Weihua’s product line of single-girder, double-girder, and European-style bridge cranes is extensive, offering models that range from standard single-girder units to European-style double-girder systems. Below is a summary of key specifications for each product type to help you select the right model based on your specific requirements.
Weihua's single-girder
overhead crane primarily fall into two series—the New Chinese-style electric single-girder and the HD-type European-style single-girder—both of which feature lightweight designs and low headroom requirements.

The HD-type European-style single-girder
overhead crane is positioned to meet world-class standards; it features a "three-in-one" variable-frequency drive system that ensures smooth operation and precise positioning, making it ideal for workshops with specific requirements regarding headroom and precision.
Additionally, for applications requiring explosion protection, the LXB-series explosion-proof electric single-girder crane is available. It offers a lifting capacity of 1–20 tons and an explosion-proof rating of Exd II BT4/CT4, making it suitable for flammable and explosive environments such as those found in the chemical and petroleum industries.
A wide range of double-girder options is available, spanning from standard hoist-type models to European-standard winch-type models.
Hoist-Type Double-Girder Overhead Crane (Model LH)
This is a classic light-to-medium-duty double-girder crane from Weihua, designed for use with CD1/MD1
electric hoists. Its profile height (from the crane rail to the highest point) is lower than that of the QD model, making it particularly suitable for retrofitting older factory buildings or applications with limited headroom. Lifting capacity: 5–20 t; span: 7.5–25.5 m.
New European-Standard Hoist Double-Girder
overhead craneDesigned in accordance with European FEM standards, this model offers a lifting capacity of 5–50 t and a span of 10.5–31.5 m. It features a modular design that simplifies transport and installation, ensures smooth operation, and provides high positioning accuracy.
New European-Standard Winch Double-Girder
overhead craneThis is the "heavy-duty" model in the European-standard series, with lifting capacities ranging from 5 t up to 800 t (customization required for high-tonnage units). Spans range from 13.5 to 31.5 m, with flexible main and auxiliary hook configurations (e.g., 16/5 t, 32/5 t, 50/10 t). Its compact dimensions help reduce factory construction costs.
European-Style Double-Girder Bridge Crane (General Overview)
Weihua’s standard specifications for this category are: lifting capacity 10–125 t, span 12–35 m, lifting height 8–40 m, and duty class A5–A8. These cranes utilize Q355B high-strength steel and feature stepless variable-frequency speed control. With an overall height as low as 1200–2800 mm, they are highly suitable for environments with limited headroom.
Double-Girder Bridge Crane
How to choose the right overhead crane: key factors to consider
Consider headroom and facility conditions: For older factories with low headroom, prioritize LH-type double-girder hoist cranes or HD-type European-style single-girder cranes; their compact trolley dimensions maximize available hook height.
Consider duty class and usage frequency: Classes A3–A5 are suitable for standard workshops and warehouses; however, for frequent daily use or continuous heavy-load operations, consider A6–A8 European-style double-girder cranes with winch hoists.
Consider explosion-proof requirements: Facilities such as chemical plants and oil refineries require explosion-proof models; Weihua offers options like the LXB explosion-proof single-girder crane and the QB explosion-proof double-girder crane.
Bridge crane/
overhead crane price: For the same tonnage, prices vary based on type and specifications—European-style models cost more than traditional Chinese-style ones, double-girder cranes cost more than single-girder ones, and explosion-proof or metallurgical models cost more than standard ones. Prices also change significantly with each increase in span or lifting height.
