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.
Fixed height steel gantry cranes are designed for transporting and positioning materials along the beams length. The solid steel construction will provide years of service, while the painted blue finish will keep the models protected from surface ware. Unit comes standard four (4) position locking swivel casters with roller bearings (2K-4K units have glass filled nylon casters. 6K-8K units have phenolic casters. 10K model has steel casters). The rigging locks in 1 of 4 positions; you can set the wheels and push the gantry crane forward, back, left or right. The unit is an economical and efficient way to lift and raise products,
Fixed height steel gantry cranes are designed for transporting and positioning materials along the beams length. The solid steel construction will provide years of service, while the painted blue finish will keep the models protected from surface ware. Unit comes standard with total locking casters. The total locking casters lock the rigging in any position and locks the wheel from rotating. The unit is an economical and efficient way to lift and raise products, diminishing the need of additional personnel.
