Gantry crane

Introduction:

In the field of modern industry and construction, lifting equipment plays a pivotal role. They not only help various heavy operations to proceed smoothly, but also greatly promote the improvement of production efficiency. Among the many lifting equipment, gantry cranes have become an indispensable part of many engineering sites with their unique structural design and powerful lifting capacity. Gantry cranes, as the name suggests, are shaped like a steel portal across space. Through precise mechanical transmission and electrical control systems, they can achieve stable lifting, translation and rotation of heavy objects, providing strong support for operations such as material handling and equipment installation.

When we focus on the 10-ton gantry crane, it is not difficult to find that this particular model of gantry crane stands out among many models with its moderate lifting capacity and wide range of applications. Whether it is a busy port terminal, an efficient factory production line, or a huge storage facility, the 10-ton gantry crane has become an indispensable and important tool in these scenes with its high efficiency, flexibility and safety. It not only meets the basic needs of heavy object handling in daily production operations, but also has won wide recognition and praise from the industry with its excellent stability and durability.

This article will explore the secrets of the 10-ton gantry crane in depth, from the basic overview to the structural principle, to the operating precautions and maintenance, and comprehensively analyze the charm and value of this industrial giant. By reading this article, you will not only be able to understand the technical details of the 10-ton gantry crane, but also deeply appreciate its key role in promoting industrial progress and promoting social development. Let us walk into the world of the 10-ton gantry crane and feel the wisdom and power of the machine.

Types of 10 ton gantry crane

Mh 1-32t Type Single Girder Gantry Crane Used in Outdoor Workshop Plant

Single-beam gantry crane

Features and advantages:

Simple structure: The single-beam gantry crane has a simple design and only one main beam, which makes it easier to install and operate.
Light weight: Compared with double-beam gantry cranes, single-beam gantry cranes are lighter, which helps to reduce equipment and maintenance costs.

Double beam gantry crane

Double-beam gantry crane

Features and advantages:

Stable structure: Double-beam gantry cranes are composed of two main beams. The structure is more complex but more stable and can withstand greater loads.
Strong load-bearing capacity: The load-bearing capacity of this type of gantry crane is usually more than 20 tons, and some models can reach hundreds of tons, which is very suitable for handling bulk goods or heavy equipment.
Applicable to large sites: Due to its structural characteristics, double-beam gantry cranes are more suitable for operating in large sites or open spaces, such as large factories, warehouses or docks.

Single cantilever gantry crane

Single-cantilever gantry crane

Features and advantages:

Single-side cantilever design: One side of the main beam of the single-cantilever gantry crane is cantilevered, which makes it easy to operate in a small space.
Extended operating range: The single-side cantilever can effectively expand the operating range, allowing the gantry crane to lift heavy objects farther away.
Strong site adaptability: The design of the single-cantilever gantry crane enables it to be flexibly used in different sites, and can successfully complete tasks both indoors and outdoors.

Double cantilever gantry crane

Double Cantilever Gantry Crane

Features and Advantages:

Cantilevers on both sides: Double cantilever gantry cranes have cantilevers on both sides, which increases the operable range and improves operating efficiency.
High-efficiency operation: Due to the double cantilever design, this gantry crane is very efficient when loading and unloading cargo.
Reasonable structure: The structural design of the double cantilever gantry crane is very reasonable, which makes it perform well in terms of load-bearing capacity and stability.

RTG

Rubber-tyred gantry crane

Features and advantages:

Flexible movement: Rubber-tyred gantry crane is not restricted by the site and can move freely in various environments, which is very suitable for use in construction sites and bridge construction.
No track required: Compared with traditional rail-mounted cranes, rubber-tyred gantry cranes do not need to lay tracks at all, saving time and cost.
Wide application: This gantry crane can be used almost anywhere, whether indoors or outdoors.

What can a 10 ton gantry crane do

10 ton cranes are designed and improved by Dongqi Hoist and Crane Company to satisfy the needs of handling equipment, warehouse shipping, lifting and repairing machines, and material-transporting in routine production.

Due to the limitations of the working environment, different types of gantry cranes need to be used in different working environments. These humanized designs will bring a lot of convenience to the production and life of customers.

Classified by function and application, there are ordinary gantry cranes for loading and unloading general materials, gantry cranes for construction and installation, grab gantry crane, magnetic gantry crane, etc.

Gantry Cranes In Workshops

Gantry crane can be used in workshops for general lifting purpose. This kind of crane is the most widely used and can handle various materials. There are single girder and double girder configuration for you to choose.

Compared with overhead cranes, workshop gantry cranes do not need support columns, thus saving initial construction costs. If your workshop is not applicable for supporting an overhead crane, gantry crane is also a cost-effective option!
