The L-Type Single Beam Hook Gantry Crane is a versatile, track-mounted light-to-medium duty lifting solution manufactured by Henan Mine, specifically engineered for outdoor material handling operations in freight yards, railway hubs, warehouses, ports, and construction sites . This crane features a distinctive L-shaped single-leg design on one side (providing a large open space for long cargo transfer) combined with a box-section main girder, a trolley running mechanism, an electric hoist (compatible with CD1/MD1 types), and a fully enclosed cabin with centralized controls .

The unique L-leg configuration reduces the overall machine height while maintaining lifting height compared to conventional gantry cranes, saving costs and improving workspace efficiency . Operating under duty class A5 (medium duty) with lifting capacities from 5 to 50 tons, spans from 18 to 35 meters, and lifting heights from 6 to 18 meters, this crane is ideal for handling steel coils, pipes, structural beams, and general cargo, with optional cantilevers, cable or busbar power supply, and flexible control methods including cabin, pendant, or wireless remote .

It is widely used in ports, steel plants, power stations, scrap yards, cement plants, coal yards, and bulk material terminals. In grab bucket mode, it efficiently handles loose bulk materials such as coal, sand, grain, ore, fertilizer, and scrap metal. In hook mode, it lifts heavy or shaped loads including steel coils, machinery, concrete components, containers, and maintenance equipment.

Core Applications – L-Type Single Beam Hook Gantry Crane
1.Outdoor Freight Yards & Railways – Handles general cargo loading, unloading, and lifting operations in open-air storage yards and along railway tracks, with L-leg design allowing large items to pass through the leg space for horizontal transport .
2.Steel Coil & Pipe Storage Yards – Lifts and transfers long materials such as steel pipes, structural beams, steel coils, and rebar bundles, with the L-shaped leg providing ample clearance for tilting and turning long workpieces .
3.Ports & Docks – Loads and unloads containers, heavy machinery, and bulk cargo from vessels and trucks in port terminals, with weather-resistant construction and optional cantilever extending reach beyond rail centers .
4.Warehouses & Logistics Centers – Performs stacking, retrieving, and moving of pallets, finished goods, and raw materials in covered or semi-covered storage facilities where building structures cannot support overhead cranes .
5.Construction Sites & Precast Yards – Transports precast concrete components, steel reinforcement, construction materials, and heavy equipment in open staging areas and fabrication bays .
6.Heavy Fabrication Shops – Positions large steel plates, machinery components, and fabricated assemblies under welding fixtures or assembly lines, benefiting from the crane's compact footprint and stable operation .
