Introduction to Dafang Gantry Cranes

A gantry crane is a large outdoor lifting device with a door-shaped steel frame mainly for heavy-load handling. Comply with the international safety standards (CE, ISO, EAC etc.), it eliminates the need for manual handling of bulky items and reduces workplace injuries while boosting efficiency.

The common types of gantry cranes include pont roulant à poutre unique, pont roulant bipoutre, semi-portique (one leg on rail, one on the ground for narrow spaces), truss type gantry crane ou container lifting type gantry crane. Its different design enables flexible, long-distance lifting, fitting outdoor large-scale material transport needs.

Key Features:

• Various Types: Single Girder, Double Girder, Truss Type, Semi-beam Type, Container Lifting Type
• Gamme de capacités: 1-800 tons
• Ground-Based Operation: No building structure required
• Capacités extérieures: Weather-resistant design for open-air use
• Flexible Coverage: Moves along rails for wide-area material handling

Il comporte des composants clés : poutres maîtresses (structure porteuse supérieure), jambes de soutien (raccordement des poutres au sol), un chariot de voyage (se déplace le long des poutres), et un mécanisme de levage (lifts goods via hooks/spreaders). Unlike EOT cranes (running on overhead factory rails), its legs ride on ground rails, letting it operate in open areas. It’s widely used in ports, freight yards, and heavy industry to handle containers, steel beams, or large machinery.
