Single-girder overhead cranes, also known as single-beam bridge cranes, feature three primary operation methods. Today we’ll focus on the most common approaches and essential safety considerations.

1. Ground Operation (Manual Control)

  • Relies entirely on operator skill and experience
  • Operation effectiveness directly correlates with worker proficiency
  • Requires specialized training to ensure safety and precision

2. Cab Operation (Enclosed/Open Design)

  • Control cabin can be left or right-mounted per customer requirements
  • Available in open or enclosed configurations for different environments
  • Provides better visibility for precise load handling

3. Remote Control Operation

  • Wireless system allows flexible positioning
  • Enhanced safety by maintaining distance from loads
  • Ideal for hazardous or high-temperature environments

Essential Maintenance Tips

✔ Pre/Post-Operation Checks – Prevent minor component failures from causing major accidents
✔ Regular Lubrication – Extend service life of wheels, gears, and bearings
✔ Structural Inspections – Monitor for cracks or deformations in the girder
