Overview
The single girder EOT (Electric Overhead Travelling) crane is AMBAT ICONCRANES' most cost-effective overhead lifting solution - one box girder on top or under-running rails, carrying an under-slung electric hoist, engineered for loads from 250 kg up to 15 tonnes over spans up to 18 metres. It is the default choice wherever a plant's load and span fall inside this working range and headroom is at a premium
Key Features
- Welded box-section girder engineered to IS 807/3177 deflection limits
- Under-slung wire rope electric hoist (see Hoist page) sized to duty class
- Class II duty as standard; Class IV continuous duty available on request
- Central drive option for synchronised end-truck travel
- Top-running or under-running rail configuration
Benefits
- Lower structural steel and headroom requirement than double girder cranes - the most economical option within its capacity range
- Faster manufacturing lead time than heavier double girder equivalents
- Suits general workshops, warehouses and light fabrication without over-specifying the structure
- Compatible with the same hoist, control panel and accessory range used across the wider AMBAT ICONCRANES product line

Why Choose Our Product
- Right-sized structural design avoids paying for double-girder steel you don't need
- Every crane specified to actual span, headroom and duty cycle, not sold off a fixed catalogue size
- Built and tested at the same Ambernath facility as the company's heavier crane range, so quality control is consistent across the whole product line
Manufacturing & Quality Process
Girders are fabricated as welded box sections and checked against IS 807/3177 deflection limits before end trucks, drive and hoist are assembled. Dimensions for cranes above 10 Ton SWL or 18 M span are engineered against the specific enquiry rather than pulled from a generic table, since span, headroom and building structure interact differently on every site.
Product Comparison
| Feature | Single Girder EOT | Double Girder EOT |
|---|---|---|
| Capacity Range | 250 kg - 15 Ton | 10 - 150 Ton |
| Typical Span | Up to 18 M | Above 25 M |
| Structure Cost | Lower | Higher |
| Hook Approach/Height | Standard (under-slung hoist) | Better (top-running trolley) |
| Best For | Light/medium duty, tight headroom | Heavy loads, long spans, continuous duty |
Certifications & Compliance
- Class II duty per IS 807 (1963) & IS 3177 (1977, Revised) as standard
- Class IV continuous duty available on request
- AISE, DIN, JIS, FEM references applied for export builds
Installation & Maintenance
Installation includes runway alignment, girder placement, electrical termination and safety interlock testing, followed by commissioning load tests. AMC coverage for single girder cranes includes periodic inspection, wire rope checks, brake adjustment and limit switch calibration - see the Services page for package options.
Accessories & Compatible Products
- Wire rope electric hoist (see Hoist page)
- Control panel / VFD upgrade (see Automation Solutions)
- Radio remote control
- Anti-collision device (for multi-crane runways)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What is the maximum capacity for a single girder EOT crane?
Up to 15 tonnes SWL across spans up to 18 metres as standard; larger dimensions are engineered against specific enquiry.
Q2. What's the difference between single girder and double girder cranes?
Single girder uses one box girder and suits lighter loads/shorter spans; double girder uses two girders for higher capacity, longer spans, and better hook height.
Q3. Can a single girder crane run Class IV continuous duty?
Yes, Class IV duty construction is available on request for heavier-use environments.
Q4. What standard are these cranes built to?
Class II duty per IS-807 (1963) and IS 3177 (1977, Revised) as standard.
Q5. Do you supply the hoist with the crane?
Yes, an under-slung wire rope electric hoist sized to the crane's duty class is supplied as standard.
