A gantry crane is an overhead crane that has an overhead beam supported by freestanding legs and moves on wheels, a track, or rail system carrying a bridge, trolley, and hoist. Workshops, warehouses, freight yards, railroads, and shipyards use gantry cranes as their lifting solution as a variation of overhead or bridge cranes.
The lifting capacity of gantry cranes ranges from a few hundred pounds to several hundred tons. They provide an efficient and economical means for lifting and moving equipment, materials, and tools of any size or weight.
