Double-girder overhead cranes: efficiency and power in industrial lifting
Double-girder overhead cranes are one of the most reliable and high-performance solutions in the industrial lifting industry. Designed to maximize operating space, they allow even large loads to be handled with extreme precision and safety. When production needs require a system capable of covering large work areas, ensuring stability, control, and high load capacity, a double-girder overhead crane is the ideal choice. Valtorta Raising, a company with over fifty years of experience in the sector, creates custom systems, adapted to the technical and logistical specifications of every industrial context, from steel mills to machine shops.
Technical characteristics of double-girder overhead cranes
Valtorta Raising double-girder overhead cranes stand out for their structural strength, long-term reliability, and versatility. The range covers capacities from 500 to 50,000 kg and spans up to 25 meters, offering suitable solutions for both medium-sized production facilities and large industrial warehouses. Lifting speeds range from 0.5 to 24 m/min, while the bridge travels up to 40 m/min, ensuring smooth and precise movements. Each system can be customized with a hoist or winch, depending on operational requirements and the type of load being handled. All structures are sandblasted and painted with anti-corrosion treatments and high-resistance enamels, while the mechanical components are protected by a layer of lubricant to ensure their longevity. Valtorta winches cover capacities from 6 to 50 tons and are entirely manufactured in-house, including key parts such as drums, wheels, and gears, thus ensuring complete quality control and seamless integration with the lifting system.
Advantages and applications in the industrial sector
Installing a double-girder overhead crane maximizes productivity and reduces manual intervention during handling operations. The ability to reach every point of the work area, even in multiple connected warehouses, makes this system ideal for environments where efficiency and operational safety are top priorities. Thanks to the combination of technology, advanced design, and premium materials, Valtorta Raising guarantees consistent performance even in the most demanding working conditions. Double-girder cranes are used in steel mills, mechanical plants, metal handling companies, and industrial logistics, where handling heavy loads requires customized, electronically controlled solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is it better to choose a double-girder overhead crane over a single-girder one?
The double-girder crane is recommended when high load capacities, wide spans or greater stability of the overhead crane are required, ensuring less bending and greater precision in movements.
Can Valtorta Raising double-girder overhead cranes be customized?
Yes, each system is custom-designed, with configurations adapted to specific spaces, loads, and operating cycles.
What are the main maintenance requirements for a double-girder crane?
We recommend periodic checks of lifting and travel systems and electrical components, as well as checking the lubrication and condition of the structures.
Is it possible to install remote controls or automatic systems?
Of course. Valtorta Raising cranes can integrate radio controls and self-diagnostic functions, increasing safety and operational efficiency.
What is the average lifespan of a double-girder overhead crane?
With regular maintenance and proper use, a Valtorta Raising crane can operate efficiently for decades, maintaining consistent performance over time.
