Gantry Crane on Rails

The gantry crane on rails is engineered to deliver high-performance, safe, and precise lifting for industrial operations. Perfect for steel plants, manufacturing workshops, construction sites, and logistics centers, this crane ensures smooth horizontal and vertical movement, making it ideal for heavy-duty material handling. With customizable spans, lifting heights, and intelligent control features, the rail-mounted gantry crane enhances operational efficiency, productivity, and workplace safety. Its robust design and advanced configuration options make it a versatile solution for demanding industrial environments.

Main Components

  • Wire Rope Hoist: The main lifting component that utilizes a drum to wind and unwind the wire rope for vertical movement.

  • Lifting Rope: Comes standard with synthetic rope, with an option for high-strength steel wire rope for heavy-duty lifting tasks.

  • Trolley: Supports the hoist and moves horizontally along the crane girder; compatible with single or double girder configurations.

  • Main Girder: The horizontal beam supporting both the trolley and hoist, available in profile or box girder designs.

  • End Carriages: Contain the wheels that allow the crane to travel along the rails smoothly.

  • Hooks: Manufactured according to DIN 15401 standard for safe and secure lifting.

  • Control System: Operable via pendant, remote control, or integrated smart features.

  • Electrical System: Includes motors, wiring, and optional smart functions such as hook centering and obstacle prevention.
