Whether you need to move large overhead cranes or maneuver equipment in a tight space, there’s a material handling solution for you. Gantry cranes are often favored over traditional bridge crane setups when mobility, speed of deployment and moderate lifting capacity are important requirements.

Choosing a gantry crane type depends on several factors, including the intended applications and the maximum load you’ll need to lift. The best way to determine which option is right for you is to discuss your application with the supplier of your choice, highlighting the desired span, lifting height and power supply. It’s also helpful to share details about the typical loads you’ll be moving, describing their weight and dimensions so manufacturers can design a lifting mechanism suitable for your needs.

Some gantry cranes are designed to be portable, with legs that retract into the frame for easy transportation between locations within your facility. Others are permanent installations with runways built into the structure of your building. These are often used in industrial environments for shipping and loading docks, rail yards, and steel or scrap facilities.

Safe & Efficient Material Handling

Full gantry cranes are typically found in shipyards, where they’re used to assemble massive ship components like engines. They’re also popular in outdoor fabrication settings, where it’s necessary to allow forklift traffic and other motorized equipment to run underneath the system. Depending on your needs, you may need to choose a fully enclosed gantry or one with adjustable legs to get the right balance between mobility and stability.
