Double Girder Electric Wire Rope Hoists

Double girder overhead wire rope hoists are advanced lifting equipment that industrial sectors use to handle heavy and bulky materials. Choose one of Ace World’s standard wire rope hoists, or have our engineers build a custom-designed hoist to meet your specific needs.

What are Double Girder Overhead Wire Rope Hoists?

Double girder overhead hoists consist of a wire rope hoisting mechanism that runs along two parallel horizontal beams, or girders. The wire rope is strong, durable, and capable of lifting up to 500 tons.

Double Girder Overhead Wire Rope Hoist Features

The low-profile Terminator is our standard top-running double girder wire rope hoist. The industry-leading features of the Terminator include:

Double Girder Wire Rope Hoist Benefits

The primary advantage of our wire rope hoists is a low cost of ownership due to their heavy-duty, long-lasting, and easy-to-maintain components. Some of the many benefits include:

  • High Load Capacity: The double-girder construction provides the additional stability necessary to lift heavier loads.
  • Efficient Space Utilization: We designed our Terminator Hoists with low headroom, which is excellent for applications with minimal overhead space.
  • Custom Hoist Design:  Our custom hoist design can offer handrails, parallel drum and twin hook configurations, rotating trolley hoist, and main and aux hoists on the same trolley and dog houses on top of hoists just to name a few of our custom options. 
  • Versatility: Double girder hoists are ideal for a wide range of industries, including automotive, shipyard, and concrete.

We also engineer fully customized hoists for your specific material handling requirements with virtually no capacity limit and a laundry list of available options.

Industries and Applications

Double girder overhead wire rope hoists are suitable for most heavy-duty and high-use applications, such as:

  • Steel Mills: Handling steel coils, slabs, bars, and beams
  • Aerospace: Lifting fuselage components, hoisting aircraft, and transporting landing gear
  • Manufacturing: Moving heavy machinery, raw materials, and components
  • Power Generation: Handling turbine rotors, tube bundles, and fuel containers
  • Marine: Loading and unloading cargo from ships and containers

We design our wire rope hoists to operate around the clock, 365 days a year.
