What is a crane gantry system?
A crane gantry system is a crane featuring a horizontal beam that is supported by vertical legs. This horizontal beam, also called the bridge, holds a hoisting mechanism which will conduct the actual lifting and lowering. These systems are useful in industrial environments because they are easily portable, and therefore have the ability to lift and lower loads all over the workplace with ease.Crane gantry systemsOur systems can greatly help with your warehouse operations As well as being portable, they are also inherently sturdy and are therefore employed in a range of heavy duty applications.
