The term "gru monotrave" is translated in the Proz glossary as a "single-beam crane", but I'm not sure as to how I should translate the "a bicicletta" part.

walking crane
Hi Lindsay,
A walking crane only has one rail, so you don’t have to say single beam/rail.
walking crane
A light crane traveling on an overhead channel iron and a single rail
vertically beneath this in the floor. Webster 3rd

double beam crane
Just a suggestion - if "gru monotrave" = "single beam crane" then maybe "a bicicletta" = "double beam" ...
... double girder crane. double beam crane. suspension crane. electric crane ...

Note from asker:
| Hi Ivana, thanks for your suggestions. You might be right, but I'm not sure because the term "two beam crane" (which I presume is the same as a double beam crane) is translated in the Proz glossary as a "gru bitrave" |
