components between workstations, and loading finished products onto trucks.
- Outdoor Stockyards: Ideal for handling steel, pipe, stone, and other bulk materials stored in open-air yards, providing efficient organization and movement.
- Precast Concrete Plants: Reliably lifts and transports concrete forms, rebar cages, and finished precast sections with ease.
- Railway Freight Lines: Facilitates the loading and unloading of goods and materials alongside railway tracks.

FAQ
Q: What is the main application for an MH-type gantry crane?
A: The MH type is a general-purpose gantry crane. Its versatility makes it the most common choice for medium-duty lifting (typically 3-20 tons) in both indoor factories and outdoor environments like stockyards, precast plants, and rail sidings.
Q: Should I choose a box girder or a truss girder?
A: A box girder, standard on the MH model, offers superior torsional strength and a clean, modern look that’s easy to maintain. A truss girder (often an MGH model) can be a better choice for very long spans (over 35m) in windy locations due to its lower wind resistance.
Q: What is a cantilever, and do I need one?
A: A cantilever is an extension of the main beam that goes past the legs. It’s very useful for increasing your work area, allowing the hoist to reach beyond the rails to load trucks or access areas the crane legs can’t straddle.
Q: Is the wireless remote control a good option?
A: Yes, a wireless remote is an excellent upgrade. It improves safety by allowing the operator to stand at a safe distance from the load, offering a better vantage point and freedom of movement compared to being tethered by a pendant cable.
Q: How do I get a quote for a 10-ton MH gantry crane?
A: Simply contact us with your key requirements: 1) 10-ton capacity, 2) Span (distance between the rail centers), 3) Lifting height, 4) Required runway length (crane travel distance), and 5) whether you need cantilevers. We’ll provide a customized proposal promptly.
