Overhead cranes engineered around your site, your loads and your duty cycle
At Granada Cranes we design and manufacture overhead gantry crane systems tailored to your specific business needs. Our overhead cranes combine innovative engineering, smart electronic controls and robust box girder construction, delivering precise, safe and efficient lifting from light-duty workshop tasks to heavy industrial applications.
Every crane system can be free-standing, mounted to existing structures or integrated into a new building, and is supported for life with installation, LOLER thorough examination and nationwide servicing.
Single girder or double girder overhead crane?
The right configuration depends on your capacity, span, headroom and how hard the crane will work.
Single girder overhead cranes
Ideal for light to medium-duty lifting, custom-designed to fit your workspace, with low-headroom hoists for maximum lift heights and lifting speeds up to 8 metres per minute.
Explore single girder cranesDouble girder overhead cranes
Superior strength and stability for the toughest industrial applications, with standard or open barrel hoists, built for durability, reliability and long-term performance.
Explore double girder cranes| Single girder | Double girder | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Light to medium-duty lifting | Heavy-duty, high duty-cycle industrial lifting |
| Capacity | Up to 10 tonnes | Up to 60 tonnes |
| Span | Up to 25 metres | Up to 32 metres |
| Lift height | Up to 13 metres with low-headroom hoists | Up to 13 metres, bespoke options available |
| Hoist options | Low-headroom hoists, lifting speeds up to 8 m/min | Standard or open barrel hoists, SWL up to 150 tonnes |
| Construction | Box girder fabrication for strength, longer spans and fewer supports; free-standing, structure-mounted or integrated into new buildings | |
