Why Does the Customer Buy a gantry crane?
A gantry crane is a type of crane that consists of a horizontal beam supported by two or more legs that run on rails or wheels on the ground. The beam can have one or more hoists that can lift and move loads along the beam. A Single Girder Gantry Crane has only one beam, which makes it lighter and cheaper than a Double Girder Gantry Crane. A single girder gantry crane is suitable for light to medium-duty applications, such as workshops, warehouses, factories, ports, and construction sites.
