Double Girder, Gantry, Single Girder Cranes, Electric Hoists | HE NAN MINE CRANE
Few pieces of industrial equipment shape a production line as decisively as the overhead lifting system that moves raw material, semi-finished parts and finished loads from one bay to the next. HE NAN MINE CRANE CO.,LTD has spent decades building exactly that kind of equipment, and today its catalogue covers the four pillars of modern material handling: the double girder crane (双梁起重机), the gantry crane (门式起重机), the single girder crane (单梁起重机) and the electric hoist (电动葫芦). Because the company manufactures its own core components rather than assembling third-party parts, every machine leaving the factory carries a consistent quality signature that buyers in metallurgy, aerospace, shipbuilding, energy, cement and general manufacturing have learned to rely on. A single supplier for the crane bridge, the travelling mechanism, the hoisting unit and the control system also means fewer interface problems on site, faster commissioning and one point of accountability when service is needed years later. That integrated approach is the reason procurement teams increasingly treat HE NAN MINE CRANE as a long-term partner instead of a one-off vendor. Visitors who want the quickest orientation can start from the
HOME page, which summarises the intelligent, green lifting solutions the company now delivers worldwide.
The company's factory base was built around a simple conviction: lifting equipment should be engineered once, to the highest standard, and then adapted to the customer's duty cycle rather than compromised to fit a catalogue. That conviction shows up in the production statistics on the
ABOUT USpage, which describes a large workforce, an extensive covered production area and a corporate history that stretches back through several generations of crane manufacturing. Certifications including ISO quality management and CE conformity for export markets are treated as entry requirements rather than selling points. Product families are designed to international duty classifications, so a crane specified for a European plant performs identically to one specified for a Southeast Asian steel mill. Global reach is supported by documentation in multiple languages, spare-part logistics and remote technical assistance. The result is a portfolio broad enough to serve a small workshop and heavy enough to equip a complete port terminal.
Double Girder Cranes (双梁起重机): Heavy-Duty Lifting Built Around Two Load Paths
A double girder crane (双梁起重机) carries its trolley on top of two parallel box girders instead of underneath a single beam, and that single structural decision changes everything about the machine's capability. Because the load sits above the bridge rather than below it, the hook can be raised to a greater height within the same building, which is invaluable when vertical clearance is limited but lifting height is not. The two-girder arrangement also distributes bending and torsional stress more evenly, giving the structure far greater stiffness and resistance to fatigue under frequent heavy lifts. Capacities typically begin around 5 tons and extend well beyond 500 tons, with spans engineered to the exact width of the customer's bay. Duty classifications range from moderate A5 service through continuous A8 duty for foundries and steel plants that never stop. The result is a crane that tolerates shock loading, high cycle counts and hostile environments without losing precision.
HE NAN MINE CRANE builds its double girder cranes in both traditional and European-style configurations, so buyers can choose between maximum robustness and minimum dead weight according to their priorities. The European-style design uses high-strength steel and compact, modular components to reduce wheel loads, which can lower the cost of the runway structure itself. Standard safety equipment includes overload limiters, dual braking on the hoisting mechanism, anti-collision and anti-sway control, limit switches on every travel direction and emergency stop circuits wired to international standards. Variable-frequency drives are used on long travel, cross travel and hoisting, producing smooth acceleration that protects both the load and the building. Operators benefit from an ergonomic cabin or radio remote control, while maintenance teams benefit from accessible lubrication points and diagnostic displays. Detailed model options and capacity tables are published on the
PRODUCTS page.
Gantry Cranes (门式起重机): Indoor, Outdoor and Everywhere the Runway Runs Out
A gantry crane replaces the elevated runway with legs that stand on the ground, turning an open yard, quay or storage field into a fully serviced lifting area. The design family is broad: full gantry cranes carry the load on two load-bearing legs, semi-gantry cranes use one leg and one elevated rail where a wall-mounted track is available, rail-mounted units travel on fixed tracks for repetitive high-precision duty, and rubber-tired gantry cranes steer freely around stockyards and container blocks. Because no building structure is required to carry the load, a gantry crane can be installed in locations where an overhead crane would demand expensive civil works. Span, lifting height, cantilever length and hoisting speed are all engineered to the site, and the machines can be configured for single or double girder construction. This flexibility explains why gantry cranes appear in ports, container terminals, precast concrete yards, railway depots, hydropower stations and construction sites simultaneously.
