A Double Girder EOT (Electric Overhead Travelling) Crane is a heavy-duty lifting system designed with two main girders. The hoist or crab travels on top of these girders, giving the crane higher strength, more stability, and greater lifting height.
This type of crane is preferred in industries where heavy loads, large span, and continuous operation are required.
1. Suitable for Heavy Load Lifting (1 Ton – 200 Ton+)
Double Girder Cranes are designed to handle medium to very heavy loads on a continuous basis.
Examples:
- Heavy machinery
- Steel coils
- Large fabrication structures
- Casting products
- Cranes in steel plants, power plants, foundries
It provides higher load capacity than Single Girder Cranes because the load is distributed over two girders.
2. Higher Lifting Height (More Hook Height Available)
In Double Girder Cranes, the crab/hoist travels on top of the girders, not below them.
This gives:
- More lifting height
- Better utilization of shed height
- Ideal for tall or large components
Industries with space constraints at high levels prefer this crane for maximum hook travel.
3. Suitable for Large Span Industrial Sheds
Double Girder Cranes are ideal for wide workshops and large span sheds.
Benefits:
- More stability
- Better load distribution
- Smooth operation across long distances
Where single girder is not sufficient, double girder becomes the best choice.
4. Strong, Rigid & Heavy-Duty Design
The dual-girder construction provides:
- Extra rigidity
- Less vibration
- High structural stability
- Smooth operation under continuous load
This makes it suitable for heavy-duty, 24×7 industrial applications.
5. Can Handle Special Attachments & Custom Solutions
Double Girder Cranes can support advanced lifting attachments like:
- Grab buckets
- Magnets
- Rotating crabs
- Twin hoists
- Lifting beams
- Ladle handling systems (for steel plants)
These attachments require more space and strength, only possible in a double girder design.
6. Faster Operations with Higher Travel Speeds
Double Girder Cranes can operate at higher cross-travel & long-travel speeds because the structure can handle more dynamic load.
Useful in:
- Large production areas
- Container handling
- Assembly lines
- Steel & fabrication plants
This helps increase productivity.
7. Suitable for Harsh, Heavy, or High-Temperature Environments
Double Girder Cranes are widely used in:
- Steel mills
- Foundries
- Cement plants
- Power plants
- Shipyards
Because they can withstand:
- Heavy load cycles
- High temperatures
- Rough working conditions
8. Longer Life & Reliable Performance
Due to their robust construction:
- Less structural stress
- Long service life
- Fewer failures under continuous use
Maintenance is easy because major components are easily accessible on the top.
In Summary
A Double Girder EOT Crane is choose because it is:
- Ideal for heavy loads (5–200 Ton+)
- Provides maximum lifting height
- Works for large-span workshops
- Robust, rigid, and highly stable
- Supports special lifting attachments
- Faster, smoother, and safer for continuous heavy-duty operation
- Reliable for harsh industrial environments
It is the best choice for industries where strength, height, durability, and continuous heavy lifting are required.
2. Higher Lifting Height (More Hook Height Available)
In Double Girder Cranes, the crab/hoist travels on top of the girders, not below them.
This gives:
- More lifting height
- Better utilization of shed height
- Ideal for tall or large components
Industries with space constraints at high levels prefer this crane for maximum hook travel.
