Single Girder Rubber Tyred Gantry Crane

What is this?

The single girder rubber tyred gantry crane is a versatile, wheel-mounted material handling crane designed for outdoor yards, warehouses, and light industrial sites. Featuring a single box-section main girder and rubber-tyred travel mechanisms, it eliminates the need for fixed rail tracks, offering exceptional mobility and flexibility. Equipped with either a hook, grab, or container spreader, it can handle a wide variety of cargo types – from steel coils and concrete pipes to general bulk materials and containers. If you are operating a logistics park, a construction material yard, a precast concrete plant, or a steel service center, and need a cost-effective, mobile lifting solution that can move freely around the site without being restricted by fixed rails, this product is designed for you.

Why choose a single girder rubber tyred gantry crane over a double girder rubber tyred gantry crane?

Compared to double girder rubber tyred gantry cranes, the single girder solution offers four core advantages:

First, lower initial investment – the single girder design reduces steel structure weight by approximately 30% – 40%, significantly lowering manufacturing costs and purchase price.

Second, lighter dead weight – with less structural mass, the single girder crane places less stress on the rubber tires and suspension systems, extending tire service life and reducing wear.

Third, lower energy consumption – the lighter overall weight means smaller motors and less power required for both lifting and traveling operations, resulting in lower daily operating costs.

Fourth, easier maintenance – with fewer structural components and simpler girder construction, inspection and maintenance are more straightforward, reducing downtime and labor costs.

If your operation does not require extremely heavy lifting capacities (above 32 tons) or very wide spans (above 35 meters), the single girder rubber tyred gantry crane offers the most cost-effective balance of performance and affordability.

What can we do for you? We understand that every yard has different cargo types, different space constraints, and different operational budgets. Therefore, we offer flexible customization options: lifting capacity from 3 tons to 32 tons (up to 50 tons for special applications); span from 10 meters to 35 meters; lifting height from 3 meters to 12 meters; wheel configurations of 4-wheel, 8-wheel, or 16-wheel options depending on capacity and ground conditions; control options of cabin control, wired remote pendant, or wireless radio remote; power supply options of diesel generator set, cable reel, or battery pack; spreader options of hook, C-hook (for coils), grabs (for bulk materials), or container spreaders (for ISO containers).

Whether your yard handles steel coils, precast concrete beams, timber logs, or general cargo, we can match the most suitable capacity, span, and lifting height for your specific needs.