For heavy outdoor duty, HE NAN MINE CRANE supplies double girder gantry cranes with capacities that reach several hundred tons, hoisting heights that exceed 30 metres and spans that comfortably cover multiple rail lines or stacking lanes. Structural steel is protected by multi-layer surface treatment suited to coastal salt spray or industrial atmospheres, and travel drives are specified with storm anchors, rail clamps and wind-speed monitoring for safe parking. Electrical rooms are sealed and climate-controlled, while festoon or cable-reel systems keep power and control cabling protected during travel. Optional features include rotating trolleys for container handling, load-sensing anti-sway algorithms, camera-assisted positioning and full remote operation. Many of these configurations are documented through real projects on the
CASE page, where applications in metallurgy, aerospace and water conservancy illustrate how the standard platform is adapted to unusual demands.
Single Girder Cranes (单梁起重机): Lightweight Economy Without Sacrificing Reliability
A single girder crane (单梁起重机) uses one box beam with a hoist travelling beneath the lower flange, which keeps the overall structure light, compact and considerably less expensive than a double girder machine. Lower dead weight translates directly into lower wheel loads, so the supporting structure and runway rails cost less to build — a decisive advantage for workshops that are being retrofitted rather than newly constructed. Installation is faster because fewer components must be assembled at height, and commissioning usually takes days rather than weeks. Standard capacity ranges from 1 to 20 tons with spans commonly between 7 and 30 metres, which covers the overwhelming majority of light and medium-duty lifting tasks. Maintenance is simple by design: the hoist, the end carriages and the control panel are all accessible from the floor or from a short service platform. Energy consumption is modest because there is less mass to accelerate and decelerate on every cycle.
HE NAN MINE CRANE engineers its single girder range with options that let buyers fine-tune the machine to the building rather than the other way round. Low-headroom trolleys maximise available lifting height in older factories with shallow roofs, while rotating hoists and double-rail configurations improve hook approach for awkward load shapes. Anti-sway control, soft-start travel and variable-speed hoisting are available so that delicate or high-value parts move without shock. For clean environments such as food processing, electronics or pharmaceutical production, dust-tight and corrosion-resistant finishes can be specified. Where production volumes grow, the same platform can be upgraded with a second beam and a heavier trolley, protecting the original investment. The automation and quality systems behind these machines are described in detail on the
Equipment Superiority page.
Electric Hoists (电动葫芦): The Compact Engine Inside Every Good Crane
An electric hoist (电动葫芦) is the lifting mechanism itself — a self-contained unit that combines motor, reducer, drum or chain wheel, brake and hook into one compact package. Two families dominate the market: wire rope hoists for higher capacities and greater lifting heights, and chain hoists for smaller loads, precise positioning and low headroom. Within each family, duty ratings separate light intermittent service from heavy continuous work, and the choice of rating determines motor insulation class, brake type and cooling arrangement. Modern hoists are modular, which means the same basic frame accepts different drums, gearboxes and control interfaces for different applications. They can be mounted on an overhead crane, a gantry crane, a monorail system or a fixed workstation jib. That versatility is precisely why the electric hoist is the most widely deployed lifting device in industrial production today.
HE NAN MINE CRANE manufactures its own motors, reducers, gear couplings, cables and wheels rather than purchasing them on the open market, an industrial chain strategy described on the
Industrial Chain Advantagespage. Self-production gives the company direct control over metallurgy, machining tolerance and heat treatment, which in turn produces hoists with predictable service life and traceable quality records. The catalogue spans an unusually wide capacity band, from roughly 100 kilograms for light workshop duty up to around 100 tons for heavy lifting, with explosion-proof, low-temperature and dust-proof variants available for specialised industries. Standard features include thermal protection, upper and lower limit switches, emergency braking and IP-rated enclosures. Because the components are shared across product families, spare parts remain available for years after delivery. For buyers, the practical benefit is a lifting system that can be expanded or modified without changing suppliers.
Why Choose HE NAN MINE CRANE?
Manufacturing capability is the first and most obvious reason. The company operates automated production lines that include robotic welding stations, CNC machining centres and intelligent assembly cells, which reduce variation between units and shorten lead times without lowering specification. Quality control is layered rather than sampled: incoming steel is verified, weld seams are inspected, gearboxes are run-in on test benches, and complete cranes are function-tested before dispatch. Research and development is treated as a permanent programme rather than a project, supported by a technical team, joint laboratories, a 1200-ton crane test bench and a structured innovation initiative. The
R&D Superiority page explains how these resources translate into lighter structures, smarter controls and longer service intervals. Together, the equipment and the engineering create a product that competes on total cost of ownership rather than purchase price alone.
Service is the second reason customers return. Every order begins with a technical review of the duty cycle, the building geometry, the load profile and the local safety regulations, so the quotation describes a machine that will actually fit the site. Customisation extends to span, capacity, lifting height, travel speed, control voltage, colour and documentation language. After delivery, the company supports installation supervision, operator training, scheduled maintenance programmes and a worldwide spare-parts network. Certifications such as ISO and CE are maintained continuously, and test reports are provided with the equipment. Long-term customers frequently cite response speed and technical honesty as the reasons they place repeat orders. New buyers can begin the conversation through the
CONTACT US page, where engineering staff review requirements before a formal quotation is issued.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between a double girder crane and a single girder crane?
