What is meant by gantry crane? Or What is an gantry crane? Gantry cranes is one of the most frequently used overhead travelling cranes,with free standing Goliath gantry structure either in full gantry or semi-gantry designs with single girder crane & double girder crane configurations for indoor and outdoor material handling with the wide range of gantry crane specifications from 500 kg to 320 tons, including, 2 ton gantry cranes, 3ton gantry cranes, 5 ton gantry cranes, 10 ton gantry cranes, 15 ton, 20 ton, 30 ton up 320 ton gantry cranes, etc.
What is gantry crane used for? Gantry cranes are frequently adopted in the applications where material handling is required but without the cost of a supportive building or steel work. The motorized gantry cranes can be operated indoors and outdoors for various industrial applications in steel mills, steel stock yards, pre-cast segment yards, infrastructural construction sites and other outdoor application.
Main Types of Gantry Cranes

Advantages of Gantry Crane Systems
In industrial use, gantry crane systems are chosen because they are flexible, practical, and suitable for many working environments such as workshops, warehouses, outdoor yards, and steel plants.
- No building support required – gantry crane stands on its own structure, no need to rely on factory columns or building beams
- Flexible installation – can be installed in indoor workshops, outdoor yards, or temporary working sites
- High load capacity range – supports light duty (1–10 ton), medium duty (10–50 ton), and heavy duty (100+ ton) applications
- Suitable for indoor and outdoor use – works in factory production areas as well as open industrial yards
- Lower infrastructure cost than overhead cranes – no need for full building runway structure, reduces civil construction cost and installation time
Practical note: In industrial projects, gantry cranes are often selected when buyers need a balance of cost, flexibility, and lifting performance in industrial material handling systems. In idnsutrial use, gantry crane systems are preferred when buyers want a balance between cost, flexibility, and lifting capacity. It is widely used in workshops, warehouses, steel plants, logistics yards, and construction sites.

Single Girder Gantry Crane
Various Types of Single Girder Gantry Crane Designs
Single girder gantry crane is usually adopted box shaped gantry girder design with the features of simple structure easy manufacturing and installation, and light self-weight. Compared with double-girder gantry cranes, the overall stiffness of single girder gantry crane is weaker and usually used when the loads Q≤50 ton and the span S≤35m.
Standard Supply Scope of Single Girder Gantry
- Lifting Capacity: 1-32 tons
- Lifting Height: According your demands
- Span: 8-35 m
- Voltage: 220-440V 50/60Hz 3Phase
- Protection Class: IP44-IP55
- Working Temperature: -20-+40 ℃
- Lifting Mechanism: Electric Hoist / Open Winch
- Color: Blue, Yellow, Customized
- Note: The project on the picture is the Euroepan style single girder gantry cranes for sale Philippines for your reference.
Types of Single Girder Gantry Cranes
Single girder gantry cranes is one of the most frequently used material handling for indoor uses and outdoor uses.
The gantry cranes also can be classified into the full and semi gantry cranes, truss girder and box girders, cantilvered and no cantilever gantry cranes.
- Double cantilever single girder gantry crane - most frequently used structure, which can take full use of the endurance capacity of crane structure and application space reasonably.
- Single cantilever gantry crane with one cantilever at aside - Used when the application space is limited.
- Single beam gantry crane with no cantilever - the main girder has no cantilever with the hoisting trolley or winch trolley running within the crane span
5 Ton- 20 Ton Box Girder Single Beam Goliath Crane & Gantry Crane
Single beam goliath crane with box girder crane design with capacity of 3 ton , 5 ton, 10 ton up to 20 ton and 50 ton with process goliath crane design.
3 -20 Ton Truss Crane Design Single Beam Gantry Crane with Hoist
Single beam gantry crane with truss crane design is for outdoor use with high wind resistance & light weight. Get single beam gantry crane design now!
Semi single girder gantry crane - single leg gantry crane, with the other end of the main girder supported on the building structure.
L leg & A Frame Single Girder Gantry Cranes
Single-gantry gantry cranes have L-shaped leg gantry crane and C-shaped leg gantry crane.The L-shape leg gantry crane is easy to manufacture and install, , good endurance capacity and light self-weighted. However, the space for lifting cargo through the legs is relatively small.The C-shaped legs are made to be inclined or curved so as to have a large lateral space for the cargo to pass through the legs.
A frame single girder gantry crane is a type of A frame cranes ,which has a A shape profile.
Rubber tyred single girder gantry crane 1-20 ton , with A frame design for flexible material handling with no ground beam.
L type gantry crane is a single girder gantry crane, adopting L shaped supporting leg, offering wider clearance for long objects handling such as steel tube,concrete plate in the open freight storage and along the railway , etc.

Double Girder Gantry Crane
Various Types of Double Girder Gantry Crane Designs
Double girder gantry cranes is the most frequently used structure design, with the features of strong bearing capacity, large span, good overall stability, and coming in many varieties, but the self-weight of the double girder gantry crane is larger and their processing cost is higher compared with single-girder gantry cranes .
Standard Supply Scope of Double Girder Gantry
- Lifting Capacity: 1-500 tons
- Lifting Height: According your demands
- Span: 12-35 m
- Voltage: 220-440V 50/60Hz 3Phase
- Protection Class: IP44-IP55
- Working Temperature: -20-+40 ℃
- Lifting Mechanism: Electric Hoist / Open Winch
- Color: Blue, Yellow, Customized
- Note： The European style double girder gantry cane in the picture is tailored solution with advanced crab hoist trolley for precasting components handling in outdoor yard.
Types of Double Girder Gantry Cranes
Full frame double legs double girder gantry crane- double legged gantry crane, main girder supported on the two legs, which are in the same height.
Box girder double girder gantry crane -The box shaped gantry girder is welded with steel plates , with features of high safety, stiffness and other, etc. Box gantry girder design is usually used for gantry cranes with large and super large tonnages.The box gantry girder design also has the drawbacks of high production cost, heavy self weight and poor wind resistance.
Truss girder double beam gantry crane -The truss gantry girder is welded with angle steel or I-beam, featured as low manufacturing cost, light self-weight, and good wind resistance. However, due to the large amount of welding points and the inborn defects of the trusses structure, the truss gantry girder has the disadvantages of large deflection, low rigidity, low reliability, and frequent welding spots detection. Truss cranes are suitable for application with low requirements on safety and lifting capacity.
A frame double girder cranes usually refers to A frame gantry cranes which is a special variation of regular gantry cranes, with A shape like side profile. With various crane specifications and crane configuration, our A frame gantry cranes can be used for light, medium and heavy duty material handling, which includes the following: 5 ton ~ 50 ton light duty & medium duty single girder A frame gantry crane, 5 ton ~320 ton heavy duty double girder A frame gantry cranes, 0.5 ton ~10 ton light duty Portable A frame gantry crane.
U Frame Rail mounted double girder gantry crane shorten as RMG crane is a type of container cranes for lifting the international ISO standard containers. Adopting U frame supporting legs , the rail mounted gantry crane has wider clear space than the regular gantry crane, which enables containers move to sides easily. The whole RMG crane is designed to run quickly and steadily on the fixed gantry rails on ground for efficient container handling in outdoor workplaces, such as . port and dock, etc.
Rubber tyred double girder gantry cranes- A rubber tyred gantry crane (RTG crane) is a mobile gantry crane used in intermodal operations to ground or stack containers. Inbound containers are stored for future pickup by drayage trucks, and outbound are stored for future loading onto vessels. RTGs typically straddle multiple lanes, with one lane reserved for container transfers.
