Gantry Cranes

Advantages of Gantry Cranes are:

  • Can be used where overhead runways are not practical.
  • A much greater bridge weight than an equivalent overhead crane.

Gantry Cranes are generally used for moving heavy loads, often outdoors. EMH has designed and built many large gantries with features such as rotating hoists, multiple hoists and enclosed cabs.

EMH builds a complete range of gantry cranes including single girder, double girder, double leg, single leg, and cantilever styles for indoor or outdoor service. Capacities, spans and heights are virtually unlimited.

Gantry Crane Applications

EMH Gantry Crane

Gantry Crane at Power Plant

A 90 ton gantry crane with a 14 ton auxiliary hoist at a New England power plant.

EMH Gantry Crane

Gantry Crane with Rotating Hoist

A 25 ton, 120 foot span outdoor gantry crane loads wall panels onto flatbed trucks. A single rotating “hammerhead” hoist, designed and built by EMH, provides precise positioning of the load.

Gantry Crane with Cab

This single leg, double girder gantry crane has a pass-through cantilever that allows hoist movement beyond the wall on the left. A fully enclosed cab controls all crane functions.

Gantry Crane at Overseas Power Plant

A 130/25/15 ton, 105 foot span, double girder gantry crane installs and services turbines at an overseas power plant. The crane uses three EMH engineered hoists. Two are mounted on a double girder trolley with service walkways and a torsion mounted hoist runs along the side of one girder. The crane uses eight bridge drives. The all-inverter controls are mounted in a stainless steel enclosure, covered by a sun shade, and air conditioned.

Semi Gantry Single Leg with Poly Wheels

10 ton single leg gantry allows loads to be transferred across 3 bays. Note the drives are both mounted on the top rail and include guide rollers for guidance. As a result, polyamide wheels at floor level eliminate the need for crane rail.

EMH designs, sells, and manufactures a complete line of overhead material handling equipment for loads from 35 lbs. to 300 tons
