LDY Single Girder Metallurgical Overhead Crane	LDP Single Girder Low Headroom Bridge Crane
The LDY Single Girder Metallurgical Overhead Crane is a specialized lifting solution built specifically for extreme heat and molten metal handling in steel mills, foundries, and casting workshops. It handles capacities from 1 to 10 tons with spans of 18 to 36 meters and operates reliably in temperatures up to +60°C. The crane features a heat-insulated main beam, high-temperature resistant cables, and an H-insulation motor setup that protect the structure from radiant heat and thermal stress. Its metallurgical electric hoist includes three independent braking devices—a service brake, a safety brake, and an overload limiter—to ensure safe, controlled lifting of molten metal and hot materials. This crane is not a standard light-duty hoist; it is purpose-built for the harsh, cyclical demands of metallurgical production.	The LDP Single Girder Low Headroom Bridge Crane is engineered for facilities where vertical clearance is limited, such as older workshops, manufacturing plants, and warehouses with tight overhead space. With a lifting capacity of 1 to 20 tons and spans from 6 to 28.5 meters, this crane uses a side-mounted hoist and a compact single-girder design to minimize structural height without compromising performance. The streamlined profile allows installation in buildings that cannot accommodate standard overhead cranes, often eliminating the need for extensive infrastructure modifications. Built with high-strength steel and precision engineering, the LDP crane includes overload protection, limit switches, and emergency stop mechanisms as standard safety features. It offers a cost-effective way to maximize lifting height in confined spaces while maintaining reliable, low-maintenance operation.

LD Single Girder Overhead Cranes	HD European Standard Single Girder Overhead Crane
The LD Single Girder Overhead Crane is a practical, cost-effective choice for light to medium-duty lifting in small and medium-sized factories, workshops, and warehouses. It offers lifting capacities from 1 to 32 tons, with spans ranging from 7.5 to 31.5 meters and lifting heights of 6 to 30 meters. The crane features a welded box-section or I-beam structure with an electric hoist (typically CD1 or MD1 type wire rope hoist) suspended from the lower flange of the main girder. Its simple, lightweight design means fewer components, lower manufacturing costs, and easier maintenance compared to double-girder alternatives. The hoist sits beneath the main girder, providing generous headroom for workshops where vertical space is not a constraint. With a working duty class of A3 to A5, this crane is ideal for intermittent operations but is not suitable for heavy or continuous-duty applications.	The HD European Standard Single Girder Crane is a modern overhead crane designed to FEM (European) standards, offering high efficiency, a compact structure, and long service life. With capacities from 1 to 20 tons and spans of 3 to 28.5 meters, this crane is equipped with an advanced NR wire rope hoist that ensures precise lifting performance and smooth operation. Compared to traditional LD cranes, the HD model features an optimized main girder that reduces self-weight while maintaining high load-bearing capacity, placing lower demands on the building structure. The crane supports low-headroom operations, with the hook positioned closer to the main girder to maximize lifting height in workshops with limited ceiling clearance. It uses variable frequency drive (VFD) technology for smooth starting and stopping, reducing mechanical shock and energy consumption.

Single Girder Suspension Overhead Crane	Single Girder Explosion-proof Overhead Crane
The Ceiling-Mounted Single Girder Suspension Overhead Crane is a light-duty material handling solution that runs on suspension tracks attached directly to the building's roof structure or steel rafters. It handles capacities from 0.5 to 10 tons, with spans of 3 to 15 meters and lifting heights of 1 to 10 meters. The crane uses either an I-beam and channel construction for smaller loads or a U-shaped steel and I-beam hybrid for larger capacities. It is typically equipped with CD1 or MD1 electric hoists and offers flexible control options including pendant and remote control. This design keeps the floor area completely clear—no columns or floor rails needed—allowing forklifts and other ground equipment to move freely. The underhung mounting also reduces required headroom by up to 20% compared to traditional top-running cranes, making it ideal for facilities with restricted vertical space.	The Explosion-Proof Overhead Crane is designed for hazardous environments where flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dust pose ignition risks—such as chemical plants, oil and gas facilities, paint workshops, and grain processing plants. Available in both single-girder (LB type) and double-girder configurations, these cranes use explosion-proof motors, electrical components, and control systems that prevent sparks and eliminate ignition sources. The crane complies with GB3836.2-2000 and JB/T5897-1991 standards, with explosion-proof marks of Exd IIBT4 and Exd IICT4, making it suitable for Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas.

