Top running single girder or double girder cranes offer significant benefits for industrial, commercial, and manufacturing facilities. Both types of cranes contribute to streamlined workflows, improved productivity, and enhanced safety standards. Whether maximizing floor space or tackling heavy-duty tasks, the choice between single and double girder cranes depends on the specific needs of the facility, ensuring a tailored and efficient material handling solution.

As pioneers in the industry, we continue to contribute to the success of businesses by delivering cutting-edge construction solutions that stand the test of time. From new builds to renovations, equipment moving to facility relocations, and everything in between, we’ve got you covered.
The top-running single girder bridge crane is ideal for applications where space is a concern, providing a compact and cost-effective solution for efficient material handling. It is suitable for moderate load capacities and facilitates precise movement within limited workspaces. Double girder cranes offer superior stability and increased load-bearing capacity, making them ideal for handling large and heavy materials.
Top Running Single Girder Cranes
A top-running single girder material handler is a type of overhead crane designed for efficient material handling in various industrial settings. It consists of a single horizontal bridge beam/girder that runs along the top of the crane structure on two beams.
This design allows for optimal use of space within a facility while providing reliable lifting and movement capabilities. Top running cranes often have lifting capabilities much larger than under running cranes, but need more structural support.
While the girder runs along the guide rails, the hoist and trolley system runs along the girder, giving you full control over where materials are lifted and then placed. The key advantage of a top-running single girder crane is its ability to handle heavy loads with precision and consistency. The single girder design reduces the overall weight of the crane, making it a cost-effective solution without compromising performance.
Storee Construction commonly installs these cranes in manufacturing plants, warehouses, and other industrial environments where the need for vertical lifting and horizontal movement of materials is crucial. This combination of vertical and horizontal mobility enhances the crane’s versatility, allowing it to efficiently transport materials within the designated workspace.
These material handlers are known for their durability, ease of maintenance, and safety standards. They play a vital role in streamlining logistical processes, optimizing workflow, and ultimately contributing to increased productivity in industrial operations.
Top Running Double Girder Cranes
A top-running double girder material handler is designed for robust and heavy-duty material handling applications in industrial settings. It features two horizontal beams, or girders, positioned on top of the crane structure, providing enhanced load-bearing capacity, stability, and added lift height.
The dual girder configuration of this material handler contributes to its superior strength and durability. The increased load capacity makes it suitable for handling larger and heavier materials in sectors such as manufacturing, construction, and heavy industry. The crane’s structural integrity allows it to accommodate high-duty cycles and demanding operational conditions.
The double girder crane system operates the same way as the single girder, moving loads forward and backward and left to right, offering versatile material movement capabilities. This combination of features enables precise positioning and transportation of materials within the designated workspace.
But they can cover a wider span, providing extensive coverage for material handling operations. This makes it particularly useful in facilities where there is a need to reach various points across a much larger area and much heavier loads.
Expert Installation
Storee Construction reviews your current floor plan and will design a material handling area that best suits your needs with either a single or double girder crane, including supporting columns, ceiling trusses, or roof structure. We’ll increase productivity and efficiency as well as take into account the most important job of all–safety. We work around your schedule, so downtime is kept to a minimum.
In addition to top running cranes, we also install under running cranes, monorail systems, jib and gantry cranes, and other material handlers to help with your material handling needs. Need to upgrade other aspects of your plant? We offer a variety of production upgrades to make your plant more efficient, improve productivity, and increase safety.
Designing a new plant or retrofitting an existing building structure? Storee Construction will engineer an installation plan that works in either case, making recommendations for changes or additions to help with efficiency. Let us put our decades of experience to work for you.
