PRODUCTS & CASES

NLX European Single Girder Underhung Crane is a lightweight suspension bridge crane designed according to European standards and engineered for efficient material handling in modern industrial facilities. It is mainly used together with European-style electric hoists to provide smooth and reliable lifting performance.

Unlike traditional overhead cranes installed on ground-supported runway systems, the underhung crane operates on I-beam tracks suspended from steel structures or prefabricated roof beams. Its compact single girder design allows effective use of building height and provides an ideal solution for workshops with limited installation space.

Due to the structural requirements of suspended installation, the load-bearing capacity of the building structure is an important consideration. The rated lifting capacity of this type of crane is generally below 10 tons, making it especially suitable for light and medium-duty lifting applications.

With advantages including lightweight construction, easy installation, low maintenance requirements, and flexible layout options, NLX underhung cranes are widely used in small standardized factories, production workshops, warehouses, storage yards, sewage treatment plants, power stations, pumping stations, and equipment maintenance areas.

Main Structure

Suspended Runway System

The crane runs along suspended I-beam tracks fixed to the roof structure or steel framework. This design eliminates the need for ground columns and maximizes available floor space.

Single Girder Bridge Structure

The optimized single beam structure provides sufficient strength while reducing overall weight, making it suitable for applications requiring economical and flexible lifting solutions.

European Electric Hoist

The crane is typically equipped with a European-style electric hoist, providing smooth lifting, accurate positioning, and reliable operation.

Manufacturing Workshops

Used for component transportation, assembly operations, and production line material supply.

Warehouses and Storage Areas

Provides efficient movement of goods, tools, and small equipment while maximizing available floor space.

Maintenance Workshops

Supports equipment repair, inspection, and replacement tasks with flexible lifting capability.

Power Stations and Pumping Facilities

Used for routine maintenance and handling of mechanical equipment.

Sewage Treatment Facilities

Suitable for lifting and transferring maintenance components and operational equipment.

Reliable Suspension Structure

High-strength bolted connections are used between the crane beam and suspension system, ensuring excellent structural stability and long-term operational reliability.

Compact and Efficient Drive System

The crane adopts a compact geared motor drive system featuring:

• Hardened gears

• Safety disc brakes

• IP55 protection class

• Class F insulation

The optimized drive design provides stable performance and long service life.

Smooth and Precise Movement

The variable frequency speed control system enables stepless speed adjustment, allowing smooth starting, accurate positioning, and reduced impact during operation.

Independent Lifting and Traveling Mechanisms

The hoisting system and traveling mechanism operate independently, supporting coordinated movement and improving handling efficiency.

Lightweight and Space Saving Design

The compact structure reduces installation requirements and improves available workspace utilization. It is especially suitable for factories with low headroom or limited overhead space.

Modular Design for Easy Installation

Standardized modular components simplify transportation, installation, maintenance, and future system expansion, allowing the crane to adapt to different industrial environments.

Low Noise and Energy Efficient Operation

Optimized mechanical design reduces operating noise and energy consumption, meeting modern industrial requirements for efficient and environmentally friendly material handling.
