Gantry cranes are widely used when the lifting is needed without the cost of a building or support steel work. The gantry cranes can be placed indoors or outdoors, used for activities in steel stock yards, pre-cast segment yards, construction sites and other outdoor application.
Advantages of Gantry Cranes
- Portability & Flexibility: Mobile design allows relocation without permanent installation. Ideal for temporary or changing workspaces (e.g., construction sites).
- High Load Capacity: Capable of lifting from light to extremely heavy loads (up to hundreds of tons).
- Customizable Configurations: Adjustable spans, heights, and girder types (single/double) to suit specific needs. Options for rail-mounted gantry cranes, rubber-tired gantry cranes, or container gantry cranes.
- Cost-Effectiveness: No need for building modifications or support structures, reducing installation costs.
- Versatility: Operate indoors or outdoors, with weather-resistant models for harsh environments.
- Safety Features: Overload protection, emergency stops, and precision controls (e.g., radio remote systems).
- Efficiency: Reduces manual labor, speeds up workflows, and minimizes injury risks.

How to Buy a Gantry Crane from DQCRANES
Technical Specifications
- Load Capacity: Determine the maximum weight you need to lift (e.g., 10 tons, 50 tons, or 100 tons).
- Span and Height: Measure the required width (distance between legs) and lifting height for your workspace.
Type of Gantry Crane
- Portable vs. Fixed: Portable gantries are movable, while fixed rail-mounted cranes suit permanent operations.
- Single vs. Double Girder: Double girders handle heavier loads and longer spans.
- Power Source: Electric, Hybrid power, or manual operation.
- Duty Cycle: How frequently the crane will operate (e.g., occasional use vs. 24/7 industrial use).
Workspace and Environment
- Indoor vs. Outdoor Use: Ensure the crane is weatherproofed for outdoor environments.
- Floor/Rail Conditions: Verify if your site has rails, concrete floors, or uneven terrain.
- Space Constraints: Check ceiling height, obstructions, and clearance for crane movement.
Customization Needs
- Special Features: Automation, remote controls, anti-sway systems, or explosion-proof designs.
- Material Quality: Corrosion-resistant coatings for harsh environments (e.g., marine or chemical industries).
- Safety Features: Overload protection, emergency stops, and compliance with safety standards (e.g., ISO, CE).
