Rolling Gantry Crane Introduction

  • A gantry crane is an overhead system that sits on wheels or tracks. However, it is not the same as an overhead bridge crane.
  • Typically, a gantry crane has one or two girders. It is not linked to the supportive structures of a building, which is one of the biggest differentiators from a bridge crane. 
  • Since it is supported on the ground by freestanding legs, it is cheaper and sometimes easier for construction sites and maintenance shops. Larger gantry cranes might have fixed tracks, but smaller cranes can often be portable for multiple project sites.

  • The semi-gantry is a crane partially attached to the wall but works with a railway system that makes it a more accessible option than a bridge crane. Adjustable and portable gantry cranes are ideal options for work sites that need cranes for various uses.
  • Portable cranes are ideal because they can swiftly move through a building on wheels while carrying heavy loads. You might have some limitations with a portable crane on weight restrictions, but it should still accomplish some of your more arduous tasks.
  • Typically, there are three areas in the adjustable gantry crane that can be modified, including: Base, Height, Span/Width. It is also typically set on wheels, which gives it the benefit of portability.
  • However, the most popular gantry crane is the full-sized version. They are generally wide and tall enough that vehicles and other transport can cross underneath them.

  • Reasonable and strong crane design, easy operation, stable and high efficient working performance, and long services.
  • Adjustable & portable gantry frame, flexible, hoisting solution for loads of different weights and sizes.

  • Usually, full-sized and semi-gantry cranes handle heavier workloads. They are seen in shipping yards, rail yards, and steelyards.
  • This type of crane is beneficial for outdoor work, making it an excellent option for site areas where concrete is being laid. Portable gantry cranes are sometimes used in conjunction with full-sized cranes.
