A gantry crane is a crane built atop a gantry, which is a structure used to straddle an object or workspace. Ganty crane is sometimes called a portal cranes.
Gantry crane and overhead crane (or bridge crane) are often used interchangeably, as both types of crane straddle their workload. The distinction most often drawn between the two is that with gantry cranes, the entire structure (including gantry) is usually wheeled (often on rails). By contrast, the supporting structure of an overhead crane is fixed in location, often in the form of the walls or ceiling of a building, to which is attached a movable hoist running overhead along a rail or beam (which may itself move). Further confusing the issue is that gantry cranes may also incorporate a movable beam-mounted hoist in addition to the entire structure being wheeled, and some overhead cranes are suspended from a freestanding gantry.
Industrial steel Gantry cranes with fixed height are uniquely designed to be disassembled when not in use for compact storage and easier transportation / shipping from one job site to another. Facilitate easy mobility from one area to another with the standard four (4) V-groove casters. These allow for quick movement and positioning adjustments. Features quick setup design.
Industrial steel Gantry cranes with fixed height are uniquely designed to be disassembled when not in use for compact storage and easier transportation / shipping from one job site to another. Facilitate easy mobility from one area to another with total locking casters. The total locking casters lock the rigging in any position and locks the wheel from rotating. Features quick setup design.
Aluminum Gantry Cranes with fixed height are ideal for variety of industries including maintenance and production. The aluminum design is easily manageable and can be simply assembled for immediate use. A fixed height is perfect for working in a permanent or semi-permanent environment where the surrounding seldom change. Casters provide a smooth way to transfer units when unloaded and if changing locations is needed.
Portable Steel Gantry Cranes are designed to maximize material handling requirements in light-duty lifting applications. Lightweight fixed height design allows for easy mobility. Includes (4) 5" x 2" poly-on-steel swivel casters with brake.
