The motorized gantry crane is an ideal solution for any industrial and logistics environment where load handling tasks need to be performed flexibly without the installation of a fixed rail system. This type of crane moves directly on the floor, controlled by either a pendant control or an operator, and can be maneuvered and reversed in all directions. It offers a fast, efficient, and cost-effective solution for any indoor space where the installation of a fixed rail overhead crane is either not economical or technically difficult.
One of the greatest advantages of the motorized gantry crane is that there is no need to drill into the floor or install fixed rails for its operation. The crane is available in a standard configuration with a span of up to 10 meters and a lifting height of up to 6 meters. Its load capacities are selectable for the following weights: 1000 kg, 1600 kg, 2000 kg, 3200 kg, 5000 kg, and 6300 kg.
Capacity / Span | 3m | 3,5m | 4m | 4,5m | 5m | 5,5m | 6m | 6,5m | 7m | 7,5m | 8m | 8,5m | 9m | 9,5m | 10m |

The crane is operated via a pendant control or radio remote control. The gantry also has the possibility to turn on itself by reversing the direction of the motors and the spring loaded cable reel connected to the power supply will allow the user to make 360 °.
As an option, a battery-powered version is available, enabling operation without a mains power connection. In this case, not only the movement of the gantry crane but also the motions of the chain hoist are powered by the battery, making the equipment completely independent of any external power source. The batteries provide full-day operation on a single charge, with overnight charging from a standard 230 V mains supply.
The motorized gantry crane is an excellent solution when heavy loads need to be quickly and safely transferred between work areas, even workshops, without the need for fixed tracks.
