Gantry Cranes
An Increasingly Popular Alternative to Overhead Bridge Cranes Long popular in Europe, gantry cranes have become a widely accepted alternative to overhead bridge cranes.
This type of crane is similar to the bridge crane except that it runs on a runway at the floor level.
The bridge is supported by a pair of rigid steel legs which are carried by a pair of end trucks along the floor level runway.
- often costs less than a bridge crane
- built to heavy duty Class D specifications, which meet the demands of high duty cycles and multiple shift operation, as well as providing decades of reliable service for all applications - available in spans to 150 feet and capacities to 150 tons
- can be used either indoors or outside
A Gantry Crane May Save You Money
Because gantry cranes ride on the ground rather than on overhead runways, they don't require a runway structure. Nor do they usually require concrete foundations. Their installation is fast and simple. Depending on the environment and application, gantry cranes can sometimes provide the same material handling capabilities as a comparable bridge crane system, but with a significant cost savings.
