1000kg Aluminium Lifting Gantry Advantages

Because aluminium is a safe, stable, non-reactive material, this gantry can be used in clean environments. It will not be a cause for contamination in its own right, and will equally be able to withstand coming in contact with a number of potentially disruptive substances that might leave other assemblies suffering from rust and other types of corrosion quite quickly. Its ATEX certification means it can be used in zone 2 hazardous areas safely and can be made for use in Zone 1 areas if required.

Since it is corrosion resistant, you can take this crane almost anywhere with you and trust that it will operate reliably, without suffering wear and tear, day after day. 

One of the great advantages of these porta gantries is that they are certified for use as a fall prevention device for your personnel, although at  a reduced working load limit - typically half the WLL stated.

Add-Ons & Safety Features

There are a number of optional components to add to your aluminium gantry crane order with Lifting Gear Direct, whether you pick this model with a one tonne load capacity, or select one of the many other units we sell. 

For example, you might want to improve the height adjustability, which is where the winch kit comes in handy. Rather than having to mess around with locking pins, you can simply spin the mechanism to raise or lower the lifting beam manually. 

Also available are feet which double up as parking jacks, which enables you to boost safety and stableness when the gantry is being used on an incline, or on irregular surfaces where lumps and bumps would throw it off-kilter.

Other optional accessories can be found below  which includes winch kits, cheek plates  and more. Whether you plan to use this gantry across different parts of the same work site, or intend to take it out on the road with you and visit different locations, it will be a reliable companion that boosts productivity and lessens the likelihood of injuries occurring due to lifting.
