Gantry Crane

A gantry crane is a large, overhead lifting device used to move heavy objects, commonly in industrial settings like shipyards, factories, and construction sites. It consists of a tall, horizontal beam (the girder) supported by vertical legs or supports, forming a structure that spans across a workspace. The crane has a trolley that travels along the girder, equipped with a hoist to lift and lower loads. This design allows for precise movement of heavy materials over large areas, making lifting safer and more efficient compared to traditional methods.
