Portable gantry cranes are fitted with swivel castor wheels allowing them to be moved around your workplace to carry out multiple lifting applications.
A portable gantry crane is an A-frame lifting system that utilises four swivel castor wheels at the base of each supporting column in order to provide the added advantage of manoeuvrability. While fixed gantry cranes offer increased strength and greater robustness, portable gantry cranes (also known as portable gantries) allow you to wheel the system between different workstations as required to help you achieve your operational goals.
Mobile gantry cranes are also known as lifting gantry systems or A-frame gantry. The term gantry is defined as a spanning framework, designed to support lifting devices. A mobile lifting gantry is a moveable framework for lifting heavy objects, commonly due to the heavy-duty castors fitted to the legs.
These gantries usually have the option of heavy duty castors being fitted to provide easy manoeuvrability, at least two of these castors should incorporate brakes to prevent unwanted movement, for even better stability go for all four castors with brakes. If your gantry doesn’t have brakes then parking jacks can be utilised instead, these have the added benefit of allowing good stability even on uneven ground due to the fact that the jacks can be raised to different levels to suit the ground height.
Our customers appreciate the extra mobility and flexibility they get from choosing mobile gantry systems manufactured by Lifting Gear Direct.