Ceiling-Mounted Workstation Cranes	Freestanding Workstation Overhead Cranes
Ceiling-Mounted Workstation Cranes are ergonomic material handling solutions for facilities with limited floor space or no steel support structures. With capacities from 0.5 to 10 tons and spans of 3 to 15 meters, these cranes run on tracks attached beneath the building's framework, keeping the floor area completely clear for other equipment and workflows. Control options include pendant control, handheld radio controls, or cabin controls for continuous operation. These cranes integrate readily into existing buildings and are ideal for assembly lines, repair bays, and cleanrooms where precise, efficient material handling is required.	Freestanding Workstation Overhead Cranes are lightweight, modular KBK flexible crane systems that offer a revolutionary approach to industrial material handling. With capacities from 0.5 to 3 tons, lifting heights of 1 to 10 meters, and spans of 1 to 10 meters, these cranes use standard components that can be combined into ring, bifurcation, or network configurations to meet specific logistics and production needs. The KBK-D flexible modular monorail conveyor system allows each trolley to be electrically driven independently, enabling two-way material transport without the constraints of centralized power stations.

Technical Specifications Comparison

Components of a 1 Ton Overhead Crane

A 1 ton overhead crane is a compact but highly efficient lifting system widely used in workshops, warehouses, assembly lines, and maintenance areas. Even though the capacity is relatively small, the crane still includes all the essential components found in larger bridge cranes. Specific configurations and accessories vary by type.

1. Main Girder of 1 Ton Overhead Crane

The main girder is the core structural part of a 1 ton bridge crane. It carries the load and supports the hoist and trolley. In most LD and HD single girder overhead cranes, the girder is made of welded steel plates in a box or I-beam structure. This design gives a good balance of strength and weight. For workstation bridge cranes, the girder is often lighter, sometimes using enclosed track profiles made of steel or aluminum. The girder must resist bending and vibration during lifting. Good design improves stability and extends service life.

2. Hoisting Mechanism

The hoist is the part that lifts and lowers the load. In a 1 ton overhead crane, you will usually see either an wire rope hoist or an electric chain hoist. LD and HD cranes often use wire rope hoists for smoother lifting and longer duty cycles. Workstation cranes more commonly use chain hoists for flexibility and lighter weight. A typical hoist includes a motor, gearbox, drum or chain wheel, wire rope or chain, hook block, and braking system. Many modern hoists use dual-speed or variable frequency control, which allows fast lifting for efficiency and slow lifting for precise positioning. Safety features include overload protection and limit switches to prevent over-travel.The hoist is the part that lifts and lowers the load.

3. Trolley System (Horizontal Load Movement)

The trolley carries the hoist and moves it left and right along the girder. In a 1-ton LD or HD overhead crane, the trolley usually runs on the top or bottom flange of the girder using motor-driven wheels. In a low headroom LDP crane, the trolley is specially designed to sit beside the girder, which saves vertical space. In workstation cranes, the trolley often runs inside an enclosed track, which reduces dust and improves smoothness. For under running cranes, the trolley runs on the lower flange of a runway beam. Smooth trolley movement is important because it reduces load swing and improves positioning accuracy.

4. End Carriages (Bridge Traveling Mechanism)

End carriages are mounted on both sides of the main girder. They allow the crane to travel forward and backward along the runway. Each end carriage includes wheels, motors, and drive systems. In LD and HD single girder cranes, these wheels run on rails mounted on top of runway beams. In under running cranes, the wheels run on the lower flange of the runway beam. High-quality wheels are usually made of hardened steel for durability. The traveling system often uses motors with frequency control (VFD) to ensure smooth acceleration and braking. This helps reduce wear and improves safety.

5. Runway System and Support Structure

The runway system supports the entire crane and allows it to move across the workshop. In top running cranes, the runway beams are installed on building columns. In under running cranes, the crane hangs from the building roof structure. In free standing workstation cranes, the system uses its own steel columns and does not rely on the building.

6. Safety Devices and Protection Systems

Safety is a key part of every 1 ton bridge crane design. Common safety components include overload limiters, upper and lower limit switches, emergency stop buttons, and travel limit switches. Braking systems ensure that loads do not fall or move unexpectedly. Our cranes are also equipped with overheating protection and anti-collision devices.
