Single Girder EOT Cranes
Single-beam electric overhead travelling cranes up to 25 tonnes, spans up to 45 m, in top-running and under-slung configurations — designed to IS 3177, IS 807 & IS 4137 and manufactured in-house at Surat.
The most economical EOT crane for light to medium-duty lifting.
The Single Girder EOT Crane is built on one welded box-girder bridge carried by two end carriages running on elevated runway rails, with a wire rope hoist that traverses the span while the bridge travels along the building. Its compact, modular construction keeps deadweight and runway loads low — a lower installation and civil cost, and a shorter lead time, than a double-girder crane.
LOADMATE manufactures single-girder cranes up to 25 tonnes, spans up to 45 m, lift heights up to 100 m, designed and certified to IS 3177 (EOT cranes), IS 807 (structural design) and IS 4137 (heavy-duty). Every component — girder, gearbox, motor, brake, panel — is selected for industrial duty cycles, and every crane is load-tested at 125% of SWL before dispatch.

What comes built in as standard.
Every LOADMATE single-girder crane ships with the following as standard scope.
Optional upgrades & add-ons.
Specify any of the following to match your duty, environment and safety requirements.
Why a LOADMATE single girder.
Most economical EOT
The lightest, lowest first-cost overhead crane configuration for light to medium-duty lifting.
Low deadweight
Lighter bridge means lower runway, column and civil-foundation cost than a double girder.
Faster lead time
Fewer components and simpler fabrication — quicker to build and install.
Modular & serviceable
Rope drum, gearbox, motor, brake and panel are all easily accessible for maintenance.
Smooth, precise handling
VFD drives give soft start/stop and anti-sway — less load sway and less stress on the structure.
Engineered to your bay
Custom span, lift height, duty class, control and environment — built to your drawing.
Built & tested in-house
Design, fabrication, hoist, wiring, painting and 125% load-testing all under one roof at Surat.
Pan-India install & service
Erection, commissioning and a responsive service team across India, plus spares support.

Single Girder EOT Crane — technical questions.
What is a Single Girder EOT Crane?
An electric overhead travelling crane with one main bridge girder supported by two end carriages running on elevated runway rails. The hoist hangs below or on top of the single beam, moves across the span, and the whole bridge travels along the building length — the lightest, most economical EOT configuration, used for light to medium-duty handling up to 25 tonnes.
What is the maximum lifting capacity?
LOADMATE single-girder cranes handle up to 25 tonnes (25,000 kg), spans up to 45 m and lift heights up to 100 m, in duty classes M1 to M8. Beyond 25 t a double-girder configuration is recommended for structural stability and longer service life.
What duty class is it suitable for?
Duty classes M5 (medium — regular operation), M7 (heavy — continuous) and M8 (extra-heavy) per IS 807, IS 3177 and IS 4137. M5 covers most general manufacturing; M7 / M8 are available for select capacities with reinforced design — confirm your duty cycle with our engineers.
Top-Running or Under-Slung — what is the difference?
A top-running single girder runs on top of the runway rails on building columns, giving full lift height (standard for new construction). An under-slung single girder hangs from the roof structure with the bridge below the rails — ideal for retrofit in existing buildings without dedicated columns. LOADMATE manufactures both.
Single Girder vs Double Girder — which should I choose?
Choose single girder for loads up to 20 t, typical span up to ~22 m and light-to-medium duty — cheaper, faster and lighter on columns. Choose double girder above 20 t, spans beyond ~25 m, greater lift height, an operator cab, an auxiliary hoist or heavy continuous duty (M7 / M8).
Is it suitable for indoor or outdoor use?
Primarily indoor, running on building-mounted runway beams. With weatherproofing — sealed motors, anti-corrosion paint, weatherproof enclosures and IP-rated electricals — it can be specified for outdoor use. Confirm the operating environment in your RFQ.
Can it be customised to my workspace?
Yes — span, lift height, headroom, duty class, control system, voltage and environment are all configurable, with options such as flame-proof construction, radio remote, shrouded DSL, soft starter and special hooks. Send your site dimensions and load profile for a configured drawing and quote.
What are the standard motion speeds?
Typical two-speed values are around 6/1 m/min hoisting, 20/5 m/min cross-travel and 20/5 m/min long-travel; stepless VFD drives are available for finer control. Final speeds are set to your capacity and duty class.
Is the crane tested and certified?
Yes. Every crane is designed to IS 3177, IS 807 and IS 4137, load-tested at 125% of rated capacity before dispatch and re-tested on site during commissioning, with the test certificate issued at handover.
