What Is a Gantry Crane?
A gantry crane is an overhead crane with a single or double girder configuration supported by freestanding legs that move on wheels or along a track or rail system. Gantry cranes are a better solution for facilities requiring a mobile option instead of a fitted permanent crane system. Larger gantry cranes may run on a rail or track embedded in the ground, typically in a straight line, or in a dedicated work area. Smaller portable gantry cranes run on castors or wheels and can be moved about a facility.
