GOALIATH/GANTRY CRANES

Move hard to handle cartons and machinery. Lift them up, over, around and about the work or storage area. Get the pinpoint placement, accuracy, speed and load control required in aircraft, automotive, and marine repair applications, as well as the ruggedness to function in loading areas, warehouses, and machine shops. Contrx gantry cranes are available in fixed and telescoping standard designs, with capacities from 1 to 20 ton. Custom and motorized travel designs are also available on request. Motorized designs for large capacities only. Goliath / Gantry Cranes are self propelled cranes running on rails installed at ground level. Such cranes are used at - 

Construction sites .
Ports and harbors .
Workshops where existing columns cannot bear the wheel loads of a bridge crane .
Workshops with low roof tie height that might restrict the height of lift of a regular bridge crane .
Locations where bay lengths are excessive .
Locations where bay lengths do not remain constant Sites / projects where crane itself needs to be relocated from one place to another .
Locations where loadshare to be shifted from points outside the crane span as in the case of an overhang on either side of the rails .

In workshops where part utilization of shop bay is required (as in a tool room attached to a press shop), a Semi-Goliath/ Gantry Crane is used. In such a configuration one end-carriage of the crane will travel on the regular gantry rail while the opposite end-carriage will travel on a rail mounted typically on the ground.
