Gantry Crane Types

Main Components

• Electric Chain Hoist: Core lifting unit that uses an electric motor to drive the lifting chain.

• Load Chain: High-strength alloy chain used for lifting; offers smooth and controlled movement.

• Trolley: Carries the hoist and travels horizontally along the girder (available in single/double girder form).

• Girder: Main supporting beam (profile or box girder) that holds the trolley and hoist.

• Hooks: Forged steel hooks conforming to industrial safety standards.

• Control System: Includes pendant control (festoon system) or optional wireless remote control.

• Travel Motor & Drive: Stepless travel motion ensures smooth and precise horizontal movement.

• Power Supply System: Drag chain or cable system ensures stable energy transmission to the hoist.
