Overhead Crane
Overhead Gantry Cranes
While gantry cranes are similar to bridge cranes, one glaring difference is the operation. Gantry cranes are composed of a bridge supported by two a-frame steel legs resting on the floor. These legs often have casters that allow the crane to move throughout the work area. Many operations will install a track on the floor to allow the gantry crane to ride along. They can also move with a V-groove caster that keeps them in a straight line. For all your gantry crane needs, call us.
Overhead Jib Cranes
Jib cranes are the best option when a specific lift application is required. While some lightweight models are portable, jib cranes are typically stationary. Often, jib cranes are installed over a workstation. They can be mounted on a wall, hung from a building column, or installed on the floor. Job cranes are popular because there are various models to fit headroom requirements and different applications. Mast-type jib cranes allow for 360-degree coverage, while wall-hung jib cranes offer 180 degrees of rotation. For the best jib crane service NY offers, give us a call.
