Steel Gantry Crane

If your industrial facility, factory or warehouse has a need for heavy duty lifting equipment for moving very heavy materials around from one place to another, and you want to be able to invest in equipment that you can rely on to have a long lifespan, and be the best quality gear available, then Easy Rack’s range of Steel Gantry Cranes will not let you down.

Thanks to their stable and functional design, the use of hard wearing robust materials throughout, and the high power lifting systems that have been integrated into them, these steel gantry cranes offer the perfect lifting solution.

The most important considerations that you should need to make when choosing the kind of equipment that your facility requires are that the machinery will fit in, and that it serves a purpose.  Thanks to the flexibility that has been built into our range of steel gantry cranes, you will find that they are able to offer total functionality, and can be infinitely adjusted to ensure that they can fit into almost any environment.

The key parts of the design of the range of steel gantry cranes available from Easy Rack are their easy to move but lockable 8 inch casters.  These wheels will tolerate the high loads that they will face on a day to day basis as you move the crane around. 

The actual frame of each unit is adjustable for height, and can be pinned into place at either side for a perfect lifting height no matter what kind of object you need to move.  The frame is made from high quality steel that is designed to last.

A number of different sized steel gantry cranes are available from 8’ through to 20’ beam width to ensure that the unit fits into place, and the width of the base ranges up to 5’ to ensure maximum stability when in use. 

The actual lifting capacity of the crane you choose will be dependent on a number of factors, but the most important thing to consider is what you will be lifting.  Having a high cost adjustable steel gantry crane with a capacity of up to 8,000lb will be a waste of resources if you are only using it for relatively light duty lifting activities, under which circumstances, one of the lighter 400lb models would probably be more appropriate.

When you purchase your steel gantry crane, you should also investigate a number of different options available including a variety of actual lifting gear and hoists including motorized and powered versions.  You can also get a powered traction drive module that attaches to the wheel and allows for much easier movement of the crane around the warehouse.  Other accessories such as ratchet action lifting gear for height adjustable models, along with specialist motorized trolleys that the actual lifting gear are attached to are worth considering, and these can make a big difference to how easy it is to use the crane when you need it.
