Light Capacity Track Gantry Cranes
Free Standing Track Crane Our light capacity track gantry cranes utilise the components available in our Tracks and Accessories range of equipment.
Many configurations are available. The two most common track system support methods are the free standing or ceiling supported.
Types of Track Gantry Crane
Free Standing Gantry
This type of system is typically provided in a format similar to the accompanying picture. The crane comprises a bridge, two runways, and two portal frame support structures.
The free standing configuration allows for a great deal of flexibility when size and positioning are concerned.
The runway track sections can be joined together and have more support structures. This allowing it to have a greater long travel length.
Ceiling Supported Track Gantry System.
This type of system is typically provided with a series of "droppers" which are connected to your ceiling structure, and which support the runways of the crane system.
The runways for these types of cranes are generally made to suit the span of the ceiling, so that a reduced number of supports are required.
A stiffening spine is welded to the back of the runway track section when larger spans are required.
Cantilevered Track Gantry System This type of system comprises the same bridges and runways as the other two types, however, this system is supported using a series of posts and cross beams which have supports on only one side of the system.
The advantage of this is that clear access is given to the other side of the crane, with no posts to get in the way of forklifts or pedestrian traffic.
