Weihua exported a 5 ton LD type single girder overhead crane to Tanzania for warehouse material handling. The crane was shipped on September 2, 2026, and installation and commissioning have been completed. This case shows how a compact LD type single girder crane serves warehouse lifting and cargo transfer, from export packing to installation on site.

Warehouses need lifting equipment that makes use of overhead space and keeps the floor clear for storage and traffic. The LD type pont roulant monopoutre runs on runway beams above the working area. It lifts and moves goods without taking up floor space or competing with forklifts and pedestrians.
For a 5 ton duty, a single girder design is a practical choice. Compared with a double girder crane, it has a simpler bridge structure, lower self-weight and lower initial investment. It also puts a lighter load on the building’s runway beams and columns. When the load is within the single girder range, a double girder crane is usually not necessary.
In warehousing and logistics centers, LD type single girder cranes are used for lifting, stacking and retrieving finished goods between storage racks. The same crane design is also used in machinery manufacturing, assembly workshops, light industrial plants and steel structure workshops. Because the crane runs overhead, it keeps aisles and floor area free for storage and traffic.
LD type cranes are not suitable for lifting molten metal, hot metal or flammable goods, or for workshops with acidic or corrosive gases. For ordinary warehouse cargo, they are a practical and economical choice.
The LD type is a standard Weihua single girder crane. It consists of a main girder, two end beams, a trolley with an electric hoist, and an electrical control system. The operator controls hoisting, trolley travel and bridge travel, and the hoist is commonly matched with CD1 and MD1 electric wire rope hoists.
The table below shows the standard specification of Weihua LD type single girder EOT cranes. The 5 ton capacity is the capacity of this project’s crane. Span, lifting height and electrical supply are customized to each project.
| Paramètres | LD Type Standard Specification |
| Capacité de levage nominale | 5 tonnes |
| La portée | 15 m |
| Hauteur de levage | 8 m |
| Lifting Speed (5 ton) | 8 (8/0.8) m/min |
| Hoist Traveling Speed | 20 m/min |
| Crane Traveling Speed | 20 (30) m/min |
| Niveau de travail | A3 |
| Alimentation électrique | 3-phase, 380 V, 50 Hz |
The LD type uses an I-beam or box-girder main beam with low wheel pressure, which reduces the load on the building structure and runway beams. Its modular design and standardized components allow quick installation, and key parts are easy to inspect and replace. A tapered brake motor gives smooth starting and braking, and an optional variable frequency drive allows more precise positioning.
LD type cranes are equipped with the following protective devices:
The project photos show the crane prepared for export. The red main girder and end beams are laid out in the workshop, and the hoist trolley is handled as a separate unit. The final photo shows the crane parts being loaded for container shipment to Tanzania.
Splitting an overhead crane into girder, end beams and hoist trolley is standard for export. It lets each part be packed securely, protects the painted surfaces and electrical parts, and fits the crane into a shipping container. This crane was shipped on September 2, 2026.
Installation and commissioning of the crane have been completed at the Tanzanian site. Commissioning of an overhead crane normally includes:
Weihua provides installation guidance, training and after-sales service for its overhead cranes.
For this warehouse customer in Tanzania, the 5 ton LD type single girder crane provides a reliable overhead lifting solution for moving goods within the warehouse. Buyers planning a similar project should consider the maximum load, building span, lifting height, working frequency and local power supply.
To design a suitable crane, Weihua engineers need the following information:
A 5 ton LD type single girder overhead crane, used for warehouse material handling.
On September 2, 2026. Installation and commissioning have been completed.
Yes. It uses the overhead space, keeps the floor clear and costs less than a double girder crane. It is suitable for most warehouse loads within its capacity range of 1–32 ton.
A3, A4 and A5, depending on the lifting frequency and load spectrum.
Lifting capacity, building span, lifting height, power supply, control mode and the type of goods lifted. Building drawings or photos help the engineers.
Yes. Weihua packs the crane parts for export and arranges container loading, as in this project.
