Lightweight and Flexible, Master of Space: Shandong Xingyuan Machinery's LDN Type European-Style Single-Girder Crane
Release time:
2026-05-09
In modern plants and warehouses, achieving efficient and precise material handling within limited space is a real challenge faced by many enterprises. Drawing on advanced European design concepts, Shandong Xingyuan Machinery Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Xingyuan Machinery") presents the LDN type European-style electric single-girder overhead crane. With "lightweight design, low headroom, and energy efficiency" as its core advantages, this product is particularly suitable for small to medium-scale material handling scenarios where plant height is restricted or where reducing civil engineering investment is desired.

Product Definition: The "Elite Force" for Light-Duty Handling
The LDN type single-girder crane is a lightweight product from Xingyuan Machinery, representing a European-style technical upgrade based on the traditional LD type. This model is compatible with ND type or CD1/MD1 type electric hoists, and the complete machine is suspended from the plant roof rails, occupying absolutely no floor space.
| Dimension | Characteristic Description |
|---|---|
| Applicable Scenarios | Machining workshops, warehouse logistics centers, precision assembly lines, standard plants |
| Lifting Objects | Small to medium workpieces, raw materials, semi-finished products, equipment accessories |
| Lifting Capacity Range | 1t – 12.5t (customizable up to 20t) |
| Span Range | 7.5m – 28.5m |
| Work Duty Classification | A3 – A5 (Light to Medium Duty) |
In simple terms: if double-girder cranes are the "heavy forces," then the LDN type is the "elite force" for light-duty handling—it accomplishes efficient handling of small to medium tonnages with lower deadweight and a smaller spatial footprint.
Core Advantages: Four Highlights Forging the Master of Space
1. Ultimate Low Headroom: Deriving Benefits from Height
The greatest technical highlight of the LDN type lies in its European-style low headroom design:
Optimized "C-type" structure: The compact layout of the electric hoist and the main girder effectively increases the height under the hook.
Increased Lifting Height: In the same plant height, the lifting stroke can be increased by 200–500mm compared with traditional single-girder cranes.
Civil Engineering Cost Savings: Low headroom requirement; new plants can be built with reduced building height, while old plant renovations require no reinforcement.
2. Light Deadweight, Low Wheel Load: Worry-Free for Aging Plants
The LDN type adopts a modular design and high-strength steel, offering outstanding lightweight characteristics for the complete machine:
Deadweight reduced by 20%–30% compared with traditional models.
Significantly reduced wheel load, placing low demands on plant load-bearing capacity.
Particularly suitable for aging plant renovations: equipment upgrades can be completed without complex civil engineering reinforcement.
3. Energy-Saving and Power-Efficient, Low Operating Costs
Thanks to the lightweight design and high-efficiency transmission system:
Operating energy consumption reduced by 15%–25%.
The bridge and trolley traveling mechanisms come standard with a "three-in-one" drive (motor + reducer + brake integrated), offering high transmission efficiency.
Optional variable frequency speed control achieves "soft starting and soft stopping," further saving electrical energy.
4. Precise Positioning, Convenient Operation
Precise Alignment: Optional variable frequency control, combined with inching remote control, easily achieves millimeter-level material lifting and placement.
Flexible Control: Comes standard with an industrial-grade wireless remote control (IP65 protection), allowing the operator to move freely and observe from close range.
Smooth Operation: Optional variable frequency speed control ensures no impact during start/stop and minimal load sway.

Product Value Summary
The LDN type European-style single-girder crane is a representative product of Xingyuan Machinery's "lightweight" strategy. With lighter deadweight, lower headroom, and reduced energy consumption, it precisely meets the "quality-to-price ratio" demands of the small to medium-tonnage handling market—it is not only an astute choice for newly built plants but also a reliable solution for the mechanized upgrade of aging factories.
