The advantages and limitations of single girder cranes are as follows:
- Single girder bridge cranes generally have a maximum span between 20 and 50 feet with a maximum lift of 15-50 feet.
- They can handle 1-15 tonnes with bridge speeds approaching a maximum of 200 feet per minute, trolley speeds of approximately 100 fpm, and hoist speeds ranging from 10-60 fpm.
- They are candidates for light to moderate service and are cost effective for use as a standby crane.
- Single girder cranes reduce the total crane cost on crane components, runway structure and building.
