2 Ton Portable Gantry Crane: A Light-Duty Lifting Solution for South Africa

Introduction:

A workshop in South Africa that manufactures stainless steel windows requires a reliable lifting solution to move and position its products. These windows are made from high-grade stainless steel and are customized to meet the specifications of the clients. The manufacturing process involves several stages, including cutting, shaping, and welding. Once the windows are completed, they need to be lifted and transported to the storage area or loading bay.
 
The workshop has been using a manual hoist and a chain block to lift the windows, but this has proven to be time-consuming and labor-intensive. Furthermore, the manual hoist is not suitable for heavy loads, and it poses a safety risk to the operators. Therefore, the workshop management decided to invest in a portable gantry crane to improve efficiency and safety.


 
After evaluating various options, the workshop decided to purchase a 2 ton portable gantry crane from DQCRANES for their lifting needs. This crane is specifically designed to handle the weight and size of the stainless steel windows while providing the necessary flexibility to move around the workshop floor.

How to Use Portable Gantry Crane to Lift Stainless Steel Windows?

• To lift the stainless steel windows, the workshop personnel first assemble the gantry crane by connecting the two A-frame legs and the horizontal beam. They adjust the height of the horizontal beam to the required height for lifting the windows. They then position the crane near the windows that need to be lifted.
• Next, they attach the hoist to the windows using a sling. The sling is wrapped around the windows and attached to the hoist hook. The workshop personnel ensures that the sling is secure and that the windows are balanced before lifting.
• Once the windows are attached to the hoist, the workshop personnel begin to lift the windows by turning the hand crank. They lift the windows to the required height and then move the crane to the desired location.
• Once the windows are in the desired location, the workshop personnel lower the windows carefully by turning the hand crank in the opposite direction. They ensure that the windows are lowered gently to avoid any damage.
