A gantry crane is a type of bridge crane built with either a single or double girder structure. Its defining feature is the vertical legs equipped with wheels, allowing the crane to travel along fixed tracks, typically at ground level. Gantry cranes are designed to move heavy loads quickly and efficiently. They are commonly used for outdoor operations or installed beneath existing overhead crane systems. Depending on the application, travel distance, and load capacity, gantry cranes can operate on rails, tracks, or directly on the ground.
Zomax offers different types of Gantry Crane:
Gantry cranes are specifically designed for high-volume lifting operations and provide an efficient way to hoist or transport heavy loads across yards, fabrication shops, and general manufacturing or warehousing environments. To ensure the gantry crane system you select is both economical and efficient, consider the following factors:
Duty Cycle / Classification:
Selecting the proper duty cycle or service classification ensures that all components are durable enough to handle the required load and usage conditions.
Gantry Configuration:
Will you be using a full gantry, semi-gantry, or a portable gantry system? Will the crane travel on rails, tracks, or wheels?
Pedestrian or Vehicle Traffic:
Will workers or other equipment be operating near the gantry system? Do any components require additional guarding or special installation to prevent collision damage?
Indoor / Outdoor Use:
Will the crane operate indoors, outdoors, or in both environments? Outdoor gantry systems may require special coatings, materials, and components to withstand environmental conditions.
Power Requirements:
Will a cable reel be sufficient for supplying power, or is a more customized solution needed? For portable gantry systems, is there a nearby power source, or will extended power cables be required?
Whether you need a fixed-height gantry crane or an electric gantry crane, our crane systems are the perfect solution.
