In short, if we want to say what a gantry crane is, in fact, a gantry crane is similar to an 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 handle 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 industries. It is usually used for loading, unloading small or large objects inside or outside. This crane can do things beyond our facilities and advantages, greatly improving your performance and saving you money. Bridge cranes, due to their high efficiency and good performance, are widely used in many applications. They have a variety. 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 use of a gantry crane is very simple and does not require much skill.
- It is easy to move objects outdoors using a mobile crane. Energy is very economical.
- A gantry crane can be used as a single bridge or two bridges.
- Frame cranes can be designed and implemented 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 the gantry crane.
Crane applications of the moving gate
Mobile gantry crane, which is one of the most widely used cranes in the world, has a great ability to adapt to different conditions. The dimensions of this crane can be adjusted to any scale and various functions can be implemented with its lift. This crane can be used instead of the overhead crane and in covered places. In any part of the building where it is not possible to use a roof crane, the use of a mobile crane can be useful. The construction of small portable gantry cranes are also used as cheap equipment instead of equipment such as forklifts. Other applications of gantry cranes include the use of this structure to transport hazardous materials. Some objects or materials can be easily moved by using a mobile crane. Portable gantry crane is a suitable option for transporting goods, tools and heavy objects to different spaces. This crane is widely used in many places such as factories, factories, workshops, ports, warehouses and mines.
