This
article is prolongation to blog post which gives the detailed insight about the
Double Girder EOT Crane.
In
this blog post, we will understand about the Characteristic, design &
Advantage of Single Girder Eot Crane.
Single
Girder Eot Crane is extensively used in engineering industries, large mills,
railway and others
Design of Single Girder Eot Crane
As
evident from the name, Single Girder Eot Crane consists of a single bridge
girder supported on two end trucks. It has a trolley hoist mechanism that runs
on the bottom flange of the bridge girder.
Below
is typical figure of such type of crane
The
main components of such cranes are bridge Girder, end trucks, bridge girders,
runway, rail, hoist , trolley and buffer.
Advantages of Single girder eot crane
Þ
Single girder bridge cranes generally have
a maximum span between 20 and 50 feet with a maximum lift of 15-50 feet.
Þ
They can handle 1-15 tonnes with bridge
speeds approaching a maximum of 200 feet per minute (fpm), trolley speeds of
approximately 100 fpm, and hoist speeds ranging from 10-60 fpm.
Þ
They are candidates for light to moderate
service and are cost effective for use as a standby (infrequently used) crane.
Þ
Single girder cranes reduce the total crane
cost on crane components, runway structure and building.
