Features and applications of gantry crane
 
 
Gantry crane can be used in the construction program like bridge; high-speed railway; port and warehouse, to lifting heavy equipment. It is one of the most important parts of manufacturing; construction and transportation.
 
The features and applications of gantry cranes:
 
Gantry crane is a metal beam supported by both sides of the metal legs on the ground, like a door. Universal gantry crane is a general-purpose gantry crane, which consists of the mast, traveling mechanism, lifting cars and electrical parts and other components. The legs of some gantry crane on one side only, the other side is supported to run on plant or trestle, called semi-gantry crane. The structure of Gantry crane is combination by the upper bridge (including the main beam and side beams), legs, and other parts under the crossbar. In order to expand the scope of crane operation, the main beam may extend to one side or both sides of the outside of the leg, forming a cantilever; lifting trolley can also be used with a boom, boom tilt and rotate through the expansion of the scope of crane operation.
 
Universal gantry crane has a lifting mechanism, trolley traveling mechanism and traveling mechanism. These institutions and their components generally associated with overhead crane General. The structures of most common gantry cranes are a single main beam, box-shaped double beams, trusses and other types. Extract devices typically employ hook, grab, electromagnetic chuck, can also be dual-use (+ grab hook, hook + electromagnetic chuck, grab + electromagnetic chuck) or with three (hook + Grab + magnetic chuck) and so on.
 
-  Hook gantry crane applicable to railway stations, docks, industrial and mining and materials sectors yard and open storage, handling, transport various items into.
-  Grab gantry crane suitable for handling coal, ore, sand and other bulk materials.
-  Electromagnetic gantry crane usually used to loading and unloading of steel, iron, scrap steel, iron and other materials in metallurgy machinery plant, machinery plant.
