Harga Derek Atas Crane Guide 2026: What LD, LH, and QD Crane Actually Cost
If you are sourcing an overhead crane for a factory, warehouse, or steel plant, the first question is almost always the same: what does it cost? The honest answer is that a 5-ton LD single-girder crane and a 50-ton QD double-girder crane differ in price by more than an order of magnitude — and the gap is driven by structure, duty class, span, and component brand, not by sales margin. This guide breaks down realistic 2026 price bands for the three most-exported overhead crane families from Hefei Chunhua Hoisting Machinery Co., Ltd, and explains exactly which variables move the number.
Quick Price Bands by Jenis Derek (FOB Tiongkok, 2026)
These ranges assume standard span (7.5–22.5 m), standard lift height (6–12 m), and CE-level electricals. Prices are indicative FOB Shanghai/Ningbo and exclude installation and local duties.
- LD single-girder overhead crane, 0.5–20 T: roughly USD 3,500–18,000. A 5 T / 16.5 m LD with CD hoist biasanya lands near USD 6,000–8,000.
- LH hoist double-girder overhead crane, 5–50 T: roughly USD 12,000–65,000. A 20 T / 22.5 m LH sits around USD 28,000–38,000.
- QD universal double-girder overhead crane, 5–150 T: roughly USD 25,000–220,000+. A 50 T / 22.5 m QD in A5 duty is commonly USD 70,000–95,000; the same capacity in A7 duty can add 30–45%.
For reference, YZ metallurgical cranes (5–125 T) price above equivalent QD units because of heat shielding, A7/A8 duty motors, and redundant braking. QDS smart unmanned cranes add automation and anti-sway control on top of the QD base.
The Six Cost Drivers That Matter Most
1. Kapasitas and Span
Kapasitas drives girder section, wheel load, and hoist frame size. Span drives girder depth and total steel weight — and steel is the single largest cost line. Going from 16.5 m to 22.5 m span on the same 10 T crane can add 15–25% to the price because girder mass grows faster than span. Always confirm your actual hook coverage before quoting; overspecifying span is the most common avoidable cost.
2. Duty Class (FEM / ISO)
A crane rated A3–A5 (light to moderate) uses different motors, gearboxes, and brakes than an A6–A7 unit. Upgrading a 20 T LH from A5 to A6 biasanya increases price 12–20%; A7 metallurgical duty can push 35% or more. Match duty to real cycles — running a light-duty crane in a foundry is a false economy, and buying A7 for a 4-lift-per-hour warehouse wastes capital.
3. Single-Girder vs Double-Girder Configuration
The LD single-girder design uses one box girder and a CD/MD hoist running on the lower flange — lighter, cheaper, and ideal up to about 20 T with moderate duty. The LH and QD double-girder designs carry the trolley on top of two girders, giving better hook approach, higher capacities, and longer service life under heavy cycles. The price step from LD to LH is usually 2–3× for the same capacity.
4. Component Brand Tier
This is where quotes diverge most. A crane built with domestic motors and contactors can price 20–30% below one using Schneider, Siemens, ABB, or SEW components. For export buyers, branded electricals and gearboxes reduce downtime risk and simplify spare-parts sourcing. Steel grade also matters: Q345B (stronger, standard for main girders) versus Q235B (used in lighter structures) affects both weight and price.
5. Tinggi Angkat and Hoist Type
Wire-rope hoists (CD/MD) dominate overhead crane applications. Chain hoists (DHP) appear in lighter KBK and jib systems. Every additional meter of lift height adds rope, drum length, and headroom engineering. A 12 m lift versus 6 m on a 10 T crane is a modest but real adder.
6. Standar, Sertifikasi, and Documentation
Crane designed to GB/T 3811 are the baseline. Buyers requiring FEM 1.001, DIN 15018, or CMAA #70 compliance pay more for calculation packages, weld documentation, and testing. Sertifikasi such as CE, EAC (TR CU 010/020), GCC/SASO, SONCAP, or KEBS add testing and paperwork cost, but they are non-negotiable for customs clearance in those markets. Confirm certification scope before comparing quotes — a cheaper crane without the right certificate is not cheaper.
How to Get an Accurate Quote Fast
To receive a usable price rather than a placeholder, send these five data points: capacity (T), span (m), lift height (m), duty class or lifts per hour, and voltage/frequency. Also state whether you need CE, EAC, or another certificate, and whether the crane is indoor or outdoor (this affects paint, IP rating, and for gantry applications the rail system).

Bottom Line
Atas crane pricing in 2026 is predictable once you fix capacity, span, duty, and component tier. Use the bands above to sanity-check quotes, then compare like-for-like on standards and certification. The cheapest crane is rarely the lowest total cost — the right duty class and branded components are what keep a crane running for 20 years.
