Double Girder Circular Crane

Twin box-girder electric crane that travels on a curved rail mounted atop a large circular structure — storage tank, clarifier, digester or silo — for heavy capacities and demanding duty cycles requiring full 360° coverage. Designed to IS:3177 & IS:807, load-tested at 125% SWL and delivered pan-India from our Ahmedabad works.

About This Product

Engineered For Indian Industry

A circular crane — also called a circular EOT or radial travelling crane — runs on a curved rail fixed to the top of a cylindrical structure, such as a storage tank, clarifier, digester, silo or circular pump house, instead of the straight runway beams used by a conventional EOT crane. A single crane can then cover the entire circumference of the vessel from a fixed centre point, which is exactly what petrochemical, water-treatment and process plants need for tank maintenance, desludging and periodic inspection.

Because the girder itself is curved to match the track radius, every ETC circular crane is engineered around your specific structure — ring-beam diameter, rail gauge, wheel base and duty cycle are calculated from your GA drawing before a single plate is cut. Girders are stress-relieved after curving to remove residual fabrication stresses, and all electricals are rated for outdoor tank-farm exposure.

Key Features
  • Radius-matched girder — precision curved to your track diameter
  • 360° coverage — full circumference access from a fixed hub
  • VFD drives — smooth, jerk-free radial travel
  • Tank-farm grade finish — corrosion-resistant for outdoor exposure
  • 125% load tested — with stamped test certificate
  • Pan-India erection — by trained ETC riggers
Applications

Where This Machine Earns Its Keep

Periodic desludging, roof maintenance and internal inspection access on storage tanks.
Water & Wastewater Treatment
Full-circumference access over circular clarifiers and digesters for scraper and mechanism servicing.
Sponge Iron & Metal Plants
Kiln and cooler maintenance cranes engineered for high-temperature, dusty environments.
Pump Houses
Circular pump-house cranes for periodic pump and motor overhaul without dismantling piping.
Silos & Bulk Storage

Safety First

Safety Features As Standard

Overload Limiter

Electronic load cell cuts hoisting the moment load exceeds rated SWL.

Radial Travel Limit Switches

Arc-position limits stop bridge travel before rail overrun on the circular track.

Motion Warning Hooter

Audible alarm and flasher warn floor staff during radial and hoist motion.

Fail-Safe DC Brakes

Electromagnetic brakes engage automatically on power failure — load holds instantly.

Pendant + Radio Remote

IP-65 push-button pendant with optional wireless remote and emergency stop.

Panel Protection

SPP, overload relays and single-phase preventers protect motors and VFDs in tank-farm conditions.

FAQ

Questions Buyers Ask Us

When capacity exceeds roughly 20 Ton, the track diameter is large, or the duty is continuous — the twin box girders give the stiffness and hook height that a single girder cannot provide over long radial spans.

A crab winch unit runs on rails on top of the two girders, giving true vertical lift and full radial travel from the pivot to the outer rail, with creep speed for precise placement.

The pivot bearing carries the inner reaction while the outer end carriage runs on double-flanged forged wheels; drive and guide rollers keep the bridge tracking true against the circular rail through every revolution.

Water and effluent treatment plants, cement and mineral storage domes, power plant circular halls, and process industries with circular reactor or blending vessels.

Structures are NDT checked at critical welds and the crane is proof-tested at 125% of Safe Working Load. On site we run a full slewing trial through 360° with the rated load before handover.

Yes — the bridge, pivot and outer rail are engineered to the diameter you give us. Send the internal diameter and rail-level elevation and we design the crane around the structure you already have.

Outdoor installations get IS 875 wind-load design, storm anchors at the parking position, weatherproof IP-rated panels and a UV-stable PU topcoat over epoxy primer.

Double girder circular cranes are typically manufactured in 8–12 weeks from drawing approval, with rail material dispatched early so civil work runs in parallel.
