CLEANROOM CRANES

On a single girder crane, the bridge consists of one girder beam supported on each side by an end truck. The trolley and hoist are most commonly underhung—meaning they run on the bottom flange of the bridge. The bridge itself can either be top running or under running in design.

Advantages of Single Girder Cleanroom Cranes

• Less expensive due to a simpler trolley design, reduced freight costs, simplified and faster installation, and less material for the bridge and runway beams

• Most economical option for light to medium-duty cranes

• Lighter load on runway rails or beams means less wear on the beams and end truck wheels over time

• Great for facilities with low headroom

• Hygienic Design: Like double girder cranes, single girder cleanroom cranes are made from non-shedding materials, have smooth surfaces for easy cleaning, and often use cleanroom-specific lubricants or sealed components to prevent contamination.

Single girder cleanroom cranes offer several advantages in environments that require high levels of cleanliness, such as pharmaceutical, semiconductor, and food processing.

• Semiconductor industry

The high-end semiconductor market demands precise lifting solutions for both light and heavy components at the molecular and atomic levels. This sector faces stringent regulations and relies on single girder cleanroom cranes, with a strong focus on reducing contamination from unwanted particles and gases.

• Pharmaceutical industry

Whether producing medication or medical devices, high-quality single girder cleanroom cranes made with Class A components help minimize the spread of particles and contamination. These cranes feature smooth, easy-to-clean surfaces, and coatings with silver ions to inhibit the growth of microorganisms and bacteria. They operate quietly and with precision, ensuring a controlled and sterile environment for pharmaceutical applications.

• Food processing industry

Extremely hygienic single girder cleanroom cranes are designed to minimize the formation of microorganisms, leaving behind very few particles and causing negligible contamination.  Their functional design is nearly devoid of surfaces, cracks, openings, and hollow spaces, significantly reducing the risk of contamination. This design helps ensure compliance with the stringent requirements of the food processing industry.
