‌Gantry crane‌ (also known as portal crane) is a large material handling equipment, the main body of which is composed of a portal steel frame structure, a lifting trolley and a trolley running mechanism. Its gantry spans across the track or both sides of the site, and can move horizontally along the ground track, while the lifting trolley runs horizontally along the main beam of the gantry to realize the lifting and transportation of heavy objects in three-dimensional space.

‌Core features‌:

‌Large carrying capacity‌: Suitable for scenes such as ports, cargo yards, factories, etc., and can lift tens of tons to thousands of tons of goods (such as containers, steel, and large machinery).
‌Wide operating range‌: The span is usually 10-50 meters, the height is adjustable, and the coverage area is large.
‌Strong flexibility‌: It is divided into two types: track type (fixed path) and tire type (mobile and flexible), supporting electric or hydraulic drive.
‌Typical applications‌:
It is mainly used for heavy material loading and unloading in the fields of logistics warehousing, shipbuilding, wind power equipment installation, etc. Modern gantry cranes are often equipped with intelligent control systems to achieve precise positioning, remote monitoring and automated operation, significantly improving the safety and efficiency of operations.
