Overhead Cranes
15 Ton Crane Solutions
Four ways to put 15 tons on a hook, chosen by how wide the bay is and how hard the crane works.
Product Overview
Four ways to put 15 tons on a hook, chosen by how wide the bay is and how hard the crane works. A European single girder covers spans to 36 metres and capacities to 16 tons; light and winch double beam overhead cranes cover spans to 49 metres; a gantry crane covers outdoor spans to 50 metres where no runway steel exists. All four share the same control options and the same frequency converter drive.
Key benefits
Why Buyers Choose This Specification
Single Girder Where the Building Allows It
Up to 16 tons and 36 metres of span, a European single girder does the work of a double beam with less dead weight on the runway. On an existing building that is often the difference between reusing the steel and rebuilding it.
Gantry Option for Yards With No Runway
Where the lift happens outdoors or in a leased shed, the 15 ton duty can be carried on a gantry spanning up to 50 metres instead of on building steel that does not exist.
One Speed Range Across the Family
Lifting speed is 0.4-16 m/min on the single girder, light overhead and gantry builds, and 0.4-20 m/min on the winch build. Operators moving between cranes in the same plant see the same behaviour.
Capacity Headroom Without a New Frame
The light overhead frame family is rated 5 to 100 tons and the winch family 5 to 360 tons. If the duty grows after installation, the upgrade path is inside the same design rather than a new crane.
Application scenarios
Where It Is Used
- Shipbuilding yards handling sections and sub-assemblies
- Mining operations moving machinery and bulk material
- Power plants handling turbines, transformers and spare components
- Steel plants and general manufacturing moving stock between stations
- General construction sites lifting materials into position
- Port and outdoor warehouse operations where a gantry replaces a runway
Who it is for
The Buyers This Product Suits
Plants With a Span Between 36 and 50 Metres
This is exactly the band where the choice between single girder, double beam and gantry changes the price significantly. All four are quoted so the comparison is visible.
Shipbuilding and Heavy Fabrication
Long sections need span more than they need capacity. The double beam builds reach 49 metres and the gantry reaches 50.
Operations Adding a Second Crane
Matching control format and speed range to an existing crane keeps operator training and spares common across both.
Problems it solves
What It Fixes
A Span Too Wide for Single Girder
Above 36 metres the single girder stops being the economical answer. The double beam builds take over to 49 metres without changing hoist or control.
No Runway Steel to Hang a Crane From
Leased buildings and outdoor yards often cannot carry a runway. A 15 ton gantry to 50 metres removes that dependency.
Comparing Quotes That Are Not Comparable
Four configurations quoted against one duty makes the trade-off between span, capacity and cost explicit instead of hidden in one price.

Handling guide
Getting It Right First Time
Step 1
Fix the span first: below 36 metres consider the European single girder, above it use a double beam or gantry.
Step 2
Decide indoor or outdoor, because that usually decides overhead versus gantry before anything else.
Step 3
State the number of lifts per shift so the light and winch builds can be compared on duty rather than on capacity.
Step 4
Confirm control preference, since wireless remote, cab control and handheld are available on all four.
Step 5
Check the floor or runway can accept the wheel loads before the design is frozen.
Comparison
How It Compares In Our Range
Four configurations at the same nominal duty. Span and working pattern decide, not the tonnage.
| European Single Girder | Up to 16 tons, span up to 36 metres, 0.4-16 m/min. Lightest option on the runway. Shipbuilding, mining, power, steel and general manufacturing. |
|---|---|
| Light Overhead | 5 to 100 tons, span 0-49 metres, 0.4-16 m/min. General manufacturing and construction duty. |
| Winch Overhead | 5 to 360 tons, span 0-49 metres, 0.4-20 m/min. Heavy-duty and continuous applications. |
| Gantry Crane | Up to 320 tons, span up to 50 metres, 0.4-16 m/min. Outdoor yards, ports and sites with no runway steel. |
FAQ
15 Ton Crane Solutions Questions
Which of the four should I ask for?
Send the span, the clear height and how many lifts per shift. Below 36 metres and light duty, the European single girder is usually cheapest; outdoors, the gantry usually wins.
Can the single girder really carry 15 tons?
It is rated up to 16 tons, so 15 tons is inside its range provided your span stays within 36 metres.
What control options are available?
Wireless remote control, cab control and handheld control on all four configurations.
How fast does the hook travel?
Lifting is 0.4-16 m/min on three of the builds and 0.4-20 m/min on the winch overhead crane.
Can capacity be increased later?
The frame families are rated to 100 tons on the light build and 360 tons on the winch build, so higher duty is a design change rather than a new crane type.
Do you quote installation?
Installation and commissioning are quoted separately once the runway drawings or the yard layout are confirmed. Ask on WhatsApp with your site drawing.

Guides That Cover This Product
Choosing an Overhead Crane Light Build or Winch Build
Most crane enquiries name a tonnage. The two questions that actually decide the crane are whether the hook pulls as well as lifts, and how many lifts it makes per shift.
Choosing a Jib Crane Mounting for Your Building
Six mounting types exist because the building constrains the crane more often than the load does. Wall, column, free-standing, articulating, mast and portable each solve a different constraint.
