Industrial gantry crane is extensively found in a variety of industrial sites to handle and move heavy loads. It is ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications. Unlike an overhead bridge crane, this type of crane does not need to be supported by building columns or engineering columns, therefore eliminating the needs for runway beams and support columns. These industrial gantry cranes can be designed with different configurations to accommodate your specific applications.
Different Types of Industrial Gantry Cranes
Single girder gantry crane
The single girder crane can be designed to be full-gantry, semi-gantry or truss gantry based on your application requirements. It is ideal for light duty to moderate service in various industries. With only one bridge girder, this type of crane is less expensive than its double girder counterpart since it requires simpler hoist and trolley design, easier installation and less maintenance.
Double girder gantry crane
If the load you need to handle approaches 20 tons and more, or you need to cover a large span, a double girder gantry crane may be a better choice for increasing operational efficiency and work safety. It can be designed for the most demanding tasks in a number of different industries. Like single girder crane, it can also be designed to be full-gantry, semi-gantry or truss gantry system to suit customer’s requirements.
Wide Applications of Industrial Gantry Crane
Our gantry crane can be adapted to both light and heavy industry applications, such as heavy fabrication workshops, steel yards, scrap yards and chemical plants.
Full gantry crane is the most commonly used gantry lifting equipment. It can be used for almost all sorts of applications, such as heavy machine shops, outdoor yards and precast applications.
Semi-gantry crane is designed with one side supported by columns or structure of the industrial facility. It is commonly used in workshops, material storage warehouses and outdoor yards to handle heavy loads efficiently and safely, as well as save work space for you.
Portable gantry crane is perfect for light duty applications, such as to lift and hold a load when it is being fabricated, assembled or repaired. Riding on caster wheels or rubber wheels, the portable crane enables you to move it throughout your facility and position it anywhere you want it to be.
Advantages of Utilizing An Industrial Gantry Lifting Equipment
- Wide applications. The gantry crane system can be used indoors, outdoors or both to your requirements.
- Cost-effective. It can reduce material costs comparing to a similarly specified overhead crane since it eliminates the needs for building support columns and runway beams.
- Mobility. It can be designed to be mobile and allows you to move it from one location to another easily.
- High utilization. The gantry crane can be relocated in other workplace easily for reuse.
- Large capacity. The equipment can be designed with extremely large capacity to lift a considerable amount of weight.
- Excellent safety. Our gantry cranes can be delivered with a range of safety equipment and systems to ensure a safe lifting operation.
- Custom design. We can custom design and build the crane to the specific needs of customers.
What to Look for in The Selection of A Gantry Crane
If you want to employ the right gantry crane in your facility for maximizing efficiency and streamlining workflow, there are a few things you will need to consider:
- What type of crane you need? single girder, double girder, rail mounted or mobile type?
- What kind of load you need to handle?
- Your desired industrial gantry crane specifications, such as rated load capacity, lifting height, span, lifting speed and crane travel distance.
- Duty cycle or service classification of the crane
- The environment that the crane will be operating in (indoor, outdoor, dust, etc.)
- Power delivery (cable reel, slip line or diesel generator set)
- Other special requirements
Depending on your requirements, we can help you design and identify the most appropriate and economical gantry crane system for your production and facility.
