A travelling gantry crane is a powerful and flexible lifting solution designed for industrial applications where heavy-duty, large-scale lifting is required. Unlike traditional cranes, the travelling gantry crane can move along rails, making it perfect for operations in large areas such as warehouses, shipyards, and construction sites. It is equipped with high-capacity hoists, advanced control systems, and customizable configurations that ensure precise and safe handling of loads.
The travelling gantry crane offers great adaptability, capable of lifting substantial weights while moving along an extended path. Whether you’re dealing with heavy materials, machinery, or large-scale equipment, this crane is built to perform. Available with both single and double girder designs, it allows for flexible customization in lifting capacity, span, and height to match your specific requirements.
A gantry crane consists of several essential structural and mechanical components:
Main Girder: A horizontal beam designed to bear the weight of the hoisting trolley, available in both single and double girder configurations.
Supporting Legs: Vertical columns that uphold the main girder and facilitate its connection to the ground rails or wheels.
End Carriages/Wheels: Positioned at the bottom of the supporting legs, these enable the crane to move along the tracks or ground surface with ease.
Hoisting Trolley: Travels along the girder, carrying the hoist that is responsible for lifting and lowering materials.
Hoist: The lifting device, which can either be a wire rope or chain hoist, is responsible for elevating the load.
Electrical System: Powers all crane functions and consists of control panels, motors, wiring, and other essential components.
Control Options: Includes pendant control, remote control, or an operator cabin, depending on the specific operational requirements.