A double girder crane supports the trolley on top of two parallel box girders, giving greater lifting height, higher capacity and better resistance to heavy continuous duty. A single girder crane uses one beam with the hoist running beneath it, making the machine lighter, cheaper and faster to install. Choose the double girder design for capacities above roughly 20 tons, frequent lifting cycles or minimal hook approach requirements. Choose the single girder design for light to medium duty, limited budgets and standard workshop handling.
How do I decide between an overhead crane and a gantry crane?
An overhead crane runs on a runway carried by the building structure, so it requires a suitable factory hall and leaves the floor completely clear. A gantry crane stands on its own legs, which makes it the natural choice for outdoor yards, quays, precast sites and buildings that cannot carry runway loads. If your site has no adequate roof structure but plenty of ground space, a rail-mounted or rubber-tired gantry crane is usually the more economical solution. If the hall already exists with a designed runway, an overhead crane normally delivers more lifting height per dollar.
What capacity range does HE NAN MINE CRANE offer for electric hoists?
The electric hoist range runs from approximately 100 kilograms for light workstation duty up to about 100 tons for heavy industrial lifting. Wire rope hoists cover the higher capacities and greater hook heights, while chain hoists handle smaller loads with low headroom and precise positioning. Specialised versions are available for explosion-proof environments, low-temperature operation and dusty or corrosive conditions. Because motors, reducers and drums are produced in-house, custom capacities can be engineered against a specific duty cycle.
What duty classification should I specify for my double girder crane?
Duty classification describes how intensively the crane will work and how heavily it will be loaded, typically expressed as a class from A5 through A8. A5 suits intermittent handling in general manufacturing, while A8 is intended for continuous, near-constant operation such as foundry charging or steel mill service. Specifying a class heavier than necessary raises cost, but specifying a lighter class than the real workload shortens structural and mechanism life. The honest approach is to share your actual shift pattern, average load and daily lift count so the manufacturer can match the class to reality.
Can a single girder crane be installed in an existing building with limited headroom?
Yes, and this is one of the strongest arguments for the single girder crane in retrofit projects. Low-headroom trolleys reduce the distance between the beam top and the hook, recovering lifting height that a conventional design would consume. Rotating hoists and alternative end carriages can further improve hook approach at the extremities of the span. Where the roof structure is too shallow for any top-running solution, a workstation or jib configuration may be the better answer. An engineering review of the building drawing usually resolves the question quickly.
What safety features are standard on a gantry crane?
Standard safety equipment on a gantry crane includes overload protection, dual braking on the hoisting mechanism, limit switches for all travel directions and emergency stop circuits. Outdoor machines add rail clamps, storm anchors and wind-speed monitoring so that the crane can be parked safely during high winds. Anti-collision systems protect against contact with adjacent cranes or end stops, and anti-sway control keeps loads stable during fast travel. Additional features such as camera-assisted positioning and load display are available for container and heavy fabrication duty.
How long does installation and commissioning normally take?
Installation time depends on machine size, site access and whether the runway already exists. A single girder crane with a light electric hoist can often be erected and commissioned within a few days, while a large gantry crane may take several weeks including foundations and rail alignment. Factory testing before dispatch removes most surprises and shortens on-site work considerably. HE NAN MINE CRANE supports installation supervision and operator training so that the transition to productive operation is smooth. A realistic schedule is always agreed during the technical review stage.
Does HE NAN MINE CRANE supply spare parts and after-sales service internationally?
Yes, the company maintains a worldwide spare-parts and service capability built around standardised components. Because core items such as motors, reducers, gear couplings, cables and wheels are produced in-house, replacement parts remain consistent with the original specification for many years. Service support includes remote diagnosis, scheduled maintenance programmes, on-site technical assistance and operator refresher training. Documentation is supplied in the customer's preferred language where required. This continuity is a major reason international buyers treat the company as a long-term supplier rather than a transactional vendor.
How do electric hoists improve the overall efficiency of a lifting system?
An electric hoist is compact and modular, so it adds very little dead weight to the structure it hangs from. Lower dead weight reduces wheel loads, energy consumption and runway wear, which lowers operating cost across the life of the installation. Modular construction also allows the hoist to be upgraded or replaced without rebuilding the whole crane. Fast, smooth hoisting with soft-start control shortens cycle times and protects delicate loads. In practice, a well-specified hoist is the single component that most directly determines day-to-day productivity.
How can I get a quotation for a double girder, gantry, single girder crane or electric hoist?
