How to Choose the Right Indoor Workshop Overhead Crane for Your Facility

Choosing the right indoor workshop overhead crane requires a careful assessment of your facility's structural conditions, lifting requirements, and operational needs. Factors such as lifting capacity, span, building height, and frequency of use all play a key role in determining the most suitable crane solution.

Each indoor workshop overhead crane type has its own strengths and limitations. Some are better suited for heavy loads and high lifting heights, while others are optimized for compact spaces or cost-sensitive operations. Understanding these trade-offs is essential to achieving long-term efficiency and safety.

With deep industry experience, DGCRANE provides tailored guidance to help you select the most appropriate indoor workshop overhead crane configuration—balancing performance, space, and budget to match your specific application.

Indoor Crane Types	Pros	Cons
Single Girder Overhead Crane	Single-girder bridge cranes are inexpensive and have low shipping costs. Installation is simple, and the hoist and trolley designs are simpler.	When the required lifting capacity exceeds 20 tons or the span exceeds 28.5 meters, the requirements cannot be met. Single-girder bridge cranes are generally not equipped with maintenance platforms and require other lifting equipment for maintenance.
Double Girder Overhead Cranes	Lifting capacity of 20 tons or more. Can be paired with different lifting devices to adapt to different material handling requirements, with a wide range of applications. Greater lifting height. The design of the trolley or hoist running on the top of the crossbeam allows for greater lifting height.	Double-girder bridge cranes are relatively heavy, so they place high demands on the load-bearing beams of factory buildings. Double-girder bridge cranes generally require a lot of materials, so they are relatively expensive, and shipping costs are also high.
Underslung Cranes	When the height of the upper part of the building is insufficient for the crane to run on the track. When there are no conventional crane load-bearing beams and runways inside the factory building, the roof can support the crane.	When the lifting capacity exceeds 10 tons or the span exceeds 16.5 meters, suspended cranes may not be suitable. If your factory supports overhead bridge cranes, this type is best due to widely available parts and easy maintenance and installation.
Manual Overhead Cranes	Suitable for lifting capacities up to 10 tons Simple structure, relatively easy to install and maintain, and relatively low cost No power needed. Manual single-girder cranes work reliably in areas without or with unstable electricity, like outdoor or temporary sites.	Slow working speed: Not suitable for situations requiring high productivity Limited lifting capacity: Due to its structural and power limitations, it cannot meet the handling requirements for heavy items
Workstation Overhead Cranes	Cover the required handling space according to actual needs to minimize equipment idling and waste. Lightweight, modular design, easy to assemble and disassemble Main beam uses profiles, short production cycle, easy to transport	Low lifting capacity, with a maximum of 3 tons, not suitable for those with high lifting capacity requirements. High installation threshold, requiring a roof with a load-bearing structure or a ground suitable for installing columns.
Monorail Overhead Cranes	Lifting capacity up to 10 tons, suitable for small tonnage and fixed production line sites. Arrange the crane track route according to the production workshop’s process flow. The track can be curved, looped, or bent. Manufactured using profiles, with a short production cycle and fast delivery.	The roof must have sufficient load-bearing capacity. Monorail overhead cranes can only move left and right in a parallel direction and cannot move forward or backward. They cannot be used when the required lifting capacity exceeds 10 tons or when the working grade exceeds A4.

Understanding each indoor workshop overhead crane type's strengths and limitations will help you make the best choice for your facility.

For many facilities, one of the most important decisions is choosing between a single girder and a double girder overhead crane. Each offers unique advantages depending on your lifting needs, budget, and building constraints.
