Cranes are widely used. Normally, they are used to move materials or heavy machinery in difficult and difficult conditions. That is why cranes are made in different types. The most important of them are gantry cranes and semi-gantry cranes.
Getting to know half-gantry cranes
Semi-gantry cranes are other types of cranes that are used in certain fields. The main use of half gantry cranes is in sheds or factories where there is only one solid wall. These cranes are installed on the wall from one side. The other side of the crane is placed on a strong and large base. Semi-gantry cranes are also divided into single-bridge and double-bridge categories. In general, the use of semi-gantry cranes reduces costs.
The difference between gantry and semi-gantry cranes
Application is known as one of the main differences between gantry and semi-gantry cranes. Some of the most important applications of the gantry crane are as follows:
- rail laying operation
- construction and construction of silos
- opening and closing of dams
- assembly of concrete-related products
br>- Transporting heavy machinery at high altitudes
Difference in height of gantry crane and half gantry crane
Height is considered as the main difference between gantry and semi-gantry cranes. Gantry cranes are usually 10 to 15 meters high. If more height is required, overhead cranes are installed. Keep in mind that installing overhead cranes can be expensive, but it increases the safety of the work.
