What is a gate crane?
In fact, the gantry crane is similar to the overhead crane, but its horizontal bridge is placed on two bases and is made in the form of a "door frame". Unlike overhead cranes, gantry cranes do not need to be attached to the supporting structure of the building. These products are typically used in outdoor operations, but can also be used indoors, such as warehouses. Outdoor double girder crane is used for loading and unloading. These types of cranes, which use two bridges, have two bases to hold the wagon and hoist and electrical equipment. The equipment is usually controlled from a control room. Longitudinal power supply is made with spring or motor cable. And the single bridge crane is made with limited capacity and width and is used in open spaces for moving, unloading and loading. The type of cantilever crane can operate in a wider width.
These cranes are usually made in single-bridge and double-bridge models and are used outdoors. The bridges of this crane are placed on the base and the wheels are placed on both sides, and the longitudinal movement of these cranes is done on the rails located on the ground. These cranes are usually used in docks and stone-cutting workshops. The semi-gantry type of these cranes (semi-ceiling and gantry) are used in workshops where there is a loading request in a part of the workshop.
What is the gate crane used for?
Cranes are basically widely used in various industries. Such as: lifting parts, transporting trains and wagons at the railway transportation station, lifting ships at the shipyard, loading and unloading containers at port stations, lifting and transporting heavy goods inside the factory, construction work in Location and installation, etc.
A gantry crane is one of the most important materials transportation equipments in the industry, next to the overhead crane. It is usually used for loading, unloading small or large objects inside or outside. This crane can do things beyond our facilities and advantages and greatly improve your performance and save your money.
Bridge cranes have a variety of applications due to their high efficiency and good performance. On the one hand, we can install them indoors such as warehouses, workshops, garages, factories, etc. But for external applications such as ports, shipyards, etc. are widely used. In warehouses where there are more materials and loads to transport, gantry cranes are often used, because they can withstand up to 15 tons of weight on average.
What are the benefits of a gate crane?
The gantry crane has a special place in the transportation industry. We can state the advantages of this widely used structure as follows: ☑️ Using a gantry crane is very simple and does not require much skill. ☑️ In open space, it is easy to move objects using a mobile crane. ☑️ Gantry crane is very economical in terms of energy consumption. ☑️ Gantry crane can be used as single bridge or double bridge. ☑️ Frame cranes can be designed and executed in different sizes and for different purposes. The combination of these elements along with low cost and easy maintenance is one of the advantages of gantry crane.
