In the UK construction sector, efficient material handling is crucial for maintaining productivity, safety, and project timelines. Construction gantry cranes provide a reliable and versatile lifting solution, enabling the movement of heavy materials, prefabricated structures, and large equipment across construction sites.
At Granada Cranes, we specialise in designing and supplying construction gantry cranes in the UK, tailored to meet the demanding requirements of modern construction sites.
Types of Construction Gantry Cranes
1. Full Overhead Gantry Cranes
Designed to span an entire work area, supported by two legs running on tracks or rails. Ideal for large-scale projects like bridge construction and precast concrete handling.
2. Goliath & Semi-Goliath Gantry Cranes
These cranes are types of overhead lifting equipment commonly used in various industrial and construction applications. They are designed for handling heavy loads and are particularly useful when there is a need to move materials or equipment over a specific area, such as a manufacturing facility, shipping yard, or construction site.
3. Portable / Motorised Gantries
Gantries, or gantry cranes, are a type of crane built atop a gantry, which is a structure used to straddle an object or workspace. They can range from enormous “full” gantries, suitable for heavyweight lifting tasks, to smaller “portable” or “motorised” gantries that can be easily moved within industrial environments.
