Welcome to Gantry Cranes Source

The Gantry Crane is one of the heavy workhorse cranes of the lifting world. Gantry cranes can often be seen in shipyards, dockyards and ports where they are used to move heavy loads and containers onto and off ships.

A gantry crane is similar in construction to overhead cranes. The main difference is that in the case of the gantry crane the lifting gear or hoist is located in a trolley that usually suspended underneath a beam or two beams or girders spanning uprights. Cranes of this type can move at right angles to the direction of the gantry on wheels and in some example the whole is a lightweight structural assembly also on wheels so that it can easily be moved from one location to another. Heavier assemblies can be a greater load-bearing box assembly type mounted on rails.

Manufacturers of gantry cranes include Metro Engineering Industries, Wallace, Abus, Gorbel and Spanco to name but a few. The website - www.gantrycranessource.co.uk - is the place to obtain a gantry crane.
