Gantry Crane
A gantry crane is a crane built atop a gantry, which is a structure used to straddle an object or workspace. They can range from enormous “full” gantry cranes, capable of lifting some of the heaviest loads in the world, to small shop cranes, used for tasks such as lifting automobile engines out of vehicles. Gantry cranes have excellent lifting capacities and can be used in a wide range of scenarios including confined space access and fall protection. They can be combined with a range of lifts, hoists, and winches, and can be used for lifting materials, machinery, equipment, and personnel.
