Gantry cranes

Gantry cranes are large, mobile lifting devices used to move heavy objects, often in shipyards, construction sites, or factories. They consist of a tall, sturdy framework called the gantry, which spans across the workspace and is supported by legs on either side, allowing the crane to move along tracks. A hoist or trolley is mounted on a horizontal beam, enabling it to lift, lower, and position heavy loads precisely. This design provides high stability and the ability to handle massive weights, making gantry cranes essential for efficiently transferring large items or equipment across a work area.
