1) Gantry Crane

There are various types of gantry cranes, such as single leg, double leg and mobile cranes. Gantry cranes are used to cover a smaller work area. The heights of the cranes are also adjustable, depending on the model of the crane. The weight that can be lifted by each crane will also depend on the crane model.

For single and double leg cranes, the legs of the cranes are in a fixed position and it is secured tightly onto the floor.

For mobile gantry cranes, they are self-supporting and travel directly on the floor. The cranes are operated by power drives, which act as wheels. In this way, these cranes can be moved from one location to another easily.
