Gantry cranes offer lift and move capabilities that allow load transit from area to area within a facility. Their special structures support very heavy loads along the span of the top beam to facilitate a variety of applications, such as loading and unloading, fabrication and assembly, or maintenance and repair.
All gantry cranes consist of three primary components: two leg structures and the I-beam span. Unlike jib cranes which only have one support point at the base or mast, gantry cranes have both leg structures to carry the weight of the load. Most gantry cranes are a basic A-frame shape with wheels on the leg structures. Some gantry cranes allow you to configure them with a cantilever style span for transferring the load to the end in order to do assembly work or to move the load off the crane.
One of the greatest benefits of using gantry cranes is that the load can be walked to a new location simply by rolling the entire crane to the spot. Picking up a load is similarly easy; just walk the crane to the pick-up point.
Gantry cranes don't require any permanent installation or secondary foundations, nor do they rely on building structural support to carry the weight of the load. These can be important considerations if you rent your facility or anticipate moving to a new facility in the future.
