A Gantry Crane is supported by uprights that run along a rail at ground level. This type of crane is ideal for situations in which you have no elevated runway or top rail to run your crane along, or the building support structure cannot handle the weight of an overhead crane. Therefore gantry cranes are used in a lot of outdoor applications. The rail that the crane runs on is embedded into the concrete so that it is a flush surface allowing other equipment to cross the rail with ease. When choosing the proper gantry crane for your application there are a few things to consider, example:
These are just a few of the questions that will need to be answered. As a leading crane manufacturer, we can develop a custom crane solution that meets your needs–be it a semi-gantry or a double-leg crane. Our years of industrial crane design expertise and manufacturing experience ensure that your crane will be of the highest quality and will be a sound investment for years to come.
Double-leg gantries (both legs run along a rail at ground level) are often used in loading docks and shipyards and rail yards. The double-legged gantry crane can be customized with cabs, rotating hoists, dog houses (a cover that goes over your hoist to protect it from the elements), and much more.
Semi-gantries are gantries in which one leg runs along a rail at ground level and the other end of the bridge is supported by a truck that runs along an elevated runway. The Semi-gantry crane is ideal for warehouses and manufacturing buildings that need part of their bay for purposes other than a crane.
