Bridge cranes from Easy Rack combine the power of a portable gantry system with the greater stability and safety offered by a fixed unit.

Industrial or commercial bridge cranes consist of large fixed support frames that extend over the entire work area providing unlimited flexibility. This heady duty framework has two support beams that act as the rails along which the main lifting beam can move. You typically see these type of overhead bridge cranes in large facilities that have the need to rotate stock or move materials frequently. Smaller facilities may want to consider steel gantry cranes or aluminum gantry cranes as an alternative.

The capacity of the bridge crane will depend to a certain extent on the exact specifications that you set out when designing and building the frame. However, most bridge cranes are capable of lifting up to 2,000 pounds. Easy Rack has overhead crane models of up to 30 feet with a maximum width of 20 feet, although smaller applications from 20 feet by 10 feet are also available.

One of the most important aspects of the design of a bridge crane is that it requires no power in order to operate. The whole movement can be controlled manually from the ground simply by manipulating the object hanging from the beam in order to move it to the correct position, whereupon it can be lowered into place.

Easy Rack Bridge Cranes are entirely modular in their design and construction, so that if your requirements change, or you move to a new location, it is possible to dismantle your existing unit, and with the addition of a few new parts, rebuild it either larger or smaller in a new location very simply.

Easy Rack sells heavy duty steel and aluminum overhead cranes, jib cranes and gantry cranes.

Overhead cranes or steel gantry cranes are a valuable tool in any industrial or commercial environment. Steel gantry cranes are extremely heavy duty and come in a number of different configurations to provide greater lifting power and flexibility. Easy Rack steel gantry cranes and overhead bridge cranes have wider main support beams which allow for more lifting capacity and flexibility.

The benefit of an aluminum gantry crane over steel gantry cranes is the actual weight of the crane is much lower, and the metal is not subject to corrosion. The stiffness and structural integrity of these units allows them to be made lighter than steel versions, although in order to ensure maximum strength, the aluminum gantry cranes will normally be over designed, and have a greater capacity to lift than many other overhead cranes.

Unlike gantries, which are intended for lateral movement, and can be moved around the workplace, overhead cranes with a fixed post and cantilevered jib are intended to be used in a single location. Easy Rack has a tremendous variety of different jib crane designs available from light duty small models that are intended for use on a single workbench and are restricted to relatively low weights through to larger and more powerful models that are intended for heavy work unloading and loading vehicles, and serving a large area of the workshop from a single point.

Specialized models like the mini overhead cantilever jib are designed to fit precisely around a standard size work bench, and allow the operator to swing heavy items up from the ground into a position where they can be worked on easily. The jib itself usually features a movable pulley system to allow for the materials to be moved in any direction, while the cantilever ensures stability for the whole overhead crane, and depending on the exact model you choose, a lifting capacity of up to 2,000lb is possible.

We also have a terrific selection of industrial shelving, Commercial lighting fixtures, ergonomic equipment & supplies, new & used pallet racks, as well as virtually any material handling equipment.

If you are expanding your facility or updating some material handling cranes before year end, Easy Rack can help by calling 713-553-1122 or contact us online. Our customer service department is geared up for the holidays and can expedite your order for tax planning purposes.

Easy Rack has a plethora of commercial grade gantry cranes and industrial jib cranes to choose from!

What should I look for when researching steel gantry cranes?
You should investigate a number of different options available before you purchase your steel gantry crane including a variety of actual lifting gear and hoists including motorized and powered versions. We have a plethora of gantry cranes and jib cranes to choose from!

Did you know that you can steel gantry crane can be motorized?
Some Easy Rack powered steel gantry cranes have a traction drive module that attaches to the wheels and allows for easy maneuvering around the warehouse. Other steel gantry crane 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.

What are the lifting requirements of gantry cranes?
The lifting capacity of the gantry crane you choose depends on a number of considerations. The most important thing is to identify the type, size and weight of the items you will be lifting with your gantry crane. 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. Have you seen the gantry lift trucks for even smaller loads?
