Classification of Single Beam Overhead Lifting Equipment
Box Type Single Girder Material Handling Crane
The box-type gantry lifting system features a robust construction utilizing premium steel plates, C-steel, and I-steel components. This configuration employs standard CD or MD electric hoists that traverse along the lower flange of the main I-beam structure. The warehouse gantry crane with box beam design offers exceptional structural integrity, making it suitable for indoor and outdoor material handling applications requiring consistent performance and reliability.
Key Features of Box-Type Configuration
- Enhanced load distribution through welded steel plate construction
- Optimized for 5-ton to 20-ton lifting capacity requirements
- Ideal for facilities with moderate wind exposure
- Superior rigidity for precision material positioning
Truss Type Lightweight Gantry Lifting System
The truss-style single beam crane represents an innovative approach to overhead lifting, constructed primarily from steel bars rather than plates. This lightweight material handling equipment offers significant advantages for specific applications, particularly in environments requiring enhanced wind resistance and reduced structural weight.
Distinctive Advantages of Truss-Type Construction
- Substantially lighter than comparable box-type designs
- Superior wind resistance for outdoor gantry crane installations
- Cost-effective solution for long-span material handling applications
- Reduced foundation requirements due to lighter overall weight
- Optimal for port and shipyard lifting operations
