What's the difference between a gantry crane and an overhead crane?
Gantry cranes have legs and run on rails or wheels at ground level, making them suitable for outdoor use or areas without overhead infrastructure. Overhead cranes are fixed to a building structure and run along ceiling-mounted beams.
Can gantry cranes be moved or relocated?
Yes, many are designed with portability in mind. Adjustable or mobile gantry cranes can be wheeled or disassembled and reinstalled in a new location, ideal for temporary worksites or warehouse flexibility.
What industries use gantry cranes?
Gantry cranes are common in construction yards, shipping terminals, manufacturing plants and workshops. They're great for lifting heavy equipment, materials, or steel components with precision.
