Aicrane light duty overhead crane is designed for lighter lifting tasks and less intensive operations. This overhead crane typically has a wide range of lifting capacity, including 5 ton, 10 ton, 15 ton, 20 ton and 25 ton. For smaller workshops, assembly lines, and maintenance facilities, these light duty cranes offer a cost-effective and efficient solution for lighter material handling needs.
Different Types of Light Duty Overhead Cranes
Single Girder Type
Single girder overhead cranes are the most common type of light duty cranes, featuring a single beam that supports the hoisting mechanism. The load capacity of a single girder overhead crane typically ranges from 1 ton to 25 ton, and it is cost-effective, requires less space, and is suitable for a variety of light lifting tasks.
- Compact Design: The single girder structure is lighter and more compact compared to double girder overhead cranes, making it ideal for facilities with limited space.
- Ease of Installation: These cranes are easier to install and require less maintenance due to their simple design.
- Cost-Effective: Single girder overhead cranes are generally more affordable, both in terms of initial investment and operational costs.
Applications:
Single girder overhead cranes are ideal for light manufacturing, assembly lines, and maintenance operations. They are commonly used in workshops, warehouses, and storage facilities.
Double Girder Type
With two parallel girders supporting the hoist and trolley, the double girder overhead cranes for light duty lifting offer enhanced stability, greater lifting height, and reliable performance, making them an excellent choice for various industrial environments.
- Stability and Load Distribution: The dual girder design ensures even weight distribution, offering precise and stable lifting for lighter loads.
- Increased Lifting Height: With the hoist positioned between the girders, these cranes provide greater vertical lifting, maximizing headroom in facilities.
- Customizable: These cranes can be tailored to meet specific needs, making them versatile for a wide range of applications.
Applications:
Ideal for assembly lines, double girder cranes facilitate efficient material handling and positioning of components. In maintenance and repair settings, double girder cranes offer stable and precise handling of light machinery and equipment.
Underhung Type
Underhung overhead cranes, also known as under running cranes, have a load capacity of 1 ton to 10 ton. These cranes are designed with the crane’s end trucks running along the bottom flange of the runway beams. This configuration allows for maximum utilization of space within a facility.
- Space Efficiency: The underhung design allows the crane to operate in tighter spaces where headroom is limited.
- Versatility: These cranes can be mounted on existing structures, such as ceiling beams, without the need for additional supports.
- Ease of Operation: Underhung cranes come with user-friendly controls and features, making them suitable for operators with varying levels of experience.
Applications:
Underhung cranes are widely used in environments where floor space is at a premium, such as smaller workshops and warehouses. They are suitable for light assembly tasks, material handling, and production processes.

Custom Light Duty Overhead Cranes Tailored to Your Lifting Needs
When it comes to overhead cranes, one size does not fit all. Different industries have varying lifting needs and different plant dimensions require different crane sizes, which is why we offer custom light-duty overhead cranes from 1 ton to 25 ton designed to meet your specific lifting needs and project requirements. Here’s how we do it:
1. Tailored Design For Your Light Duty Lifting Needs
We start by understanding your project requirements in detail. This includes the maximum weight of the loads, the dimensions of the workspace, the type of materials being handled, and any specific operational challenges you might face. Based on this information, our engineering team designs a crane that meets your precise specifications.
2. Customized Options for Materials
We use only high quality materials and components to ensure that these small overhead cranes are durable, reliable, and safe. For specific conditions, we offer customized options for crane materials. For example, in low-temperature conditions, the primary load-bearing components of the crane, such as the steel beams, hooks, and lifting gear, should be made from steel that retains good toughness at low temperatures. Commonly used low-temperature steels like Q345D or Q345E are suitable for environments as cold as -40°C.
3. Custom Advanced Features
Our custom 5 ton, 10 ton, 15 ton, 20 ton and 25 ton light duty overhead cranes can be equipped with advanced features such as variable speed control, anti-sway technology, remote operation capabilities, and Internet of Things. These features are designed to enhance the crane’s performance, increase safety, and provide greater control to the operator.

Key Factors Affecting the Price of Light Duty Overhead Cranes
- Lifting Capacity: It is the most straightforward determinant of light duty overhead crane price. As the capacity increases, so does the cost. For instance, a 5 ton bridge crane will generally cost significantly less than a 25 ton bridge crane due to the difference in the materials and components required to handle heavier loads.
- Span and Lifting Height: The span (the distance between the runway rails) and the lifting height (the maximum height the crane can lift a load) also significantly impact the price. A wider span and higher lifting height require more robust construction and more powerful motors, increasing the overall cost.
- Crane Type: Single girder cranes are typically more cost-effective than double girder cranes. Double girder cranes, though more expensive, offer greater lifting height and load stability, making them suitable for higher capacity needs within the 5-25 ton range.
- Custom Features and Specifications: Customized features such as anti-sway mechanisms, specialized hooks, or custom-built crane controls can add to the cost. Additionally, cranes tailored to fit specific dimensions or unique operational needs may require special engineering, further increasing the overhead crane price.
- Materials and Components: The quality and type of materials used in constructing the crane, including the steel for the girders and the components for the hoist and trolley, will also affect the price. Imported quality components, though more expensive, offer better durability, reliability, and a longer lifespan.
