6 Ton Gantry Crane

The 6 ton gantry crane from Yonghao offers a perfect combination of strength, precision, and reliability for lifting and transporting medium-weight loads. Designed to optimize workflow and ensure safety, this crane is suitable for industrial workshops, warehouses, and construction sites. With flexible configurations and user-friendly controls, the 6 ton gantry crane maximizes productivity while minimizing operational downtime.

Main Components

  • Electric Chain Hoist: The primary lifting mechanism, powered by an electric motor to operate the lifting chain.

  • Load Chain: Constructed from high-strength alloy steel, ensuring reliable lifting with stable and smooth motion.

  • Trolley: Supports the hoist and enables horizontal movement along the girder, available in both single-girder and double-girder configurations.

  • Girder: The main load-bearing beam, either profile or box type, designed to carry the trolley and hoist securely.

  • Hooks: Manufactured from forged steel and fully compliant with industrial safety regulations.

  • Control System: Standard pendant control with festoon system, with an optional upgrade to wireless remote operation.

  • Travel Motor & Drive: Provides stepless speed control for precise and seamless horizontal travel.

  • Power Supply System: Energy delivered through drag chain or flat cable system, ensuring consistent and safe power supply to the hoist.
