Types of Gantry Cranes used in Construction Industries

A Crane is an unavoidable equipment in the construction and manufacturing sectors. When you think of increasing the productivity of the material handling department, you should invest in a Gantry Crane to simplify the process of loading and unloading materials.

Types of Gantry Cranes from DQCRANE:

Full-Gantry Cranes:

• Full gantry crane systems are the most popular configuration—consisting of two legs that ride on rail that is embedded flush with the top surface of the floor. They typically run in a straight line in a dedicated work area. This design allows motorized equipment like scissor lifts, fork lifts, carts, and trucks to roll over it and cross through underneath the crane.

Semi-Gantry Cranes:

• Some gantry cranes are available with one leg that rides on rails. Another side of these cranes remains connected to a building’s wall. We have found them to be advantageous options, as they do not consume much amount of floor space.

Portable Gantry Crane Systems:

• Portable gantry cranes are smaller lighter-duty gantry systems that run on casters or rubber wheels. These wheels allow the user to move it throughout a facility to handle various materials or loads, to offer greater space-saving and floor space flexibility.

Adjustable Gantry Cranes:

• Adjustable gantry cranes can be designed with variable height and span design. Adaptability allows the end user to change the height of the beams—offering more flexibility when transporting a gantry system in and out of a facility or through different areas of a shop.

Dongqi Group types of gantry cranes are useful for managing bulky loads in different industrial sectors, including shipyards, construction sites, steel stockyards, open yards, ports and different sites for a variety of outdoor applications.
