Overhead Cranes Types
Single Girder Overhead Cranes
Single girder overhead cranes can range from manual systems for loads of 250kg or less, right up to capacities of over 10 tonnes.
Single girder cranes are a type of overhead crane that are common in production, engineering and many other workplaces as they cater to practically any lifting application.
A & B Crane and Electrical Services Limited are a leading UK manufacturer of single girder overhead cranes, supplying standard and bespoke models around the world. Every one of our single girder cranes is made to order, meaning its size and capacity can be adapted to fit your requirements.
As a rule of thumb we tend to specify single girder crane designs for loads under 10 tonnes, anything over this will typically feature a double girder design.
Single girder cranes
Single girder overhead cranes get their name from the fact that they utilise just one beam, as opposed to two. As such, they are typically designed to carry lighter loads than double girder models.
As with all A & B Crane and Electrical Services Limited overhead systems, our single girder cranes can span either all or part of a building as required. Electric powered models are common, but manual options are also available for lighter applications. The use of our Kinematic Drive System means each of our single girder cranes offers an excellent operating performance.

Double Girder Overhead Cranes
Robust, built to last and designed around your needs, double girder overhead cranes are ideal for lifting heavier capacities.

By using two adjacently positioned beams, double girder cranes offer improved support for the goods being handled, allowing the movement of larger capacities. Typically we will specify a double girder crane design for loads over approx. 10 tonnes.

All our double girder overhead cranes are made to order – meaning they can be built to any size and adapted to handle any load.
