The Advantages of Gantry Crane.
Gantry cranes are more widely used in outdoor areas or outside buildings. The double girder type can provide a higher lifting height than the single girder. Sometimes it is also used for indoor facilities although mostly for outdoors. The advantages of gantry crane such as affordable costs, easy maintenance and repairs, larger capacity and size and flexibility in making designs that can be adjusted to the required specifications make this type widely used in all industry segments.
Meanwhile, the drawback is that because the girder is attached to the leg of the gantry, it takes up space on the floor area. The leg of the gantry need space to move on the floor so we can’t use all the space in the building like if we were using overhead.
