Heavy Duty Gantry Crane for Precast Beam Lifting | Custom Box Girder
Short Video Description
This video shows a heavy duty gantry crane for precast beam lifting, designed with a customized box girder for precast concrete plants, beam yards, construction projects and heavy outdoor material handling.
The box girder gantry crane can be customized for lifting precast beams, concrete girders, bridge beams and other long or oversized loads. The crane structure, hoisting system and travelling mechanism are designed according to the actual load dimensions, lifting points and working cycle.
For precast beam lifting, important design parameters include lifting capacity, span, lifting height, beam length, load center, duty class, wheel load, rail gauge, travelling distance and lifting method. Yuantai Crane reviews these parameters together before finalizing the crane design and quotation.

Customized Gantry Crane for Precast Beam Lifting
A precast beam gantry crane must be designed around the actual beam rather than capacity alone. Beam length, weight, lifting points, center of gravity and required hook spacing can directly affect the crane configuration.
For long precast beams, Yuantai Crane can provide dual hoists or synchronized lifting systems to distribute the load between multiple lifting points. The girder, trolley arrangement and control system are checked for the required lifting operation.
The customized box girder gantry crane can also be designed with different spans, lifting heights, cantilever lengths and travelling distances to match the precast production yard and beam storage layout.
Precast Beam Gantry Crane FAQ
Find answers to common questions about heavy duty gantry cranes for precast beam lifting, including capacity, synchronization, customization, and engineering support from Yuantai Crane.
1. What type of gantry crane is used for precast beam lifting?
A heavy duty box girder gantry crane is commonly used for precast beam lifting because it can be customized for high capacities, long spans and different lifting-point arrangements.
Yuantai Crane can configure the crane with a single hoist, dual hoists or synchronized lifting system according to the beam weight, length and lifting method.
2. Can the gantry crane lift long precast concrete beams?
Yes. A precast beam lifting gantry crane can be designed for long concrete beams and girders. The beam length, weight, lifting points, center of gravity and required hook spacing should be provided before design.
3. Can two hoists lift one precast beam together?
Yes. Two hoists can be configured for synchronized lifting when the crane and control system are specifically designed for tandem operation. Load distribution and lifting-point positions must be confirmed during engineering.
4. What information is needed for a customized precast beam gantry crane?
Provide the beam weight, beam length, lifting points, lifting capacity, span, lifting height, rail gauge, travelling distance, working frequency and site layout. Beam drawings or photos are also useful for confirming the lifting arrangement.
5. What experience does Yuantai Crane have with heavy duty gantry cranes?
Yuantai Crane has engineering and manufacturing experience with heavy duty gantry cranes, box girder gantry cranes, precast beam lifting cranes and customized industrial lifting systems.
For each project, Yuantai engineers review the main girder, gantry legs, hoisting system, trolley arrangement, wheels, rails and foundation loads according to the actual lifting application.
