Innovation can happen at any time, in any industry or in any place, sometimes in the most unexpected places. Innovation in materials handling is constant, but crane girder innovation was stagnant for over 100 years. No one ever imagined innovation would come to the girder, but almost 150 years after the last innovation, came the next\u2014 the V-Girder<\/a>. The latest generation of crane girders offers improved precision and flexibility you won\u2019t find with an ordinary box girder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Flexibility and Efficiency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The V-Type girder is the new generation of crane girders, creating more flexibility and efficiency in overhead crane installations. With those open \u2018V\u2019 wings, it\u2019s easy to see why it\u2019s called the V-Type. These wings are important because they cut the deadweight by an average of 17%, compared to conventional box-section, single girders. Lower deadweight reduces the forces transmitted to the existing support superstructure (aka the building or structure the crane is supported by) in both existing and new construction sites. That\u2019s why if you are designing a new facility and need to put an overhead crane in, the V-Type girder gives you the greatest flexibility in your layout. Along with reducing deadweight, these wings are specially designed to accommodate pressure and tensile forces, reducing resonance frequency by 30%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Longer Service Life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The reduced oscillation characteristics of the girder design subject the V-Type girder and the components used on the crane to lower loads. To break this down, oscillation is movement up and down. The design of the V-Type girder reduces the up and down movement so the load is more stable, thus reducing the wear of constant up and down movement. This girder delivers double the service life (500,000 changes of loads) when compared to cranes with a box girder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outdoor Use<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Designing a crane that will be used outdoors adds additional details that need to be considered. One major consideration is wind. The wind never stops. Sometimes it\u2019s so light you don\u2019t feel it as it passes over your skin, while other times it creates dangerous weather conditions like tornadoes and hurricanes. Overhead cranes easily become victims of the weather. Because of its open wings, the V-Type girder is optimized for outdoor use, creating 55% less wind resistance than a box girder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improved Lighting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When\nusing traditional girders, lighting can be blocked in the area around the\ncrane. When using a traditional box girder, you may need to redesign the\nlighting in the area of the crane for safety. With its open design, the V- Type\ngirder was designed to allow up to 30% more light through than a traditional\nbox girder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Double Girder V-Type Crane<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Using the V-Type girder in a double girder crane setup brings added benefits to your project. Why? It can transport loads that are heavier than if you were to use a double, box-section girder,<\/g> because you can match the V-Type with higher load capacity wire rope hoists without exerting a higher load on the crane runway and building superstructure.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the girders are lighter, the V-Type girder can be\nmatched to the building\u2019s geometry to further customize the crane within a\nbuilding. With different connections, it can be adapted so that the girder can\nmatch the volume\/superstructure of the existing building rather than being\nconstrained to only a few configurations. When being installed in a new\nbuilding, the crane will fit into a smaller space between the crane and the\nroof, compared to a box girder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether your project requires a single or double girder crane, the innovative V-Type girder has the potential to offer flexibility for your next project. You\u2019ll experience these benefits whether you use it as a single or double girder overhead crane. Less is more and the V-Type girder\u2019s wings give you advantages a traditional box girder can\u2019t. Innovation happens in unexpected places and times, sometimes 150 years later.
