Gantry crane is a kind of heavy lifting equipment, which is mainly composed of beams, brackets, trolleys, electrical and other parts. It is suitable for large operating areas that cannot be covered by bridge cranes, such as open spaces, docks, etc. Our gantry cranes have the advantages of simple structure, reliable performance, high safety and easy maintenance, and can be suitable for various industrial and construction applications. When operating gantry crane, you need to follow several rules:

Check whether there are any obstacles in the surrounding environment and rail surface, and check whether the cables are safe. Loosen the rail clamps or iron wedges, etc., and remove obstacles in the rail gaps.  

Lights should be turned on when working at night.

Check the oil filling condition of each gear cover, pusher and coupler. Confirm whether each operator, each contact, each switch and limit device are in good condition and effective.

Place the control handle or switch in the zero position and power on for trial operation.

Test lifting, lowering and rotation without load.  

Heavy load test lifting and braking.

Observe the safe operating procedures for unloading operations, read command gestures clearly, concentrate and operate carefully. The rise and fall should be steady, light and accurate. Vertical lifting is not allowed and dragging is not allowed.

The height should be enough to overcome obstacles. When rotating, be careful not to collide with other facilities, goods and people.

In safety net operations, cargo must pass through safe routes. If there is a circuit break or power outage during operation, the operating handle or switch should be placed in the zero position immediately.

If there is a long power outage, the goods should be dropped to the ground.

If the operating temperature of the motor exceeds the specified limit, it should be stopped for inspection. Operation can only be continued after the temperature drops to the allowable value.

During summer operations, the doors and windows of the machine room must be opened.

When the wind reaches level 8, work should be stopped and ventilation should be done. Pay attention to the status of each control instrument at any time and listen to the operating sounds of each part.

There are many advantages of gantry crane.

Strong carrying capacity: Gantry cranes usually have a large carrying capacity and can meet the lifting needs of heavier goods.

Flexible movement: The gantry crane adopts wheeled movement or rail movement, and can move freely within the factory, improving work efficiency.

Strong adaptability: Gantry cranes can be customized and designed according to different working conditions and work site requirements, and can meet different lifting needs.

Simple maintenance: The structure of the gantry crane is relatively simple, easy to operate, and easy to maintain.

Due to its simple structure, reliable performance, high safety and easy maintenance, gantry cranes have become indispensable equipment in various large-scale workplaces. Our gantry cranes can provide efficient lifting capacity, are suitable for loading and unloading of various large cargoes, and can work in environments such as open spaces, bringing maximum benefits to users.
