European Double Girder Gantry Crane

The European double girder gantry crane is a rail-mounted gantry crane featuring two box-type main girders, a compact European-style electric hoist trolley, and optimized end carriages. Compared with traditional double girder gantry cranes, the European gantry crane has lighter overall dead weight, lower wheel load, and lower headroom, providing a higher effective hook height. It uses variable frequency drives to achieve smoother lifting and braking.

Yufei Crane provides customized European double girder gantry cranes for general manufacturing, outdoor yards, precast concrete plants, logistics parks, ports, rail freight yards, and heavy fabrication workshops. As a professional double girder gantry crane manufacturer, we design each crane according to the actual lifting capacity, span, lifting height, work duty, rail gauge, and site conditions.

Note: Lifting capacity, span, lifting height, lifting speed, traveling speed, power supply, and operation mode can all be customized.

Features of the European Double-Girder Gantry Crane:

Lightweight design: Low dead weight and low wheel pressure reduce the cost of the runway steel structure.

High space utilization: The compact overall structure provides a higher effective hook height within the same clearance, expanding the working range.

Modular design: Modular components shorten the manufacturing cycle and make transportation, installation, maintenance, and repair more convenient.

Smooth and precise operation: Full variable frequency drive with soft start/soft stop and anti-sway function enables precise crane travel and load positioning.

Complete safety devices: Standard overload limiter, limit switches, safety alarms, and other safety devices. Outdoor configurations include rain covers, galvanized or stainless steel fasteners, and corrosion-resistant coatings to extend service life.

Applications of the European Double-Girder Gantry Crane:

Outdoor freight yards: Lifting and handling of bulk materials and goods

Production workshops and factories: Transfer of raw materials, parts, equipment, and finished products

Logistics and warehousing centers: Lifting of medium or heavy cargo

Ports and container yards: Lifting and handling of containers

Railway freight stations: Lifting of bulk materials, goods, and containers

Mines and quarries: Lifting of ore, slag, and working equipment

 

Main Girder

Material: Q355B/Q235B structural steel box girder.

Designed and manufactured in accordance with FEM/DIN standards. Inspected by ultrasonic testing (UT) or magnetic particle testing (MT) before delivery. Lightweight design provides a compact and rigid structure with low wheel load.

 

Legs

Material: Q355B/Q235B structural steel.

Available in A-type or U-type configuration. Connected to the main girder by high-strength bolts. Anti-corrosion treatment applied before delivery. The robust and stable structure extends outdoor service life.

 

Trolley

Usually a European winch trolley or European wire rope electric hoist trolley.

Compact structure with variable frequency two-speed control and anti-sway control. Smooth operation, precise positioning, low headroom, and minimal load swing.

 

Bottom Beam

Material: Q355B/Q235B structural steel.

Connects the two legs and is fitted with the crane travel system at the bottom. Equipped with three-in-one geared motors and VFD control, reducing crane sway and extending service life.

To select a suitable European-type double-girder gantry crane, evaluate the following key parameters:

Step 1 - Determine the Actual Load

Use the maximum load you will lift - not the average load - and add the weight of the hook block, lifting beam, or other attachments. A reasonable margin avoids failure, but over-specifying only increases procurement and operating costs.

Step 2 - Determine Span and Lifting Height

Span is the distance between the two ground rails, and lifting height is the distance from the ground to the top of the hook when the hook is at its highest position. A larger span requires stronger main girders and a heavier structure. Choosing a smaller span that still covers the working area can significantly reduce costs.

Step 3 - Match the Work Duty to Actual Usage

Select work duty A3-A4 for intermittent operation and A5-A7 for continuous operation. Choosing a higher work duty than actually needed increases costs; choosing a lower one shortens the service life of the crane.

Step 4 - Define the Working Environment

Please specify whether the crane will be used indoors or outdoors, the local wind zone, temperature range, humidity or salt spray environment, dust level, and whether explosion-proof design is required. Outdoor European gantry cranes are usually equipped with anemometers and wind-resistant components.

Step 5 - Select Power Supply and Control Mode

Confirm the on-site voltage and frequency, and choose among pendant control, wireless remote control, and cabin control according to the actual working conditions.

Step 6 - Select Optional Accessories

Common optional accessories include lifting beams, electromagnetic chucks, rotating hooks, operator cabins, auxiliary hoists, anti-sway systems, anemometers, and centralized lubrication devices.
