Double Girder Overhead Crane. The double girder overhead crane structure is used for heavier applications up to 125 tons and reaching over 100 feet of span.
A single girder EOT crane has one main girder, making it easy to install, and requires less maintenance. The most common single girder EOT cranes are as follows: LD type single girder EOT crane; LDP type single girder EOT crane and; HD type single girder EOT crane; It is used for lighter industrial applications as it has lower weight limits.
Hoist atop an elevator. A hoist is a device used for lifting or lowering a load by means of a drum or lift-wheel around which rope or chain wraps. It may be manually operated, electrically or pneumatically driven and may use chain, fiber or wire rope as its lifting medium.
Taisun, the world's strongest gantry crane, at Yantai Raffles Shipyard, Yantai, China. Full gantry cranes (where the load remains beneath the gantry structure, supported from a beam) are well suited to lifting massive objects such as ships' engines, as the entire structure can resist the torque created by the load, and counterweights are generally not required.
This specific example uses a level luffing mechanism to maintain the load at approximately the same vertical height as the jib moves through its range of travel. A jib or jib arm is the horizontal or near-horizontal beam used in many types of crane to support the load clear of the main support. [1] [2] An archaic spelling is gib. [3]

The broad base this gives to the slewing section above allows it to slew whilst carrying extremely heavy loads.
