15 Ton Gantry Crane

The 15 ton gantry crane is engineered to deliver powerful, precise, and safe lifting for a wide range of industrial applications. Designed to handle medium to heavy loads, this crane offers flexible configurations, smooth operation, and customizable features that adapt to diverse workspace requirements. Ideal for warehouses, manufacturing plants, assembly lines, and construction sites, it maximizes productivity while minimizing installation complexity. Its robust structure ensures stability and durability, making it a trusted solution for repetitive lifting tasks.

Main Components

  • Electric Chain Hoist: The primary lifting unit powered by an electric motor, which drives the lifting chain for vertical movement.

  • Load Chain: Made of high-strength alloy, providing smooth and controlled lifting operations.

  • Trolley: Supports the hoist and moves horizontally along the crane’s girder, available in both single and double girder configurations.

  • Girder: The main structural beam, either profile or box type, that carries the trolley and hoist.

  • Hooks: Forged steel hooks manufactured according to industrial safety standards for secure lifting.

  • Control System: Operated via pendant control (festoon system) with optional wireless remote for flexible handling.

  • Travel Motor & Drive: Stepless motion system ensures smooth, accurate horizontal movement along the rails.

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