A single girder EOT crane is a type of an EOT (Electric Overhead Traveling) crane used for material handling in today's industrial world. These cranes are used to lift lighter weights with a hoist connected to a trolley. These cranes are composed of lightweight equipment and are usually seen within production and engineering facilities.
They are further divided into two categories –
• Top running single girder
• Under running single girder
Top running:
• These cranes have a fixed track built over the top of each bridge.
• They are used to lift loads weighing up to 35 tons and can reach up to 90 feet.
• They are cost-effective as these cranes are lighter in weight and put less load on the runway.
• They can be easily carried to the site.
• Their installation and maintenance is simple.
Under running:
• These cranes get support from the above and are hung below the roof.
• They are used to lift loads weighing up to 25 tons and can reach 75 feet.
• Despite having a lesser range, these cranes are more flexible.
• They are equipped with more functions and more ergonomic than top running cranes.
• They need no runway structure as the system can be installed within their design.
• They are more rigid
Their Advantages:
• These cranes can reach up to 50 feet and can lift up to 15 tons.
• They are quick in mechanism and can handle approximately 15 tons of load with a bridge approaching at a speed of 200 feet per minute.
• They are loaded with features; as a standby mode and a frequency, inverter is equipped.
• They are cost-effective as they offer a reduced cost over the components, runway structure, and building.
• They are flexible and can be modified accordingly.
• They offer smooth starting and braking features.
• They are easy to maintain
Their Disadvantages:
• They offer a less height range than double girder EOT cranes.
• They can only be used to lift light weights (not more than 15 tons).
• The under running hoist trolley can cause early damage to the bottom flange.
• Their special features sometimes can be hard to incorporate.
It totally depends on the usage and the facility where the crane is adept at operating.
