Lightweight Gantry Cranes

Aluminum gantry cranes are versatile lifting solutions designed for various industrial applications. These cranes are constructed from high-strength aluminum, making them lightweight yet robust. The primary function of an aluminum gantry crane is to lift and transport heavy loads with ease and precision. They are equipped with adjustable height and span features, allowing for customization based on specific application needs. They are also great for indoor and outdoor applications due to the anti-corrosive properties of aluminum.

The working mechanism of aluminum gantry cranes involves a horizontal beam supported by two vertical uprights. They are designed to lift loads from the overhead position using a manual or powered hoist and then move the load horizontally between the uprights using a trolley. Some models include the trolley but in most cases the trolley and hoist are sold separately.

Commonly used in factories, warehouses, construction sites, and maintenance facilities including for aviation maintenance, their portability and ease of assembly make these lightweight gantry cranes an ideal choice for temporary or semi-permanent lifting tasks.
