Product Introduction

The European Double Girder Gantry Crane is a modern material handling solution designed for medium to heavy duty industrial applications. Adopting advanced European design concepts and manufacturing standards, the European Double Girder Gantry Crane offers significant advantages in terms of structural strength, operational efficiency and space utilization.

Compared with the ordinary double girder gantry crane, its main features are the use of European standards, a hardened surface of the reducer, a three-in-one drive, and PLC+frequency conversion control technology. This design comprehensively improves the product performance. At the same time, the weight of the crane is reduced by more than 15%, and the wheel pressure is reduced by 10-20%. It is suitable for general handling and lifting operations in open warehouses or along railroad tracks. It can also be equipped with a variety of lifting equipment for special operations.

Difference Between European VS Traditional Double Girder Gantry Cranes

Differences	European double-beam gantry crane	Traditional double-beam gantry crane
Structural weight	Lightweight design (15-30% lighter)	Traditional box-beam structure
Operation energy consumption	Energy saving of more than 30%	Conventional energy consumption level
Lifting height	Height optimization and 20% improvement	Fixed clearance requirement
Control accuracy	±1mm positioning accuracy	±10mm conventional accuracy
Maintenance cost	Maintenance-free bearings + centralized lubrication system	Conventional lubrication requirements
Service life	Design life of 25 years (FEM standard)	Generally 15-20 years
Ease of installation	Generally, 15-20 years	Large on-site welding workload

Features

Lightweight and low wheel pressure design

Adopting high strength steel and optimized structure, the machine is light in weight and has low wheel pressure, which reduces the load on the foundation of the plant, and reduces the investment cost of track and civil construction.

Reduced Maintenance, Cost Saving

The key components adopt European standard (FEM/DIN) high-quality parts, which reduces the failure rate and maintenance frequency. High-efficiency frequency conversion drive system reduces energy consumption and saves more than 30% of the comprehensive operation cost.

Space-optimized design

Low headroom structure improves the effective lifting height, especially suitable for places with restricted building height. Modular end-beam layout adapts to the needs of different spans and maximizes the use of plant space.

High-performance configuration

Equipped with full frequency conversion stepless speed regulation as standard, with smooth and precise operation (positioning accuracy ±1mm). Modular expansion design, support the main / vice double hook configuration, the maximum lifting capacity of 320 tons.

Environmental adaptability

IP55 protection electrical system, dustproof and waterproof, suitable for open air and harsh working conditions. Wide temperature range operation (-25℃~+50℃), optional windproof anchoring device (resistant to 20m/s wind speed).

Intelligent control options

Panoramic cab with optional air-conditioning and shock-absorbing seat to enhance operating comfort. Intelligent control system integrates anti-sway, torque limitation, remote monitoring and other functions to realize precise and efficient operation.

Application

European double beam gantry cranes are widely applicable in material handling situations. Usually, it is in steel metallurgy, hydro-power, aerospace, ships, automobiles, coal, petrochemicals, etc. And European gantry cranes can not only achieve bi-directional movement but also easily raise or lower heavy objects. It requires special technical methods to ensure operational safety in explosive, flammable, or corrosive environments.
