Gantry Cranes
At Kristian Electric, we know that material handling solutions must be efficient, reliable, and customized to fit your business needs. Sometimes, this requires a crane that provides lifting support without relying on building columns or structural reinforcements. Gantry cranes offer a practical solution by placing the runway on the floor instead of the ceiling, making them a more cost-effective option for light lifting compared to traditional overhead cranes. With our range of gantry cranes from manufacturers including Gorbel and Spanco, we can provide the power, mobility, and flexibility to meet your specific lifting and span requirements without compromising on performance or safety.
What Are Gantry Cranes?
A gantry crane is a type of overhead crane supported by freestanding legs, either on casters for easy mobility or on fixed rails for more permanent applications. Unlike bridge cranes, gantry cranes don’t require a building’s support structure, making them a cost-effective solution for indoor and outdoor applications.
Benefits of Gantry Cranes:
• Versatility: Ideal for facilities with evolving needs; easily moved and adjusted.
• Cost-Efficiency: A practical lifting solution for areas where permanent installations are unnecessary.
• Indoor & Outdoor Use: Built to withstand harsh environments with corrosion-resistant options.
• Customizable: Tailored to meet specific load capacities, heights, and spans.
