Benefits of Portable Gantry Crane Moving Under Load

DQCRANES can supply various types of movable gantry cranes can roll to all corners of a facility, making it easy to get full coverage.

They are also designed with adjustable height and span capabilities, making it easy to move material over uneven floors, through narrow spaces, or under low clearances.

One of the biggest benefits of using a DQCRANES portable gantry crane is the ability to move your gantry crane while it is carrying a load.

Motorization

• Most portable gantry cranes allow manual movement under load, but some high-capacity applications require motorized movement.
• Motorized gantry cranes can use Guide Angle Drives, Crane Rail Drives, or Trackless Drives to travel in a straight line along a fixed path.
• Unlike permanently installed cranes, these options can be moved easily and installed in a different location if the gantry crane ever needs to be relocated.

Safety

• Use extreme caution when moving a gantry crane under load. Keep the load as close to the floor as possible and position the load in the center of the I-beam.
• DO NOT push the load and do not use a lift truck or other vehicle to push or pull the gantry crane.
• Do not allow the load to swing or roll against support legs.
• Ensure that the floor is clean, level, smooth, and free of obstructions.

The ability to move DQCRANE gantry cranes under load gives them a greater range of motion than fixed gantry cranes or permanently installed systems.

They can also be moved throughout a facility, they are more flexible than permanent systems, and they provide safer and more efficient material handling than other flexible solutions, such as forklifts.
