Single-girder overhead crane for industrial lifting

Single-girder overhead cranes are one of the most versatile and reliable solutions for moving loads within production facilities, warehouses, and industrial workshops. Designed to maximize available space, these cranes operate anywhere within the covered area and can also transfer loads between adjacent warehouses. Choosing a Valtorta overhead crane means choosing a product born from experience and ongoing technical research in the field of mechanical lifting and transport, where safety and construction quality are paramount. Each system is built to ensure high performance, minimal maintenance, and maximum durability, offering a perfect balance between efficiency and structural solidity.

Technical features and operational advantages

The Valtorta single-girder overhead crane is available in a range of capacities from 500 to 10,000 kg, with spans up to 25 meters, adapting to a variety of production needs. Each structure is sandblasted and coated with a rust-proof and protective enamel, ensuring long-lasting durability even in harsh environments. Operating speeds are calibrated to ensure precision and speed: lifting speeds vary from 0.5 m/min to 24 m/min, bridge travel from 10 to 40 m/min, and carriage travel from 15 to 25 m/min. These features make the crane ideal for continuous and safe movements, even in small or complex spaces. Each model can be controlled from the ground via a pendant control panel or radio remote control, allowing the operator to manage the lifting operation in complete safety, without having to approach the load. Thanks to an optimised design and robust construction, single-girder cranes guarantee reduced energy consumption, low maintenance requirements and a longevity above the industry average.
