2) Can They Be Moved with a Load?
All of our gantry models can be moved with a live load. We offer several caster options for different kinds of facilities and applications.
3) Can They Be Motorized?
The only gantry crane that we offer with motorized travel is the Gantry Crane. The motorization includes the drive wheels and a VFD control, which allows for very smooth operation. These systems can be trackless, V-groove, or flanged wheel designs. The trackless design uses polyurethane wheels and can run on a smooth flat surface with or without an angle iron guide. The V-groove uses steel wheels with a V-shaped profile that run on a track of inverted angle iron that fits into the V. The flanged wheels are made to run on a "railroad" style rail. The wheels cannot be mixed, meaning that if you use one style of wheel, all four wheels must be the same.
4) Can the Trolley Function be Motorized?
Mine Gantry Cranes allow motorized trolleys. However, this option is usually provided by our dealers, as they are the ones that supply the hoists.
5) Do You Make a Single Leg Gantry?
We do make a Single Leg Gantry Crane similar to our design. It has all the capacities, span, height, motorization, and wheel options as our standard Mine Gantry Crane.
