Gantry Cranes

A gantry crane is a type of overhead crane that is used for lifting and moving heavy loads. It consists of a beam, or gantry, that is supported by two or more legs, which can be either fixed to the ground or mounted on wheels for mobility.

The gantry moves along a track, allowing the crane to cover a large work area.

At the center of the gantry, there is a hoist that can move along the beam to lift and move loads. Gantry cranes are commonly used in outdoor settings, such as construction sites, shipyards, and ports, as well as in indoor facilities, like factories and warehouses.

They are particularly useful for handling large and heavy items, such as shipping containers, machinery, and building materials.

Gantry cranes can be operated manually, electrically, or hydraulically, depending on the specific model and requirements.
