Gantry Cranes
Description
Meltech Gantry Cranes are robust and high-capacity lifting systems designed for handling large and heavy loads in industrial environments. Unlike overhead cranes, these cranes are supported by legs that move on tracks, allowing them to operate without the need for building support structures. They are ideal for outdoor applications and areas where installing overhead support beams is not feasible.
Applications
- Steel Plants Yards: Handling steel coils, slabs, or ingots in heavy fabrication zones.
- Construction Sites: Lifting and placing large precast elements such as bridge sections and girders.
- Rail and Metro Projects: For installation of segments, launching girders, and maintenance of rolling stock.
- Power Plants & Wind Energy: Used for turbine assembly, heavy generator components, and other critical infrastructure.
Advantages
- Eliminates the need for permanent overhead structures.
- Ideal for large outdoor material handling and assembly tasks.
- Provides high flexibility in handling oversized or odd-shaped loads.
- Capable of working in challenging environments like yards and industrial open grounds.
Key Features for Outdoor Applications
- Manual sliding canopy for trolley and canopy for control panel.
- Individual hinged cover provided for motor and brake for LT drive.
- Complete crane structure is epoxy painted after shot blasting and cleaning.
- Manual rail anchoring provided at both ends of the crane.
- Additional parking brake for LT motion.
- Staircase ladder provided for access to the top of the crane.
- Wind area and pressure considerations included in crane design.
Meltech Heavy Duty Gantry Cranes are indispensable assets in sectors requiring the handling of large and heavy materials. Their combination of strength, flexibility, and advanced technology makes them a preferred choice for heavy lifting operations across diverse industries. Proper design, regular maintenance, and adherence to operational safety standards ensure long-term performance and reliability.
