Indoor Gantry Cranes Type And Use Case

As industrial processes and material handling become more complex, the need for efficient and reliable equipment becomes increasingly important. One such piece of equipment is the indoor gantry crane, which plays a crucial role in the safe and efficient transportation of heavy loads within factories and warehouses. In this guide, we will dive into indoor gantry cranes’ different types and applications.

Types Of Indoor Gantry Cranes

Indoor gantry cranes come in several types, including single girder gantry cranes, double girder gantry cranes, semi-gantry cranes, and portable gantry cranes. 

Single Girder Gantry Cranes

Single girder gantry cranes are one of the most commonly used types of gantry cranes in indoor settings. They feature a single girder beam mounted on two legs that run along a rail track on the ground. The hoist trolley runs along the girder beam and lifts and moves loads in a straight line.

One of the main advantages of single-girder gantry cranes is their cost-effectiveness. They are relatively inexpensive to install and operate compared to double girder gantry crane types. Single girder gantry cranes are also lightweight, making them easy to move around and reposition as needed.

In addition, single girder gantry cranes can handle moderate to heavy loads depending on their design and specifications. However, they are limited in terms of span and height capabilities compared to double girder gantry cranes.

Dafang provides single girder gantry crane solutions from 1 Ton SWL up to 20 Ton SWL (we also manufacture gantry crane designed according to client special requirement).

Double Girder Gantry Cranes

Double girder gantry cranes are another popular type of indoor gantry crane. They feature two girder beams mounted on two legs that run along a rail track on the ground. The hoist trolley runs along the girder beams and lifts and moves loads in a straight line.

One of the most significant advantages of double girder gantry cranes is their superior lifting capacity compared to single girder gantry cranes. They can handle heavier loads and span longer distances thanks to their reinforced design and construction.

Double girder gantry cranes also offer increased height capabilities, making them ideal for indoor applications that require lifting and moving objects to higher levels. They are suitable for heavy-duty applications such as shipyards, steel mills, and other industrial settings.

Dafang provide double girder gantry crane solutions from 1 Ton SWL up to 800 Ton SWL (we also manufacture gantry crane designed according to client special requirement).

Semi Gantry Cranes

Semi-portal crane has two types of single girder and double girder, which are a hybrid form of crane that combines the features of an overhead crane with those of a gantry crane. They are typically used in industrial settings where the load requirements are moderate and the available space is limited.

One of the most notable features of semi-gantry cranes is their ability to operate in confined spaces without compromising performance. This is due to their unique design, which allows them to straddle one end of the load while the other end is supported by a structure like a wall, column, or existing crane runway.

Unlike traditional gantry cranes, semi-gantry cranes can be designed to suit specific applications and work environments. They can be customized with specialized hoists, trolleys, and controls to optimize their performance for specific loads and operating conditions.

• Capacity: 2-30t
• Span Length: 3-35mtrs
• Lifting height: 6-30mtrs
• Duty Group: A3-A5
• Work Environment Temperature: -25°C〜+50°C, relative humidity ≤95%
• Reference Price Range: $2000/set-$50000/set

Portable Gantry Cranes

Portable gantry cranes can be assembled quickly and easily without the need for special tools or equipment. This makes them an ideal choice for facilities that require frequent repositioning of the crane.

• Crane’s main girder and support leg are both light types.
• Crane equipped with moveable wheels, can be easily moved in any direction.
• Crane equipped with steel wire rope hoist, electric chain hoist traversing under the main girder

Why You Need Indoor Gantry Cranes

• Lifting heavy loads: Indoor gantry cranes are designed to lift and move heavy loads with ease. They can handle weights ranging from a few hundred pounds to several tons, making them ideal for lifting and moving heavy equipment, machinery, and materials.
• Maximizing floor space: An indoor gantry crane can help you maximize your available floor space by allowing you to move heavy items without needing additional floor space for forklifts or other heavy lifting equipment.
• Improving efficiency and productivity: With an indoor gantry crane, you can move heavy loads quickly and easily, reducing the time it takes to complete tasks and improving overall efficiency and productivity.
• Reducing the risk of injury: Manual lifting of heavy objects can lead to serious injuries for workers. An indoor gantry crane eliminates the need for manual lifting, which helps reduce the risk of workplace injuries.
