Gantry Crane

A gantry crane is a type of overhead crane that inherits the features and performance of an overhead bridge crane. Its metal structure resembles a door-like frame, with two support feet installed under the main beam that can move directly on the ground tracks. The ends of the main beam can have outstretched cantilever beams. Our gantry cranes are mainly applied for loading and unloading outdoor freight yards, material yards, and bulk cargo. Therefore, the gantry crane offers benefits for a wide range of applications, including low maintenance costs, a long service life, and low energy consumption. Also, you can select single or double girder cranes and semi-gantry cranes according to your business needs. As a global exporter and crane manufacturer, we can customize different gantry crane types based on your needs. Please keep reading to know more!

Features

 
As we all know, a gantry crane is a type of large lifting equipment. In addition, the same features and good performance as the bridge cranes. Our gantry crane also has other advantages.
  • Firstly, the lifting structure relies on the track to complete, which eliminates the fault source from the wheeled truck or diesel generator set. Then, it will reduce the failure incidence rate during running.
  • Secondly, our gantry crane drives by motor power, so you do not need to replace the machine oil when it is operating. So that the maintenance and running costs are very low, and bring you higher business rewards.
  • Finally, it has a high level of automation, low air pollution and noise pollution, saving energy consumption, and other advantages. When a gantry crane is running, it is linked to a high-voltage power supply and will not produce air pollution or noise pollution. In addition, to avoid deviation in the case of high load force, the gantry crane in the track lifting process, the track is in a fixed state, with the truck positioning device, a high level of automation.
 

 

Application

 
The gantry crane can freely move on the ground track. This special design not only improves its working flexibility but also enhances its working range. And then expand its application fields. So, what is a gantry crane used for? Please follow us to know more details.

1. Loading and unloading of goods

The crane not only has the characteristics of a large weight and strong lifting capacity, but also its wheel-type walking mechanism makes it easy to move horizontally and position, and its large movement range can meet the needs of loading and unloading goods of various sizes and weights. It can be widely used on various occasions, such as factories, warehouses, ports, docks, railways, highways, and construction sites.

2. Construction Projects

Gantry cranes can also be used in construction projects. They can help install bridges, steel structures, pipelines, and large mechanical equipment, making construction more efficient and ensuring greater safety.

3. Ports

The height and wheelbase of gantry cranes can be adjusted according to different conditions, making them highly adaptable and suitable for various port scenarios, such as container and bulk cargo terminals.

4. Shipbuilding

During shipbuilding, a large amount of mechanical equipment is needed for various operations, including lifting, hoisting, and moving. Gantry cranes are one of the most important pieces of equipment and can improve production efficiency and reduce labor input.

Gantry Crane vs. Overhead Crane: Which Is Better?

 

The differences in structure, application scenarios, and running tracks between bridge cranes and gantry cranes are obvious:

Structural differences:

1. Bridge cranes: Bridge cranes are mainly supported by two parallel beams that span the length of the crane. They typically have a larger span, allowing them to cover a larger work area. This structure gives bridge cranes a larger working range and lateral stability, making them suitable for transport and lifting operations within a relatively smaller area.
2. Gantry Crane: This type of crane has a portal frame structure and tall legs, allowing it to cross obstacles of a certain height. This structure gives the gantry crane high stability and load-carrying capacity, making it suitable for transportation and lifting operations over longer distances.

Application Scene Differences:

1. Bridge Crane: Primarily used in factories, warehouses, and other indoor environments, the bridge crane plays a crucial role in material handling within these facilities. Due to its unobstructed movement on the ground, it is widely used in factories, warehouses, and workshops where precise lifting and transportation are required.
2. Gantry Crane: Usually used outdoors, such as in cargo yards and material storage areas, for loading and unloading large cargo. The gantry crane is particularly suitable for ports, cargo yards, steel mills, and other places where large tonnage and large-span lifting operations are required.

Trajectory Differences:

1. Bridge Crane: The overhead crane can freely move along the tracks between the factory and warehouse, performing material handling tasks. The bridge crane's bridge girder runs longitudinally along the tracks laid on both sides of the high-rise supports, allowing for efficient utilization of space under the bridge girder for lifting materials.
2. Gantry Crane: The gantry crane can move along the tracks in outdoor cargo yards and material storage areas, performing loading and unloading operations for large cargo. The gantry crane's boom is supported by the uprights, allowing it to walk directly on the ground-level tracks.
These differences indicate that bridge cranes and gantry cranes differ in specific usage scenarios and functions. The bridge crane is more suitable for fixed-position lifting operations within a building or warehouse, while the gantry crane is better suited for lifting operations that require mobility and spanning longer distances.
