Factors for Consideration When Choosing a Mobile Gantry

Mobile gantries from DQCRANES are largely supplied as a standard configuration but can also be custom designed and manufactured to specifically suit the customers intended application and unique requirements. 

So what factors should be considered when choose a mobile gantry crane?

• One of the most essential considerations you will need to make is the dimensions of the gantry, which includes the overall length, height and width.
• And should also take factor in any obstructions or limitations that may apply.
• The internal dimensions of the gantry are of equal importance and will include the span and effective length, as well as the size and nature of the load and placement of the load.

Types of gantry cranes for your choice!

Steel Portable/mobile gantry crane:

• This type of gantry cranes are typically light duty and best suited to occasional maintenance work or similar applications.
• Their structure allows the operator to move more freely when compared with other gantry structures.
• It is also worthwhile considering if you will have the need for compact storage. 

'A' FRAME Portable Gantry:

• An ‘A’ frame gantry is designed for heavier duty work and applications where the structure will stay erected.
• Ideal for applications where heavy loads are required to be lifted regularly, like loading and unloading in yards/open areas or for use in a workshop, the structure is robust and should be considered for all general-purpose applications. 

Adjustable Aluminium/portable gantry crane:

• Applications where height variation of the runway beam is required an adjustable height gantry would be best suited.
• For applications where the structure will be used frequently but may on occasion need to be dismantled for transportation or storage a foldable gantry is recommended.
