Investing in a European overhead crane is a game-changer for steel rolling mills in the Philippines. Our company recently had the pleasure of providing a 20-ton European overhead crane to a satisfied Filipino customer for their steel mill.
European Overhead Crane Overview
20 ton European overhead cranes are generally designed with double main beams and are favoured by users for their superior quality, durability and advanced technology. They are designed for heavy lifting applications in industrial environments. The components of European Double Girder Overhead Cranes usually include:
- Bridge: The main horizontal beam that spans the working area.
- End girder: They travel along the track beams, allowing the bridge to move back and forth.
- Hoist: The lifting mechanism that raises and lowers the load.
- Trolley: The device that carries the hoist and passes through the bridge beams.
- Runway beams: They support the bridge and enable it to move longitudinally.
- Control system: Modern European cranes usually have user-friendly control systems for precise and safe operation.
20 Ton European Overhead Crane Specifications and Price
The specific features and price of a 20-ton European overhead crane will vary depending on your unique needs. Some factors that can influence the price include:
- Span: The distance between the runway beams.
- Lift height: The maximum height the crane can lift a load.
- Hoisting speed: The rate at which the crane can raise and lower loads.
- Additional features: Options like variable speeds, hook rotation, and specialized lifting attachments can impact the price.
- Brand and manufacturer: Reputable European brands are known for their top-tier quality but may come at a higher cost.
Why Did This Philippine Customer Need a 20 Ton Euro Overhead Crane?
Our Philippine customer needed a reliable crane to handle daily tasks within the steel rolling mill. Here are some specific reasons why they ultimately chose the 20 ton Euro Overhead Crane:
- Heavy Lifting Capacity: The 20 ton lifting capacity ensures they can efficiently handle a wide range of steel products throughout the rolling process.

Our company takes creating value for customers as its purpose, and designs for customers with care to complete every order.
In January, the customer’s Philippine steel mill contacted us to discuss the customer’s bridge crane needs. Our team of engineers communicated closely with the customer to understand their specific requirements and recommend the most suitable European crane model and technical parameters. We provided a detailed quotation outlining the specifications, price and delivery schedule of the crane. After confirming various parameters, we placed a formal order.
This 20 ton European crane was manufactured strictly according to our agreed specifications and went through a strict quality control procedure. After manufacturing, the European crane was carefully shipped to the Philippines. Our technical team guided and supervised the crane installation process online to ensure correct installation and normal test operation functions. We have our own factory to produce a complete range of accessories to support customers’ future crane repairs and ensure smooth long-term use by customers.
Advantages of European double girder overhead cranes
The 20 ton crane supplied to the Philippine steel mill was a double girder overhead crane. Here are some key advantages of this design:
- Enhanced Load Capacity: Double girders provide superior weight distribution, allowing for heavier lifting capacities compared to single girder cranes.
- Increased Stability: The double girder design offers greater stability, crucial for handling heavy and unbalanced loads.
- Improved Lifespan: Due to their robust construction, double girder cranes are known for their longer lifespan and lower maintenance requirements.
European Overhead Crane Design
European overhead cranes are built with meticulous attention to detail and incorporate advanced design features for optimal performance and safety. Here are some key aspects of European crane design:
