Application scope of gantry crane

A gantry crane is a type of lifting equipment consisting of a main beam, supporting legs, and ground beams. It is usually installed outdoors and is a simple and convenient lifting device. The gantry crane is a common equipment in the lifting industry, with good stability and practicality, so it is widely used. Shandong gantry crane manufacturer will introduce some application ranges of gantry cranes to you.

The use of gantry cranes in ports is beyond doubt. Port freight has a large number of containers, and the use of gantry cranes can smoothly and quickly complete the loading and unloading of port cargo containers. The application of gantry cranes in this field is very mature, and can be expanded to include gantry cranes in ship parking and other areas, achieving various functions in a real sense.

So what is the cantilever of a gantry crane? The simple understanding is that the section where the main beam extends beyond the support legs is called a cantilever. If we use the track of one side of the large vehicle as a reference, the part of the main beam that extends beyond the track is the cantilever of the gantry crane.

The manufacturing of large equipment often requires the assistance of lifting equipment. Such as shipbuilding. It is impossible to spread a large volume of hundreds or thousands of tons through manual labor, with arbitrary lifting and lowering. We need to use the lifting equipment of the gantry crane to complete this task.

In general, gantry cranes are used for normal production operations or for stacking and moving materials within the span. As long as the transport vehicle is parked on the normal channel, the materials can be lifted normally, which is very convenient. So since having a cantilever gantry crane is very convenient, do all gantry cranes come with a cantilever? Actually, this also depends on the actual usage needs and the situation of the site. Different occasions have different design and usage requirements. For example, indoor gantry cranes are not suitable for designing with cantilevers. Therefore, the specific form of the gantry crane is determined based on the actual usage needs of the customer.
