Gantry Cranes
Gantry Cranes
Our high-capacity lifting gantries and cranes are built to last, with heavy-duty specifications for reliable, long-term service. These tough performers are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Specifically, our gantry cranes are designed to operate the draft tube gate opening or closing for maintenance, and the rope drum hoist for opening or closing the intake gate during maintenance. With our equipment, you can trust that your maintenance operations will be handled with efficiency and safety.
This Gantry Crane can be divided into the following major sub-assemblies:
- Bottom base frame with transverse movement assembly.
- Middle column assembly.
- Top structural Base assembly.
- Hoist mechanism assembly.
- Controls & instrumentation.
Hoists
Following today’s technology, hydraulic hoisting systems operate our gates, but mechanical rope, screw or chain pulley hoists can also be provided. GMW uses technology and hardware from internationally renowned manufacturers to operate and control the gates. At the same time, the necessary logic and software are developed by our engineers, who are also responsible for testing and commissioning our supplies.
The type of lifting device selected depends upon the gate size, the unbalanced head under which the gate will operate, the speed of gate travel and the frequency of operation. The selection of the lifting device will depend on the following:
- The unbalanced head under which the gate is to operate
- The frequency of operation
- The distance the slide is to be moved
