GANTRY (PORTAL) CRANES
Gantry cranes provide the same strength and durability of overhead bridge cranes. Gantry end trucks ride on square bar or ASCE rail, secured to the factory floor, instead of the runway structure on columns. The gantry crane is raised above the floor by support legs mounted on the end trucks. Advantages of Gantry Cranes;
- No need to install columns and runway system.
- For long runway distances becomes cheaper.
- Indoor and outdoor transitions of loads.
- Gantry cranes can be easily moved or relocated.
- Doesn't require fixed runway structure.
