A L type single girder gantry crane is a practical outdoor lifting solution for light- and medium-duty handling in factory yards, material yards and processing areas. Its distinctive L-shaped legs occupy less lateral space than conventional A-frame structures and make it easier to move long goods through the crane legs. The lifting mechanism normally uses an electric hoist, combining a simple structure with cost-effective operation.
Structural Innovation Creates More Operating Space
The main advantage of the L-shaped leg design is its favorable stress distribution, low self-weight and open cargo passage. The leg and lower crossbeam arrangement improves side-loading access while maintaining the rigidity required for outdoor operation.
This structure gives the crane strong span-crossing capability, allowing materials to move smoothly from inside the span to the cantilever area. It is suitable for open-air warehouses, railway freight stations, fabrication yards and port-side material handling where long workpieces must pass through the crane legs.

Why Buyers Choose Henan Mine
Henan Mine is located in Changyuan, Henan, known as the “Hometown of Cranes in China.” The company integrates research and development, design, manufacturing, sales, installation and after-sales service.
Full-Chain Manufacturing Capability
The modern production base covers approximately 680,000 square metres and operates more than 1,300 sets of processing equipment. Turning, milling, planing, grinding, riveting, welding and heat treatment can be completed in-house for traceable quality control.
Rigorous Quality Management
Products are manufactured under ISO 9001 quality, ISO 14001 environmental and occupational health and safety management systems. From high-strength steel procurement to complete-machine load testing, each process follows applicable manufacturing and inspection requirements.
Factory-Direct Pricing
Direct manufacturing reduces intermediate mark-ups and allows the crane to be configured around the actual lifting capacity, span, lifting height, working class and site conditions instead of relying on a one-size-fits-all package.
Full-Life-Cycle Service
Henan Mine maintains more than 480 sales and service agencies in domestic and overseas markets. Support can cover on-site surveys, solution design, manufacturing, installation, commissioning, regular maintenance and inspection guidance.

FAQs
Can an L type single girder gantry crane operate outdoors in strong wind?
Yes. Outdoor configurations can include wind-proof anchoring devices and rail clamps. The local wind conditions and applicable design wind load should be confirmed before manufacturing.
What is the difference between L type and A type gantry cranes?
The L type uses bent legs to provide better side-loading and cargo-passage access. An A type crane uses a more conventional two-leg frame and is commonly selected for heavier duties and demanding operating conditions.
Can non-standard sizes be customized?
Yes. Span, lifting height, cantilever length, speed, control method and protection configuration can be customized according to the site and process requirements.
