Motorised Gantry Crane

Mobile Lifting Solution Without Fixed Crane Installation

Lifting Systems supplies motorised gantry cranes for applications where a fixed overhead crane installation is not practical or cost-effective.

This type of mobile lifting system allows loads of up to 6.3 tonnes to be moved safely across the workshop floor without the need for rails, floor fixing, or structural modifications to the building.

Motorised gantry cranes are suitable for manufacturing, engineering, maintenance, and industrial environments where flexibility is required and lifting may need to take place in different areas of the facility.

Mobile Gantry Crane With Powered Travel

The motorised gantry crane is fitted with powered wheels, allowing the crane to travel directly on the workshop floor in any direction using pendant or remote control operation.

This makes it possible to move loads between workstations, production areas, or bays without installing runway beams or crane rails.

Standard features

Capacity up to 6.3 tonnes
Span up to 10 metres
Height up to 6 metres
Powered travel in all directions
360° rotation capability
No rail installation required
Suitable for indoor industrial use

This type of crane is often used where the working layout changes or where lifting is required across multiple locations.

Alternative to Overhead Crane Installation

In some buildings, installing an overhead crane is not possible due to structural limitations, layout restrictions, or installation cost.

A motorised gantry crane may be a suitable alternative where:

The building cannot support runway beams
Floor rails cannot be installed
Loads need to be moved between different areas
A mobile or semi-permanent lifting solution is required
Installation of a fixed crane is not justified

Lifting Systems can advise on the most suitable lifting system based on the application, load requirements, and available space.

Safe and Controlled Operation

The crane is designed for controlled movement and safe load handling in industrial environments.

Control and safety features

Powered wheel drive system
Pendant or radio remote control
Integrated power collector for continuous rotation
Four bumpers for impact protection
Smooth speed control for accurate positioning
Stable frame design for safe lifting

The crane can rotate by reversing the wheel motors, allowing loads to be positioned accurately even in confined spaces.

Battery Powered Option Available

A battery-powered motorised gantry crane is available where a fixed power supply is not practical.

This version allows the crane, trolley, and hoist to operate without trailing cables, providing greater freedom of movement.

Battery version benefits

Fully wireless operation
Remote control travel and lifting
Power supplied to wheels, trolley, and hoist
Suitable for full working day operation
Recharge using standard 230V supply
Suitable for large workshops and multi-bay use

This type of crane is often used where the working layout changes or where lifting is required across multiple locations.
