Double Girder EOT Cranes
VEDANT Cranes manufactures Double Girder Overhead up to 80MT. Double Girder Cranes can be offered for a very large range of spans, large range of height of lift as well as a large number of speeds. They can also be provided with multiple hoisting trolleys running on the same bridge.
On a double girder crane, there are two girder beams that make up the bridge and they are supported by an end truck on each side. In most instances, the trolley and hoist run on a rail installed on top of the bridge girders. With a double girder design, you gain the depth of the cross girder if the hoist is placed between or on top of the cross girders. A top running double girder bridge crane will provide the most overhead room, as well as the greatest hook height.
Double girder cranes are recommended for heavy-duty applications where the crane has to handle heavier capacities and longer spans. Because of this, the components of the crane system, including the hoist and trolley, are more complex in design making double girder cranes more expensive than a single girder crane.
Double girder bridge cranes are ideal for lifting heavy loads and can be used in more frequent operation than a single girder crane. They can also be used both indoors and outdoors, in a bridge or gantry set up, and are frequently used in mining, iron and steel production, railyards, and shipping ports.

Advantages of a Double Girder Design :
- Greater hook height how far above the floor the hoist will lift (typically 18-36 more than single girder).
- No limits to maximum span or capacity.
- Can be used in indoor and outdoor applications, including mining, iron and steel, railyards, and ports.
- Ideal for production and transportation of heavy equipment.
- Ideal for frequent lifting of heavy loads.
- Added features like walkways and maintenance platforms, cabs, magnetic reels, and lights can be added and supported by a double girder design.
