European indoor gantry crane main parameter: 

  •  Indoor gantry crane lifting capacity:5tons
  •  Indoor gantry crane lifting capacity lifting height:3.8m
  •  Indoor gantry crane lifting capacity span: 15.5m.

This European indoor gantry crane has been finished the installations in the 2015.When the first time I talked with the customer, they send me their warehouse layout, from the layout, we see their whole height of warehouse is just about 4.6meters,but the customer requested the 3.8m lifting height. We checked the traditional crane is impossible to meet this requirement. Then we advised them the European indoor gantry crane: the low headroom single girder gantry crane.
Then the customer is very happy with this kind design and placed the order to us. Then production, sea delivery, etc.

The freestanding Monorial overhead cranes is also called floor mounted or column mounted monorial crane which is an excellent alternative for work areas that cannot be serviced by bridge cranes: hard-to-reach locations, buildings with high ceilings, or—with our freestanding monorails—outdoor areas without existing overhead structures.


Freestanding monorail configurations include:

  • Cantilevered systems,
  • H-frame systems, typically requiring only standard 6-inch reinforced concrete floor,
  • T-frame systems, ideal for parallel monorail lines (e.g. send and return).

Free Standing Jib indoor crane

The free standing jib indoor crane are designed to service circular areas and support tool balancers, air balancers, vacuum lifters, and hoists. When floor mounted, this type of free standing jib indoor crane can accommodate up to a 360 degree rotation. Capacities of the jib indoor crane are available from 100 lbs. to 1000 lbs. with spans up to 16'.

Tie Rod Jib indoor crane

The tie rod jib workshop overhead crane has the features such as, light-weight, high strength extruded aluminum enclosed track. This revolutionary track reduces the rotational dead weight of the boom by 56% to 68%, making the jib up to 40% easier to rotate than comparable I-Beam Jib Cranes. The tie rod design minimizes deflection and is more precise when positioning loads than other jib cranes.

  • The tie rod jib crane can be mounted to wall or column
  • Available in capacities from 150 - 2000 lbs. with spans up to 20'
  • Has less deflection for easier load control and positioning
