A portable Shipyard Gantry Crane has a crucial role in the operations needing heavy shipping containers or big concrete slabs which are needed to be lifted and moved. The construction of such crane is quite important for the safety of operation which is in danger.
The cranes are usually manufactured with the help of heavy-duty structural steel and advanced fabrication and welding techniques. Shipyard gantry cranes are best lifting solutions for dealing with heavy-duty loads. Few most common places involving usage of such crane are shipping yard or dockyard, construction site, warehouse, heavy machining workshops and so on. These cranes are quite different from regular shop crane which are used in smaller units.
Some essential features which should be present in the advanced portable gantry crane are-
Ø It must be capable to carry the weights up to 50,000 lbs. Such weights may include big shipping containers, concrete slabs and heavy panels etc.
Ø Heavy loads are usually of large size, thus, the crane which you are going to purchase must be able to lift the containers which are as large as 12’X12’.
Ø Lifting of loads is a kind of process which requires great precision. Thus, cranes must be capable enough to smoothly lift the load up to at least 120” for transportation, movement and unloading process.
