Single or Double Girder Crane
A common misconception is that double girder bridge cranes are more
durable.

Based on the CMAA (Crane Manufacturers Association of America)
specifications, both single and double girder cranes are equally rigid,
strong, and durable. This is because single girder cranes use much
stronger cross girders than double girder cranes, and single girder cranes
have lateral bracing.
The Difference is in the Hook Height
The principle difference between single and double girder cranes is hook
height (how far above the floor your hoist will lift). Double girder cranes
provide better hook height.Double girders typically allow 18-36 inches
higher lift.
Double girder cranes can provide more lift, because the hoist is placed
between the cross girders rather than under them. Therefore, the depth of
the cross girder is gained in switching to double girders.
Cost Considerations

Single girder cranes may cost less for several reasons:






Only one cross girder is required
The trolley is simpler
Fright expenses are reduced
Installation is faster
Runway beams are lighter

However, not all cranes should be designed with a single girder...
?????
Single girder cranes have been built in spans over 100 feet
and capacities of over 100 tons but typically cost effective
engineering dictates that single girder cranes be considered
as per the chart.
Ultra Low Headroom (ULH) trolleys
Double girder cranes typically have the hoist and trolley riding on top of
the cross girders. As an option, we can provide a trolley that rides
between the cross girders. This may be appropriate if: maximum hook
height is required
your cross girders, as well as your hoist, must be the maximum height
above the floor you must minimize the distance above your runway beam
you need the crane to be more compact
