EOT Single Girder Crane: Empowering Factories with Efficient, Safe, and Smart Lifting

2025-10-22

As manufacturing moves toward automation and intelligence, cranes play an increasingly critical role on production lines. Modern factories demand cranes that lift stably, control precisely, and operate reliably over time. Traditional cranes struggle to meet efficiency and safety needs due to heavy structure, high energy use, and outdated controls. In this context, EOT single girder crane offers lightweight design, intelligent control, and dependable performance. They enable efficient, safe material handling in assembly, transportation, and storage processes. The electric overhead traveling crane provide strong support for factories pursuing intelligent production upgrades.

Definition and Structure of EOT Single Girder Cranes

Definition of EOT Single Girder Crane

An EOT single girder crane is an overhead electric bridge crane running on factory rails. Its compact structure, light weight, and smooth operation make it widely used in workshops. Electric overhead traveling crane is ideal for material handling and precise positioning in warehouses, assembly, and production lines.

Structure and Working Principle of EOT Single Girder Crane

EOT single girder cranes consists of a main girder, end beams, electric hoist, traveling mechanism, and electrical control system. It achieves lifting, transverse movement, and longitudinal travel via electric drive.

Main Girder:The core load-bearing structure supporting the hoist and lifting load. It offers high rigidity and bending resistance for stable and reliable operation.
End Beams:Connect the main girder and support the crane on rails. They contain wheel set and drive units for smooth rail travel.
Electric Hoist:Mounted under the main girder for lifting and horizontal movement. Usually uses wire rope or chain drive, with braking, anti-overtravel, and limit protection.
Traveling Mechanism: Includes drive motor, gearbox, and wheel set for crane movement. It is compact, low-noise, smooth, and supports variable frequency speed control.
Electrical Control System: Manages operation and safety, including control cabinet, handles, or wireless remote. It enables start/stop, speed adjustment, and multiple safety protections.

The electric drive system allows lifting, transverse, and longitudinal movement. The hoist moves horizontally along the main girder track. Main and end beams form a bridge structure, moving longitudinally along factory rails. Operators control the crane via floor handle or wireless remote. The electrical system coordinates movements, ensuring precise and stable material handling.
