Gantry Crane

What is gantry crane

As you know, the gantry crane can be said to be a variety of overhead bridge crane. The biggest difference between the bridge crane and gantry crane in structure is the legs. So, gantry cranes are usually considered when there is a reason not to incorporate an overhead runway system.

These are typically used for an outdoor application or below an existing overhead bridge crane system. Unlike a bridge crane, a gantry crane does not need to be tied into a building’s support structure - eliminating the need for permanent runway beams and support columns. In some cases, this can result in a significant reduction in material costs and can be a more cost-effective solution compared to a similarly specified bridge crane.

Larger gantry systems may run on a rail or track embedded in the ground, typically in a straight line in a dedicated work area. Smaller portable gantry systems run on castors or wheels and can be moved about a facility for maintenance or light fabrication work.

Why choose gantry crane

As mentioned above, the main reason for choosing the gantry crane is that it has legs and can run on the ground or rails independently. It can move freely indoors or outdoors without relying on the steel structure of the factory building, this can result in a significant reduction in material costs and can be a more cost-effective solution. This is very convenient for workshops that have not planned to install bridge cranes in the early stage.
