Product Introduction
The Yufei European single-girder gantry crane consists of a main girder, a low-headroom European electric hoist, legs, lower crossbeams and a travelling system. The crane runs on rails laid on the ground, and cantilevers can be added on one or both sides of the main girder.
Compared with conventional gantry cranes, the European single-girder gantry crane adopts an optimized main girder design, three-in-one geared motors and a compact European hoist. As a result, it has lower dead weight, lower wheel loads and lower energy consumption, and it also places lower requirements on the plant foundation and civil works.

Product Feature And Application
Features of the European single-girder gantry crane:
Compact and lightweight structure
The European single-girder gantry crane adopts a lightweight design and has a compact structure. Compared with conventional gantry cranes, it has lower dead weight and smaller wheel loads, which reduces the cost of the rail foundation.
Low-headroom design
The compact European hoist and low-profile main girder design enable the European single-girder crane to effectively increase the available lifting height under the same building headroom.
Smooth and precise travelling and lifting
Hoisting, trolley travel and crane travel are all variable-frequency driven, providing smooth acceleration and deceleration, reducing load swing and improving positioning accuracy.
Easy installation and maintenance
The crane adopts a modular design and can be quickly assembled and disassembled on site. Components are easy to repair and replace, and maintenance costs are low.
Flexible operation
Pendant control, wireless remote control or cabin control can be selected to meet site operation requirements.
Applications of the European single-girder gantry crane:
Open-air storage yards: for material lifting and handling
Machinery manufacturing and maintenance workshops: for equipment lifting and overhaul
Steel structure fabrication workshops: for handling plates, profiles and components
Precast concrete plants: for mould handling and product transfer
Warehouses and logistics yards: for cargo loading and unloading
Product Details

Main Girder
Material: Q355B / Q235B steel plate
It carries the electric hoist and the load, and serves as the main load-bearing structure of the crane. It adopts a low-profile box-type design, featuring a compact structure, light dead weight, high strength and small deflection.
Legs
Material: Q235B / Q355B steel plate
The legs support the main girder and transfer the load to the lower crossbeams and rails. They are available in A-type / L-type configurations and are connected to the main girder and lower crossbeams with high-strength bolts, which facilitates transportation and installation.


Lower Crossbeam
Material: Q235B / Q355B steel plate
The lower crossbeam supports the legs, accommodates the travelling wheels, and drives the whole crane along the rails. It is equipped with an integrated wheel assembly and a three-in-one geared motor, featuring a compact structure, low wheel load and smooth travelling.
Hoisting Mechanism
European wire rope electric hoist, responsible for lifting and handling the load. It adopts a compact low-headroom design with variable-frequency drive, providing smooth lifting, precise positioning and easy maintenance.

Certifications



After-Sales Service
Installation & Commissioning
Our experienced service engineers perform on-site installation and commissioning (or supervised guidance), including no-load, static and dynamic load tests, before the crane is accepted and handed over.
Operator & Maintenance Training
We provide on-site training for your operators and maintenance staff, covering safe operating rules, daily inspection, lubrication and routine care, so your team can operate the crane independently and safely.
12–18 Month Warranty
A 12–18 month warranty from commissioning or delivery covers defects in workmanship and materials; normal wear of consumable parts and misuse are excluded.

We deliver a complete documentation package including GA drawings, structural drawings, electrical schematics, operation manual, load test report and certificate of conformity - providing reliable reference for on-site installation, commissioning and routine maintenance.
Fast Spare Parts Supply
Genuine original spare parts are supplied - common parts kept in stock for fast delivery and special parts produced on request, with long-term supply for the crane's full service life.
24/7 Support & Remote Diagnosis
24/7 technical support and remote fault diagnosis via phone, email or video help identify problems quickly; on-site support is arranged when necessary to minimize downtime.
FAQ
Q: What is the difference between a European single girder gantry crane and a traditional gantry crane?
A: The European single girder gantry crane features a compact box girder, a European low-headroom hoist and three-in-one geared motors. Compared with a traditional gantry crane, it is lighter in self-weight, produces lower wheel load, runs more smoothly, and requires less building headroom.
Q: Can this crane be used outdoors?
A: Yes. The crane can be equipped with a rain cover, anti-corrosion paint, wind-speed alarm, rail clamp and wind-anchoring device for outdoor operation.
Q: What is the usual delivery time?
A: The standard delivery time is usually 30–60 days, depending on lifting capacity, span, configuration and order quantity. Customized configurations may take longer.
Q: What power supply standards are supported?
A: We can supply motors and control systems for 380 V / 50 Hz / 3 Ph, 400 V / 50 Hz, 415 V / 50 Hz, 460 V / 60 Hz and other voltages as required by the customer.
Q: Do you provide CE and FEM documents?
A: Yes. We provide design calculation reports, electrical drawings, operation manuals, load test certificates, and conformity documents in accordance with CE, FEM, ISO and GB/T requirements.
Q: Can a cantilever be added to the crane?
A: Yes. A single-end or double-end cantilever can be added for loading and unloading goods beyond the rail span.
Q: What is the maximum lifting capacity of a European single girder gantry crane?
A: The standard range of the European single girder gantry crane is 1 to 32 tons. For higher capacities, a double girder gantry crane or a special design is recommended.
Q: What maintenance does a European gantry crane require?
A: Daily inspections include the brakes, limit switches, wire rope or chain, wheels and control buttons. Regular checks on gearbox oil level, electrical connections and structural bolts are recommended. YuFei provides complete maintenance manuals and spare parts support.
