Overhead Cranes

Double Girder Overhead Cranes

You get a higher-capacity heavy duty overhead crane system engineered for heavier loads, longer spans and demanding industrial duty cycles.

Problem → Solution → Benefit

Practical lifting support, scoped around your site.

Heavy industry needs more than a basic bridge crane. When loads are heavier, spans are longer or lifting height matters, double girder overhead cranes and heavy duty overhead cranes from Zentro deliver capacity, stability, control and service access.

What are double girder overhead cranes?

Double girder overhead cranes use two main girders across the span of operation. This configuration gives higher load capacity, stronger duty performance and better lifting height because the hook can raise between the girders.

Most double girder systems are automatic or remote-controlled and can be configured for high duty cycles. Smooth starting and braking reduce load swing and improve operator control.

Best applications

Double girder overhead cranes are suited to mining, fabrication, manufacturing, heavy engineering, railway and furnace environments where heavier capacities, longer spans or load rotation may be required.

Benefit

You get a stronger, more capable industrial crane platform that can be adapted to the site, the load and the production cycle.

Service FAQ

What are double girder overhead cranes used for?
Double girder overhead cranes are used for heavy loads, longer spans and high lifting heights. The two-girder design allows the hook to lift between the girders, making them ideal for mining, fabrication, manufacturing and furnace applications.
How do heavy duty overhead cranes differ from standard cranes?
Heavy duty overhead cranes are built for more demanding duty cycles, heavier capacities and harsher environments. They include stronger girders, robust drives, advanced controls and options such as IP65-rated components for dust or moisture.
What capacities do Zentro double girder overhead cranes cover?
Zentro manufactures double girder overhead cranes and heavy duty overhead cranes from 5 t up to 150 t+ with spans up to 35 m typical, including pendant, radio, cabin or automated control options.
