Gantry Crane Single/Double Girder supplier from Bangladesh

A gantry crane is a type of overhead crane with legs that support its bridge, trolley, and hoist. Larger gantry systems can travel on rail or track embedded in the ground, typically running in a straight line or covering a work area. Smaller gantry systems run on wheels or casters that can move throughout a facility for light fabrication work or maintenance.

Gantry crane is typically used for outdoor applications or lifting materials below existing overhead bridge crane systems. Manufacturing facilities, shipyards, scrap yards, railyards, special construction sites, steel mills, and other applications all use gantry cranes.

Gantry crane is similar to a bridge crane, but instead of moving on suspended runways, the crane uses legs to support the bridge, trolley, and hoist. The crane legs travel on fixed rails embedded in, or laid on top of the floor.

Gantry cranes are considered when there is a reason not to incorporate an overhead runway system. They’re typically used in an outdoor applications where full beams and columns can’t be installed, or may be used below an existing bridge crane system. Gantry cranes can most commonly be found in shipyards, railyards, special outdoor projects like the construction of a bridge, or in places like steel mills where overhead room may be an issue.
