Performance advantages of small gantry crane

The mobile gantry crane has the advantages of simple structure, flexible assembly and transfer, strong mobility, economic benefits and high safety performance, and large capacity. The simple gantry crane can be used to handle the loads with the capacity of 0.5 ton to 10 ton. With customized , the small gantry can be up to 20 ton. when the height of the workshop is limited, it can be equipped with a low-headroom electric hoist to achieve higher hook patch.

General applications of portable gantry cranes

Any general material handling worksites with even ground, warehouse, logistics center, production workshop, laboratory, clean room, etc.

It is suitable for the production and manufacture of abrasive tools, automobile maintenance and processing plants, mining, construction sites and places where lifting and hoisting are necessary. For example, the loading and unloading of goods on the vehicle, the lifting of heavy diesel engine parts in the automobile maintenance workshop, etc.

The most obvious advantage of the simple gantry is that it can be moved in multiple directions, occupies a small area, and has an effective steel structure model, which are widely used for the installation, transportation and adjustment of machinery and equipment in the applicable production workshop.

Application conditions of small gantry cranes :

• 1) The altitude of the installation location does not exceed 3000m. When the altitude exceeds 1500 meters, the working ability of the diesel engine is discouraged in many ways.
• 2) Working temperature during work: –30℃～50℃.
• 3) Flammability, flammable and corrosive gas can not be stored in the office environment of lifting equipment.
• 4) It is not allowed to re-melt metal materials, which are harmful, flammable, and work under the natural environment of explosion.
• 5) Suitable for production workshops, warehouses, assembly plants, small and medium-sized processing plants and other applications.

Maintenance and repair operations

Gantry cranes are frequently utilized in applications that need versatility in day-to-day operations. They're made to transport heavy heavy loads in a number of ways. Since the maintenance and repair operations can occur on site or from one location to another, flexibility is a crucial crane designing factor.

Gantry cranes are made up of three main parts: two leg constructions in the shape of an A-frame and a wide-flange or I-beam span. Unlike conventional jib cranes, which have only one support point at the base and a boom and mast, the small gantry cranes support the load with both leg structures. The most basic A-frame gantry design has wheels on the ends of each leg component, making it easy to move.

Only one or two personnel are required to manually move the gantry crane when it is loaded from one location in the plant to another thanks to this particular support structure. They're ideal for maintenance and repair activities both inside and outside the plant because they don't rely on building structural support to carry the load, and they don't require any permanent installations or additional foundations.

While maintenance and repair applications differ from one operation to the next, the environment is a crucial consideration when determining which type of gantry crane is appropriate for your needs. One of the most significant advantages of in-factory gantry cranes is their ease of moving from one work location to another for rapid maintenance and repair.

One or two workers can roll the complete gantry crane to a new location within the shop and hoist materials as needed, depending on the size of the gantry and the weight. They have polyurethane roller for easy indoor movement, and they can even be track installed for manual or motorized travel along a predetermined path. Portable or re-locatable gantry cranes, on the other hand, are a better solution because most maintenance and repair applications involve workflow adjustments.

Depending on the needs of the operation, there are different gantry models for in-shop and outside maintenance and repair.

Portable overhead crane for engine or electrical maintenance and repair

An adjustable steel gantry crane is ideal for businesses that undertake equipment maintenance and repairs on vehicles and/or machines. Workers frequently have to remove an engine or transmission from within a vehicle—whether it's a car, light rail, or transit vehicle—and removing heavy parts from larger vehicles can be difficult without the assistance of a material handling system. Even minor items weighing 50-100 pounds may necessitate the use of a material handling system to prevent putting personnel under undue physical strain.

Adjustability and portability are essential for such applications. Height, span, and tread are frequently adjustable on adjustable gantries, making them easy to use and incredibly adaptable. A three-way adjustable gantry crane, for example, is an excellent choice for a transportation corporation that needs to pluck heavy electrical cables from rail cars since it can be moved to any place around the rail car and adjusted to lift from practically any position.

These gantries are often designed for stability, leaving the I-beam free to pivot as it self-centers over the weight. The I-beam can be cantilevered to deliver parts through the end of the gantry up to four feet past the end of the beam, and the A-frame design assists to avoid swaying. When reaching into machinery and moving huge cables or large engines that have been suspended for a long time, this is very crucial.

Solution for HVAC maintenance and repair

A light-lift system is nearly always required in HVAC applications. The problem with HVAC maintenance and repair is that it frequently demands the use of a system that is both portable and light. While one or two workers on the shop floor may readily handle multiple steel gantries, a steel gantry crane cannot be simply lifted from a service truck or work vehicle and transported from one job site to another.

Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning are abbreviated as HVAC. It is a form of automation system that manages the air quality and thermal comfort provided to humans in order to survive.

Thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer are all used in HVAC. HVAC is a sort of automation system, just like other types of automation systems.

When constructing a high-rise building, commercial complex, industrial unit, hospital, parking unit, hotels, and other structures where air quality and temperature parameters must be maintained so that the people within may live comfortably, HVAC is one of the most significant components.

Aluminum gantry crane for HVAC m aintenance and repair

An aluminum gantry crane is an ideal choice for situations like these. They can lift up to 3 tons and are simple to install and disassemble, as well as transport in a work truck or similar vehicle. Aluminum gantries can weigh as little as 0.25 ton when fully assembled (depending on capacity), making them an ideal alternative for employees who must maintain and repair HVAC equipment on roof tops or in other hazardous places.

Aluminum gantry cranes can be adjusted in height to accommodate specific lifts, uneven floors, or mobility in small locations. The crane's adjustable spans also allow it to be shortened for transport in compact spaces. Pneumatic tires can be added for convenient outdoor movement and good rooftop protection.
