Contact SupplierWe are offering gantry cranes.
A ship-to-shore rail mounted gantry crane is a specialized version of the gantry crane in which the horizontal gantry rails and their supporting beam are cantilevered out from between frame uprights spaced to suit the length of a standard freight container, so that the beam supporting the rails projects over a quayside and over the width of an adjacent ship allowing the hoist to lift containers from the quay and move out along the rails to place the containers on the ship. The uprights have wheels which run in tracks allowing the crane to move along the quay to position the containers at any point on the length of the ship.
Types
full gantry cranes
"full" gantry cranes (where the load remains beneath the gantry structure, supported from a beam) are well suited to lifting massive objects such as ships' engines, as the entire structure can resist the torque created by the load, and counterweights are generally not required.
Workstation gantry cranes
workstation gantry cranes are used to lift and transport smaller items around a working area in a factory or machine shop. Some workstation gantry cranes are equipped with an enclosed track, while others use an i-beam, or other extruded shapes, for the running surface. Most workstation gantry cranes are intended to be stationary when loaded, and mobile when unloaded. Workstation gantry cranes can be outfitted with either a wire rope hoist or a lower capacity chain hoist.
Rubber tyred gantry cranes
smaller gantry cranes are also available running on rubber tyres so that tracks are not needed. Rubber tyred gantry cranes are used in container terminals to straddle multiple lanes of railroad and container storage; straddle carriers are used when moving individual containers or stacks.
