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.

Industries
Mining, production, fabrication, manufacturing, heavy engineering, railways, furnaces
Capacity and configuration
Zentro specifies double girder systems from 5 t up to 150 t+ with spans up to 35 m typical. The two-girder bridge can carry single or multiple crab hoist arrangements, including auxiliary hoist options, to match the production cycle.
Heavy-duty performance
Suited to mining, production, fabrication, manufacturing, heavy engineering, railway and furnace environments where heavier capacities, longer spans or load rotation may be required. Smooth acceleration and braking improve operator control and reduce load swing.
Features and control options
Controls built for the application
Control options include pendant, radio, cabin or automated setups. IP65-rated controls are available where dust or moisture is a concern.
- Capacity from 5 t to 150 t+
- Spans up to 35 m typical
- Single or multiple crab unit options
- Variable speed drives on travel motions
- IP65 controls available
- Hook lifts between the girders
Advantages
The double girder layout provides a stronger, more adaptable crane platform that can be matched to the site, the load and the production cycle.
- Energy-efficient motors help reduce operating costs
- Variable speed drives give smooth acceleration and braking for improved load control
- Overload protection and PLC cut-off options
- Flame, chemical and corrosion-retardant materials available for demanding environments
Designed for quality, engineered to last
Installation and commissioning
Zentro plans installation around site constraints, then commissions the crane for safe industrial operation. Method statements, inspections and statutory load testing are handled in line with OHS requirements.
- Site assessment and installation planning
- Commissioning for safe industrial operation
- OHS-compliant load testing
- After-sales support and spares
