Gantry Crane

A gantry crane can be designed with either a single or double girder bridge. However the main difference is that the gantry girders are attached to legs on both sides of the span. The end trucks are at the bottom of the legs allowing it to travel directly on the ground or on a rail system. This can be either laid on top of the floor or embedded in the floor enabling it to be completely mobile by eliminating a column or overhead runway system. Gantry cranes are a great alternative to large, permanent systems because gantry cranes offer up to 15-tons of lifting capacity.
