Gantry cranes are overhead cranes featuring a hoist that moves along a rail or beam, typically used for lifting and moving heavy loads in industrial settings, such as shipyards, warehouses, and manufacturing plants. They provide an efficient solution for moving large, heavy items over short distances within a fixed area.
Consider the crane's load capacity, age, overall condition, and any available maintenance records. Inspect for any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage.
Use a specialized transport service experienced in handling heavy machinery. Ensure the crane is properly dismantled, secured, and protected during transit.
Regular maintenance includes inspecting the hoist, rails, and beams for wear and tear, lubricating moving parts, and checking the electrical systems. Refer to the manufacturer's manual for detailed maintenance intervals.
