Are Electric Hoists the Same as Single Girder Bridge Cranes?

Electric hoist is a small lifting equipment driven by electricity, which is small in size, light in weight, low in price and easy to use. According to its different structure, it can be divided into wire rope electric hoist and chain electric hoist.
1. Electric chain hoist
The electric chain hoist is an electric hoist with a welded circular chain as the load. Compared with the wire rope electric hoist, the structure is lighter and the price is cheaper.
2. Wire rope electric hoist
The wire rope electric hoist is an electric hoist with a wire rope as a load. It is used with I-beam or H-beam and a box. It can be lifted up and down or moved left and right.
It can be used as a hoisting mechanism for overhead monorail cranes, electric single girder, electric suspension and other cranes.

Single girder crane
Generally, the single-girder cranes we refer to are end beams plus main girders and a complete set of electric hoists. If there is no electric hoist, the single-girder cranes under normal use are basically unable to do work. The electric hoist is only a set of combined mechanisms in the single-girder crane. The mobile electric hoist can be used with the single-girder crane to realize all-round movement up and down, left and right, and front and rear.
Electric hoists are light and small lifting equipment. If you use a fixed electric hoist, no matter how many tons the lifting capacity is, you do not need to apply for inspection; single-girder cranes are different. Single-girder cranes are beam-type cranes with a lifting capacity of more than 3 tons (including 3 tons) requires inspection.
Common single girder bridge cranes are:

LD electric single girder bridge crane
LD electric single-girder bridge crane is a kind of crane suitable for lifting medium and heavy items, and is used for cargo handling and loading and unloading operations in machinery processing plants, warehouses, docks and other places. Working environment temperature range -25℃~40℃. The working level is A3-A4.

LX electric single girder bridge crane
LX electric single-girder bridge crane is a kind of crane suitable for lifting light objects. Its running track uses I-beam, and the two ends of the main girder are suspended under the I-beam. This machine is mostly used in machinery manufacturing, assembly workshops and Warehouses and other places. It is usually used for loading and unloading, maintenance and flexible production line picking in workshops, warehouses and other places.

LB type explosion-proof single girder bridge crane
LB type European-style explosion-proof single-girder crane is used together with BCD, BMD and other explosion-proof electric hoists to become a light and small crane running on rails. Its applicable lifting capacity is 1-16t, and its applicable span is 7.5-22.5 meters. A3-A5, mostly used in chemical plants, mines or workshops with flammable and explosive materials.

LDY metallurgical single girder bridge crane
LDY metallurgical cranes are used in conjunction with metallurgical electric hoists, and are mostly used in foundries, smelters or factories with high workshop temperatures.
