Indoor Gantry Crane

Gantry cranes can be adapted both indoors and outdoors where heavy materials are required to be lifted and moved.

They are commonly found in heavy machine shops, warehouses, storage yards, rail yards, scrap yards, container yards, etc.

Whatever your applications, a suitable crane system must be designed for your facility and your lifting needs.

Gantry cranes are used throughout the industry for a wide variety of functions. From large projects to intricate moves within confined areas, gantry cranes have served us well over the years to move large and heavy objects safely and efficiently. The portable gantry crane is the most versatile of these cranes.

Small gantry cranes

Gantry cranes come in a variety of sizes, from something that will fit in your garage to something that could lift a trailer.

The really big gantry cranes are most often seen in container shipping yards, rail yards, and places where there are large concrete slabs.

The smaller gantry cranes are much more common for use in garages and small workshops.

Smaller gantry cranes often have heavy-duty wheels, so they can be easily moved. This makes them extremely versatile and mobile.

If you need a mobile overhead crane system and don’t plan on moving more than a few tons, the smaller mobile gantry cranes are a great option.

If you need an outside overhead crane that needs to move many tons and would be fine on a rail system, then a larger gantry crane could meet your needs.

The best part about smaller gantry cranes is that they are quite inexpensive.

For around four or five thousand dollars, you can get a gantry crane that will move several thousand pounds.

This really makes them a viable option for home mechanics and hobbyists who have a lot of weight to move or hold.

Larger gantry cranes can be much more expensive and are custom built for the user.
